Dredg / Salman Rushdie in NYC
It's one thing to read someone's work; it's another to hear them read it to you. Likewise, it's one thing to hear music through your headphones, or even to see the band play it live; it's another to see and hear it in such an intimate setting.
That was a truly inspirational experience.
Did anyone else make it?

I personally only have 2 videos - they were kind of strict(ish) about flash photography and recording but I couldn't help myself.
From what I remember, they opened with Pariah - then played Information, Cartoon Showroom, The Ornament & I wanna say I might be missing one other. It was truly a short set. -

Admittedly I'm jealous of you and people who participated to this significant event! The ornament song.. is just adorable...
Besides setlist, what did they mention about mostly? -

Amazing ...
Really, thanks for sharing the video. I would have loved to have been there, but the distance was simply much too far. -

Rushdie read some passages from one of his books, I don't remember the name. Once he finished that Dredg joined him on stage. Then he read his essay to the 6 billionth person. Near the end Dredg played Stamp Of Origin: Horizon as background music to Rushdie's reading.
Upon completion he left the stage and Dredg played 5 songs:
Pariah
Lightswitch
Ornament (Full version with complete lyrics)
Information
Cartoon Showroom
After Dredg played Rushdie came back on stage and there was a Q&A session. A bunch of people left before this part which I couldn't understand. It was really interesting and Dredg mentioned that they're hoping to do some full album shows on the east coast - or possibly even do a tour where they play albums from beginning to end. Finally everyone moved to a merch table area where you could buy books/posters and have them signed. I left at this point so I don't know how that went.
Spin magazine was recording the whole thing and I think they'll be putting it on their website. Additionally they said to check today because they would have a contest where you can win an acoustic guitar signed by all of Dredg and Rushdie. -

I went, we drove from Boston (well a little south of Boston) the set was short but I'm so happy to have been there for this one time event. My friends and I got to meet the whole band and Salman Rushdie we got even hang out with Drew for a few after the show, He is such a cool guy. I can't wait till they come back to the east coast and really hope they will do a show where they play a complete album.

That's cool - I thought I was the shit for taking a picture! haha Seriously I was shaking even doing that, I'd never have the courage to spend time with them. I'd have diarrhea mouth and sound like a pre-teen...ah well. I definitely think the Housing Works night made up for how the West Coast got spoiled having all of Leitmotif & El Cielo (I believe) played from beginning to end. There's just not enough dredg time to go around! :) -

Nah haha they seem like they are always down to hang out and shoot the shit after shows and stuff. Don't be shy. Pretty down to Earth guys. I met Gavin after a show once, he seemed in no hurry to go anywhere. I rarely actually hang out, I mean I would imagine they have things they want to do too haha but it's still a cool notion.
I've met a bunch of cool people in my life, now that I think of it, and I never really allowed that kind of thing to be anything unusual in my head. But to anyone else that was there...
SALMAN RUSHDIE. I couldn't help but feel star struck. What a credit to our species. Seriously, right?
P.S. hahaha little known fact: "diarrhea of the mouth" actually has it's own word, logorrhea. Now instead of having people instantly imagining a brown discharge oozing from your face, they will go "Logorrhea, what does that mean? MY GOD YOU'RE SURELY THE SMARTEST PERSON ALIVE!" which has a much better effect on your self-esteem. -
