Jerry Cantrell & Filter
Irving Plaza has been a New York City musical landmark since 1978. The 150 year old building, located in the Union Square neighborhood, offers a 1200 capacity ballroom style venue that mixes its original 19th century elements with modern amenities. There is a strict security policy here. I don’t bring bags to shows anymore which means my pockets are crammed with crap. I had to empty em and the contents were thoroughly inspected before I went through the metal detectors. If you’re planning a visit here, pack light.

Ace Frehley & Slaughter
The last time I saw Ace live was during KISS’s “Psycho Circus” tour and I ended up pregnant (not by him). Since this show only featured one member of KISS, I reduced my chances of repeating that scenario by seventy-five percent. Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil was originally scheduled to be the opener, but he canceled due to “a scheduling conflict” and was replaced by the band Slaughter. Neither option excited me very much. I’ve seen Vince live many times over the years and the last couple of appearances were lackluster. I had never seen Slaughter live, as I was never really big into them.
