Pick up a copy of The Village Voice(which is free) or Time Out New York for listings, or those free papers (Metro or AM New York, they have some good listings). Also, forget about hanging out in the Meadowlands, there is nothing there.
Cheers and have fun.
Yeah, CBGB's is definitely on the to-do list. I figure, I better go before it's gone. Thanks for the great tips. I am so thoroughly stoked about that weekend, that I can't even explain it. I love big cities so much, and NYC is the biggest of them all. There's an infinity to see, so we'll try and limit our sights as best we can. I really just want to see the New York that the locals see.

Porcupine Tree? No fucking shit! I saw them last September here in Atlanta, and I was absolutely blown away (to be completely cliche). I saw them live only about 2 weeks after I was introduced to them. I bought In Absentia at the show, and it is now one of my top 5 favorite albums. Thanks for the heads-up. I'm going right over to their website to see if they'll be nearby Atlanta.

Cheers,
Devin

UPDATE: Fuck!! Why do PT have to be playing the same night as Tool? If they were doing a late show at the Nokia Theater, I could rush over and see them. With a 9pm ticket time, it seems unlikely. The support act is ProjecKt Six. The Theater's website say 8pm and Ticketmaster says 9pm. This tealls me that Porcupine Tree will go on at 9pm. Is anyone familiar with this venue? Does my assumption seem accurate?
