Metamatic Forums News and Announcements John Foxx news John Foxx at the BCB Art Gallery in New York...

I cannot get up to Hudson that day either.

There are plenty of art galleries in NYC; why not do an exhibit here

The owner of BCB is a big supporter of John and has hosted several exhibitions there.

'BCB' is becoming Johns La Scala of the art world.

I am going to have to think about this.

The fact that its not a live performance of his music is the main driver. I am quite shy and I dont see myself going up and saying hello and the fact that I am not really into the "Quiet man" spoken thing is also a consideration.

Its nine hours by car or a short flight.

Uuummm, arrrr,ummmm,arrghhhhh!

Now then young man - back in May on this thread you said "I'll go anywhere to see John"!

I too have ummed and ahhed about going to see John performing, especially if it's been one of his works I've not been quite as into. Each time I've gone to see him perform I ended up feeling glad I did and each time I didn't I regretted it later.

Also - let's be frank here - John's not getting any younger and may even decide to retire from live performances sooner rather than later; this might be your last chance!

Also; everyone on this forum who's met John has said how easy he is to talk to and however much we may be in awe of him, he's down to earth and puts you at your ease.

You got me there Herbert!

it is a Saturday as well!

Take the short flight. No sense arriving exhausted.

Oh, for anyone who does go, take cameras. Video and still.

I can only agree with Herbert about this - the only times I've ever felt regret in connection with John's work were on the occasions that I didn't attend an event. I'd really, strongly encourage you to make the effort if you think it's possible - it's always worth it!

So its looking likely that John may add a second date to the BCB gallery reading, and if so i will most certainly be there with camera firmly in hand. As this progresses we should try to arrange a pre/post show gathering of USA/Canadian fans who will be there.

I understand your sentiments exactly. Trying to clear my schedule for this also.
