Our sincerest thanks as well to the organizers of the New Languages Festival: Ty Cumbie, Jackson Moore, and Aaron Ali Shaikh, for keeping the flame alive. Running an upstart, independent festival like New Languages is a thankless job at the best of times, but it is vitally important. These days, it's easy to feel like you are alone in your own isolated musical universe. Being part of New Languages made me feel like a part of a greater community of musicians and listeners -- for a moment at least, it felt like we were a roomful of people with a shared sensibility and shared goals.
So sad I missed this gig, I'll try to make Le Poisson Rouge.
You wouldn't happen to know how well they enforce the "under 18 with legal guardian" thing, would you?
I dunno exactly what the deal is at LPR, but I would guess your best bet for hassle-free entrance would be to buy in advance.
Regardless, if you wanna swing by, give me a heads-up via email and I'll do whatever I can to make sure you get in.
I'm from out of state so I'll probably try to buy in advance.
