Green Day Would Like To Know Your Enemy… For Market-Research Purposes

10673_1241569037Green Day’s May 20 show in New York City will be at a new venue called the PC Richard Theater, a new venue downtown that bills itself as “the new live performance home for Clear Channel Radio” in New York City.

  1. Trying to figure out where this joint is (32 Avenue of the Americas). Is it new construction? Google Maps make it seem like it’s where the old Screening Room was, but if it’s big enough to host a Green Day concert, it’s gotta be bigger than that.

  2. Eh, I just got myself a ticket for the Webster Hall show the night before and I’m calling it a day at that.
