FREE David Byrne Concert in Prospect Park
This show demands a day’s notice because you probably already have brunch plans followed by remote control cars in the park for today. Plus, it’s friggin David Byrne for free. Somehow this concert for the Celebrate Brooklyn concert series isn’t a fundraiser and isn’t some no name band. Oh, what’s that? They are charging $325 for a gala dinner before the show, but I can just come for the concert with a sandwich wrapped in foil? Excellent.
So yes, skip the gala, come to the show and watch David Byrne descend (from the heavens) to the Prospect Park bandshell for a brief visit and hopefully some sweet dancing and oversized suits like in the concert video “Stop Making Sense”. The music will all be culled from his library of collaborations with Brian Eno (also pictured above), whose “By This River” is one of my favorite songs and an immediate reminder for Chris Farley’s Matt Foley character, who lives “in a van, down by the river”. If you have an extra $325 you can attend the pre-show gala or give it to me to pay my rent.
When: Monday, June 8th @ 6:30 -9:45 pm
Where: Prospect Park (in the bandshell at 9th on the west side)
And, in case you forgot…

Thanks for info!
$325 for rent where do you live in a cardboard box or soup kitchen. How about this site stop rolling in your unfortunate cheapness and actually offer some ideas on how not to be a broke ass. Its time to evolve guys. And if youre over 21 and a college grad being broke is not sexy or cute.
Well Veronica, considering that you didn’t even know to put a question mark (?) after a sentence that is a question, college didn’t seem to do you much good. If you still haven’t figured out that the whole point of this site is to let people know that life is amazing, no matter how much money a person has, then you’re certainly not as sharp as you think. Are you sure this is the right website for you?
I noticed that your email address has the word “Fendi” in it. The only thing more ridiculous than needing a $500 bag to prove your social worth, is being so obsessed with it that you feel the need to let every single person you email know how important it is to you. How’s that for “not being sexy or cute”?
tell veronica that she can go eat her dad’s ass
Haha Veronica. Her name alone says it all. I can picture her now, waiting at the bar of a club she paid sixty dollars to get into, waiting for some chump to buy her drinks so she won’t have to spend anymore money. Mr. Right would be a beefed up man with a shape up. Some kind of Ed Hardy shirt and or sunglasses, because we all know the coolest dudes wear shades at night…in clubs….he probably drives an Acura but lives at home because no one makes meatballs like mom.
“but lives at home because no one makes meatballs like mom” That shit is hilarious!!
@ Veronica: A cardboard box? Puhleeze. I sleep on an air mattress in a sleeping bag. Every night I feel like I’m camping. In a living room. And to my knowledge soup kitchens don’t offer housing, but I’ll research it and write about it if they do. So thanks for contributing to our mission!
ciao fea!
unsexy, uncute Oliver
Well, you knew it was a question, didnt you? (Question Mark) So, maybe getting a clear message across doesnt always require perfection in grammar.
And speaking of Making Sense, have you seen the actual DVD. The man, The Myth, The Legend, David F’n Byrne does a “funny dance”, as you so horribly put it, throughout the entire DVD.
I would rename that video “Life During Wartime Backstroke.”
Come on, man, get with it.
Hey, Veronica, you wanna go out sometime?
D$
Mr. Balls-
I completely agree that perfect grammar is unnecessary (mine is far from it). Accurate punctuation on the other hand is the cornerstone of any written medium. Without punctuation it’s nearly impossible to infer tone. Take these two sentences as examples:
1. You’re an asshole!
2. You’re an asshole?
In the first sentence I’m declaring emphatically that you are an asshole. In the second sentence I’m simply inquiring if you are one. See how big a difference punctuation makes? Truthfully I’m just busting your balls here. I don’t really think you’re an asshole, but I do believe that if a person wants to have their point taken seriously (especially in Veronica’s case where she’s going after someone on their own site) it’s important to make sure that point carries weight. Bad spelling and lack of punctuation makes a person come off as ignorant or juvenile and therefore less likely to be taken seriously. u No wAt i MeEen DaWg?
But kudos to you on seeing an opportunity with Veronica and going for it. Many great wars and fortunes begin by a man defending the honor of a women. Just makes sure to bring a lot of loot. I have a feeling she’s just a little high maintenance.
Wow, guess I hit a nerve!! There must of been a morsel of truth since so many people had to respond.
@ Zach you flithy red neck. I like to give a good rim job but keep the fact that you endorse incest to yourself. Just because you bang your sister (you trailer trash redneck) dosnt mean everyone is into banging a family member!
@ Stuart
Ive seen how you dress so you talking about luxury lables like you know anything about fashion has me near tears!
I actually view these bags as pieces of art. I work very hard and make a great deal of money. Sorry if Im not shopping at payless like your GF OH wait I mean BF no scratch that no homosexual would dress as badly as you do!
Im pretty confident in Old Navy or Stella McCartney so shows how judgemental you are throwing out stereo-types concerning women who like Fendi bags. Yeah I bought it to make me feel important OH wait I bought it because I like the style of it dumb ass. My email isnt listed douche so if you say it wont be published it shouldnt be put on blast. By the way, I wouldnt give you a rim job if yours was the last asshole on the planet.
@ Heather I walk past bitches like you waiting in line. 60 bucks to get in a club?? Wow you must be busted and know nothing about NYC nightlife where well dressed pretty girls like myself just strut by dykes like you.
Im not single you stupid vapid whore. Girls like me are seldom single but then again what would a flannel wearing hipster in doc martens know about that?
@ Dustiballs…..I think you sense my hotness since hot girls tend to be complete bitches because we can be and we get away with it. Sadly, I have 3 carat ring from Tiffanys on my finger so my dating days are over!
@ Heather ….. Wait your name if fucking heather who are you to say anything about my name. By the way, Heath I think Heath is better since you look like a man. Stop being so jealous of girls that are hotter than you are. Oh wait anyone is hotter than you are. You need to get laid.
@ Oliver…
Wait you wear your undies inside out and cut your milk with water. If that dosnt spell LOSER I dont know what does. I do read your stories and that fun tid bit had me gaging and not on a nice asshole.
@ Stuart Going on after someone on their on site??? Oh sit I specifically read Broke ass stuarts Goddam website. Isnt Oliver one of your poorly paid writer monkeys??? So unless you are going to re-name the site he’s just your flunky whore.
And finally thanks for the responses. Dont take yourselves too seriously guys. No one even responds to half the shit you guys write. The majority of your stories have ZERO comments hence no one is even moved enough to say shit a majority of the time. I suggest more people comment. I think I made your shitty story interesting because at least it got people talking. You can thank me later:)
Finally! Sorry if you guys only want to hear kiss ass comments but this is NYC. People tell what they think and don’t sugar coat it. Grow up and grow thicker skin. I could give two shits what people say about me. This dude pays $325 for rent? I had to say something about that. And by the way seriously maybe you should start posting free seminars on how to improve your finances and not be a broke ass. Call 311 in NYC and you can find out how to get your collective shit together and be paid well what ever your talent is. Everyone has one and cutting and pasting free shit to do all day seems to be aiming a bit low no?
Shout out to my baby! Get that fine ass out after talking to all these assholes Im ready to lick yours! YUM
@ Stuart…. Youve gotten pudgy its time to get in shape or pretty soon you wont be able to look down and see your dick. Where’s that somewhat cute guy that was on the book cover?
Okay Im off to Louis Vuitton to buy a cool bag which would cover 6 years worth of Olivers rent in order to validate my social standing and my existence who knew Stuart is also a psychologist. He is multi-talented!
What’s so bad about what veronica said? So what! Don’t make commenting an option if everyone who works for the site needs to jump in and defend a not so outrageous of a comment. I thought it was funny. I dont think she was going after the website. Good point veronica is it really Oliver’s website? No I dont think so
A garage parking spot in NYC goes for $600 a month so her question is a valid one. Also all she did was suggest that one get their shit together. Youre only young broke and beautiful for so long. youth and beauty fades then you just have broke. And when did stuart become part of the grammer police? Yikes! You say you write for busboys and poor folk most of them cant even read so what does he care about a left off question mark????????? I think she’s spunky and I like that!
I have a fendi bag. I think Stuart is being a bit out of line by saying she carries it to add to her social worth. Excuse me this is NYC the fashion capital of the world. Women here carry Gucci, Fendi, Prada on a regular basis. It has to do with love of fashion not self worth. I know guys who have emails like GO_redsox@…. does it mean they are equally obsessed? That just dosnt make any freaking sense at all. You are totally generalizing and that blows. Some guys get penal implants to feel better, or teeth whitening or a fast car that goes Vroom Vroom if she can afford it she should spend her money on what ever creams her twinkie. And why are you putting her email out there when if not for you we wouldnt even know what it is. You guys have a public website and freedom of speech should be encouraged. If you dont like it start a website for the FCC.
Cool
I cant decide who is more catty Veronica or these boys who write for the site. Calm down dudes! Shit I better watch my grammer lest stuart start dissing me as well.
I hear ya. Honestly, I got this link from my girl, also named Veronica.
I thought it was her making that comment and then I had to defend her honor (although it didnt really sound like something she would even waste her time commenting on). You described someone completely opposite of how my girl is too but I figured what the hell, let’s get into it.
Honestly, this Veronica sounds like a bitch which is the opposite of hot. In fact, I would have trouble speaking to someone with that sort of attitude for more than 10 seconds.
Veronica, I can almost guarantee your dating days wont be over for long. Divorce Statistics + Bitch = Divorce.
Plus, Im guessing this Broke-Ass site is similar to most which have to start by building a fan base before they can start charging money, getting ad revenue or hope to be bought out. At least the guy is trying something.
I think I just made flippy floppy, Im not sure though.
Ok, Stuart, after reading that last comment of Veronica’s, I take back my comment on punctuation and completely agree with your response. She does sound like a moron.
This Ain’t No Party.
Sweet I have a air tight prenup and get 3 mill either way so ha ha ha. At least Im up front about being a bitch. Your girl will rear her bitchy little head once you wed her (if you are even that committed) and she pops a kid or two.
Rich Moron thanks:)
I love to be hated. I really do:) You guys are so retarded you cant see what Im doing? this is too easy!
Dustiballs is your girlfriend Veronica into rimming or teabagging? How about a post about how to give a good rim job or tea bagging session. That should build a good fan base.
Id only pay for this if stuart got a webcam and inserts fruits into all of his orifices. That Id pay 19.95 a month to see
Cucumbers, bananas, eventually pineapples with the prickly outer shell. That would be just delightful.
hey veronica is my friend leaver alone!!
You’re pretty obsessed with the rim job topic. And, of course she is.
I like how you think you’re getting one over on all of us. We obviously know you are trying to get a reaction out of us. But, the fun for us is getting you to think you are getting one over on us when really you make yourself sound worse and worse.
Married a rich guy, huh? Go figure. I hope your husband likes you bragging about his hard earned money you plan on taking from him eventually. C U Next Time.
I dont think I am I know I am. All that time spent on lil ol’ me. He’s not a rich guy he’s super wealthy from OLD money. Rich guys in NYC are a dime a dozen anyone can make themselves rich in NYC if you are savy enough. Im new money and we all know we dont know how to act. His money wasnt hard earned it was inherited. So try again buddy. He never worked a hard day in his life that’s for busboys, musicians, artists and regular folk like you guys. He dosnt brag about his money when you are raised in a park avenue town house you dont brag because you are in a society where money is no object. You never answered my question is your GF into teabagging and rimming? You sound like you need to dip those balls into her mouth.
I want to dip my BALLS in it!
I want to dip my BALLS in it, also as well! Veronica, can we come over and dip our collective balls in your rich husbands sea of money? You said yourself it was old New York Money–its probably had plenty of balls dipped in it over the years!!!
Please say yes!
Then we’ll put on old time-y swimsuits and do the backstroke together through the piles of cash just like Scrooge McDuck.
Then we can go down to a restaurant and make fun of the kitchen staff for being too stupid to have arranged to be born into white, American wealth!
sound good? Let me know and I’ll call Archie and Jughead!
xoxo
If I dip my balls in something, can it not be a Fendi bag? Because even my balls at their crustiest-yet-sweatiest are more pleasant to look at than some of those wack-ass designs.
The concert was a great idea! its just that all of BK showed up.
Since when did this become about some chip and her Fendi bag? I bet she has a Fendi jumpsuit and nails to match.
Work that corner!
Oh Veronica, Veronica, Veronica. You’re so damn cute when you get all worked up. With all this kinky talk of rim jobs and money I almost thought we were on a different website for a second. Judging solely by your prolific posting, it appears that you, my dear, are the one who’s had a nerve struck. Then again maybe you’re just using this as an excuse to practice your typing skills. It seems to be working; you’ve managed to figure out not only where the question mark is on the keyboard, but where it goes in a sentence too!
Anyway, I’d like to clarify a few things for the record:
1. The comments on grammar and punctuation were merely meant to emphasize that, someone who is bragging about being college educated, seems like a twit if the sentence used for bragging looks like it was done by a teenager on a Sidekick.
2. @Veronica – throwing around homophobic slurs only serves to make you seem like even worse of a person than you’ve already come across as. Plus it weakens any point you’re trying to make. The fact that you’re more concerned with “stereo-types concerning women who like Fendi bags” than with things like human dignity and equality sickens me. And it further proves that you’re a fucking cunt.
3. Since Oliver is currently the editor of the NY part of this site and does as much work as I do, this site is just as much his as mine. None of us are making money doing this right now, not even me. Hence the reference.
4. @John David – There is nothing wrong with being broke. One of the things this site does is help foster the feeling that, no matter what you do or how much you make, you can have a fun and fulfilled existence. And saying that busboys and poor folk can’t read is supremely classist. Beyond that, people have the right to respond to comments just like they have the right to comment on posts. It’s what’s called the democratizing effect of the internet.
5. @Isabella – I entirely encourage freedom of speech. I don’t have to publish any of these comments, but I do because I believe people deserve their say. As for putting out her email address, I absolutely did not, nor would I ever. I simply mentioned that the word Fendi is contained in the address. There is literally an infinite amount of variations of email addresses that could contain the word Fendi.
6. As for material possessions acting as agents of increasing ones worth, you’ve got to be fucking kidding me if you don’t believe that! What do you think equity is in real estate? It’s the amount of worth derived from the possession of something material. Why do rich people act superior to poor people? Because they have more things that are worth more money! @Isabella – if you still don’t believe me, answer me this: how do you feel when you see a girl with a FAKE version of the REAL designer bag you have? That’s feeling is called superiority. Hence by feeling that way, you’re saying that, by owning a real designer bag, your social value is high than the girl with the FAKE one.
@misharney…. Just because your Ma wears acyrlic nails and your’e a trick baby dosnt mean everyone is. I know you know a lot about working corners because your mom is an older version of ashley dupre but be more settle about it
I mean subtle before that fag stuart starts in on me again
@Joe Rice….Why are you commenting on a purse???? Wack design maybe its not as stylish as your Banana Republic man purse but I like it
@ Ashley…..White American wealth….Im not even white you JAP
@ stuart…..Your girlfriend is a fucking cunt if you have one. And youre a load of cum your mom should have taken in the mouth and swallowed
@ Stuart…..some of my GAY friends call each other dyke and fag all the time…what you never heard a black person use the term Nigga? Please fuck off and get on a diet.
@ Ashley I only mean JAP in the nicest way possible. I went to school with Jewish American Princesses so I dont mean that in a disrespectful manner
As far as homophobic slurs ago that stupid whore Heather has to be a lesbian. A dyke is a boyish lesbian I dont remember that being a slur since I have soooo many gay friends who are women who say Oh she’s a dyke or a lipstick so get off your little soap box and hit the gym or bang that cunt of a gf (if you have one) more often since an hour of sex can burn up to 500 calories and you clearly need one. I see you didnt address your fast decline into fat assness
@ Stuart…. dont preach about homophobic slurs than call a girl a cunt. It diminishes the point you are trying to make what’s next calling women broads or skirts??? If Im a cunt so is every girl in your life mom aunts sisters etc… so dont take the high road then say things that would make any feminist cringe. Everytime a woman is outspoken she’s called a bitch or a cunt its soooo been done so just shut the fuck up
@ stuart….Now you know how Isabella feels when she spots a fake fendi. Add mind reader to your list of talents. Oh she feels superior how do you know how someone youve never met feels?????? Dion Warwick here
@ stuart didnt you come from a cunt? I think that’s called self-loathing.
@ Ashley… Dont make assumptions about race and money. Brown people can be weatlhy as well. Didnt you watch the cosby show??? Think of that just add millions of dollars
