Independence Day in NYC

Brooklyn Vegan is reporting that the bands playing Battery Park on July 4th this year are The New Pornographers and Midlake.

Good stuff. Let's just hope that the process for getting in this year is closer to 2003's Ryan Adams show than to 2006's Belle & Sebastian show, which by all accounts was a complete and utter travesty.

The good news? Assuming I'm still in town, I'll be unemployed and able to get myself on line for tickets when they become available. So suck on that, employed suckers!
