I'm also coming to NYC for the weekend (playing in Brooklyn on Sunday the 19th). We're driving in that day and normally I'd be able to catch an 8:30 show, but we'll have our daughter with us and I don't think her car endurance will allow us to drive non-stop... I'm not quite sure when I'll get into town, but if the timing is right I'll definitely show up.
One of my downers from the loopfest last year was that I had to setup while you were playing, so my attention was divided (and I was on the wrong side of the PA).
