R5 Staff Goes To The Bahamas For Lunch !

Woah this morning we discovered that Jet Blue was selling tickets anywhere in the world (well anywhere that they fly to) for just $10 each way. After a quick phone call it was decided that we goto Puerto Rico , Dominican Republic, Jamaica, The Bahamas. Apparently in 15 minutes time all of those other destinations sold out. So now we are going to the dumb Bahamas. Bummer that another more exotic location didn’t work out but we will still be eating grilled cheeses on a tropical beach while drinking rum out of a coconut. Part of this whole deal is you only get ONE DAY in the location you are flying to – so if anyone has any tips on how to spend a day in The Bahamas – we are all ears. Pics to come!

We will probably get kicked off this in 5 minutes

Local Natives Cancel Philly = Yankees World Series All Over Again

Local Natives have canceled their confirmed May 7th show at Kung Fu Necktie show to play another show in New York City on that night instead. We are sad cause we never had anyone cancel a show with us just to play another show in another city 90 miles away on the same night.  We are saddened by the news.  However we are comforted by the fact that we live in a city of actual people vs 20 something trust fund kids from Idaho now “repping” Brooklyn in their $1800 railroad loft apartment. So maybe it all evens out? For those who purchased online tickets – refunds will be made automatically. For those who purchased tickets at AKA Music you can bring your tickets back to our box office for a full refund. Between now and their next Philly show – start thinking of clever insults or Philly centric items to throw at them (muslim beards, soft pretzels, snow (cause there will probably still be some on the ground come june), water ice  etc.). Didn’t anyone ever tell these guys we were the 6th Burrough like 5 years ago (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/14/fashion/sundaystyles/14PHILLY.html) ?
