Tripple Gathering 2009

Andrew — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 23:15:30 +0000

I finally have some time to initiate a gathering of Tripplers. It looks like a good and appropriate time may be on Wednesday, February 25th at Metro 53, 307 E. 53rd St. The reason I say appropriate is because it also happens to be the night that The Bassenettes return to Manhattan after several years.

The band starts playing at 7:30 which is a little earlier than they used to start on Wednesday nights at the Tripple but we are all a little older now and probably appreciate the earlier start a little more. It gives us time to hang and chat before the music starts if we meet around 5-5:30pm.

Information on the place can be found at Metro 53. There is no cover charge and they have a kitchen. Yes, it is on the East Side and traditionally we have met on the West Side but maybe this will accomodate some of us better for once. Tell a friend and hopefully we will see you there.

Christmas in late July

Hello everyone. D. Cook is in town and we are having a hang for some Summer T.R.I.P. Fun. When: Tuesday July 29th. starting between 5 and 6pm. Where: The House of Brews on the south side of 51st street just West of 8th Avenue. I am sorry about the last minute notice but I had some technical difficulties and was unable to post until now. I made some frantic calls this weekend when I realized that the post did not make it to the front page but I can’t call everyone. Spread the word if you can and we hope to see you there.

Thanks,
Andrew

Happy New Year!

2008 is here and I think it is about time we get together to celebrate the last year and the one ahead of us. We wanted to organize something during the holidays but with the flu running around and general holiday madness it never materialized. Now that it is behind us maybe we can get a gathering into gear. I am going to suggest Friday the 18th. of January at “The House of Brews” at 302 51st Street just west of 8th Avenue (212-541-7080) starting between 5 and 6pm. The have around 80 different beers from around the world and they serve food. It is a nice space with room to hang by the upstairs bar.

There are a lot of Tripplers that have not registered for this site so they need a shout to find out about it. If you know of anyone that used to TRIP please give them a call and let them know. I hope to see as many of you as possible. I was unable to make it to last years holiday get together and I am sure some of you will not be able to make it this year but rest assured we will keep the Tripple Spirit alive in person or from afar.

Ideas anyone?

Well, The Bassenettes will no longer be playing at the A&M Roadhouse in downtown Manhattan. The owner is moving the club in a different musical direction. Now we have to find a new home in The Big Apple. If anyone has any suggestions about clubs/bars that would like to rock Bassenettes Style please let us know. It has gotten very difficult to find places that will take on live music these days. Unfortunately The Tripple was only one of many to vanish leaving a void in live entertainment especially in Midtown.

To the Circus we go

Our lovely Jennifer (she is the one on the left ) from the Tripple is now bartending at a pub called “Circus” on Tuesday and Thursday nights. I am not sure what time she starts so show up early and if she is not there yet gush to the working bartender about how wonderful she is. I have not been there yet but I hear good things. I encourage everyone to drop by, say hello and buy a bunch of drinks! It is located on 9th Avenue between 43rd and 44th Street.
