Okay, made my first move yesterday to bring a little “Manhattan lifestyle” to my new home in the suburbs. I’m a big fan of the band Fountains of Wayne, best known for “Stacey’s Mom,” and also known for (one of the member’s writing the greatest movie song of all time for the movie That Thing You Do. I tried to see them last year at Joe’s Pub, but it was quickly sold out.
Just saw that they’re doing an acoustic tour, with a stop at the Tarrytown Music Hall. Picked up two tickets, couple of rows back in the mezzanine, for next Thursday.
So maybe that’s one of the advantages of the Move to Suma — you get some of the same bands coming through the area, but you can actually get tickets…..
UPDATE: It occurred to me that these lyrics from FoW’s “Little Red Light” were appropriate:
Sitting in traffic on the Tappan Zee
Fifty million people out in front of me
Trying to cross the water but it just might be a while
Rain’s coming down I can’t see a thing
Radio’s broken so I’m whistling
New York to Nyack feels like a hundred miles
