I require assistance from people who go see live music ever, which is more often than me. I'm going to this tonight, and I want to make sure I'm decoding all the information correctly.

1. It says on another page that 7 is the door time, so does that mean it'll actually (probably) start around 8? Or later? I'm by myself so I feel no need to spend any time leaning against a wall awkwardly drinking and waiting.

2. The "plus [band names]" mean those two groups come on first, right? I'm not super fussed about missing them.

Basically I just way overtired myself today, and there is no fucking way I can be there before 8:30 at the earliest. I already bought a ticket online so I don't need to worry about that. Unless...I do?

Ughhhh, I need to take it way easier tomorrow. I keep forgetting that walking is actually hard for me, and it is SO HOT. Also the subway is thwarting my every move on this trip--it kept me from entering the Book of Mormon lottery for today's matinee when it suddenly went express due to a mystery incident, and the line I use most will be shut down at 10 pm Sunday through Thursday next week. And there's some shit going on this weekend with it too that I'm STILL not sure what it is.

Yes, door time is when they actually start allowing people in.

I did a little more digging, and this looks like some actual times: http://www.cbgb.com/music.php?p=m&bid=46

JD Samson & MEN, PS I Love You, So So Glos
JD Samson & MEN - 9:30PM
PS I Love You - 8:30PM
So So Glos - 7:30PM

So they're going to give a half-hour for people to get settled, and then start with the first opening band. You'll probably want to arrive before 9:30 when your band actually comes on, to give yourself some time to get settled into a good position where you can see the band without too many people's elbows and heads.

thank you! this was useful.

You're welcome. I hope you had fun!
