Every year, on the eve of December 31, hundreds of thousands of people gather in New York City's Times Square in the hopes that they might see a free OK Go concert. It's an awesome spectacle: a vast throng gathered in giddy anticipation, men women and children bound together by their single collective wish.
This year, for the first time ever, OK Go will grant the people that wish. At 11:16, the foursome will take stage on the roof of the Times Square Olive Garden to play a trio of songs for the assembled mob four stories below. There will be pyrotechnics, tv screens the size of football fields, and (I am not lying) two nu-metal bands playing earlier in the night, POD and Puddle Of Mudd.
The event will be televised, and covered by several networks. ESPN plans to air at least one OK Go song, to be shown sometime between 10:00pm and 2:00am, and ABC, MSN, and Jimmy Kimmel Live will all be taping, though none
of them have released their schedules, yet.
So if you are in NYC, come see OK Go's 10 minutes of glory, and if you are not, get your TIVO running now.
Happy new year. Peace and prosperity to all. We'll see you in 2006.
Love,
OK Go

sweet mary jane BEST GIG EVER
However, I shall be partying it up elsewhere.
Worry not OK Go (I know you were, you can all release your collective breaths), I'll save all my energy for partying it up Xh-coreX style at Toad's Place.
ha, have you seen Michigan?
If you like a lot of corn and sugar beet fields, then Michigan is the place for you.
which parents are we talking about?
Agreed. Our Tivo died the day after Christmas, but it's now back up and running. It NEEDS something to record now!
Not Dave and Darbie. My adopted parents. The stupid bipolar people I live with...
HELL YES!!! connecticut will rock new york!
...well, scratch that...ct never rocks anything. but it will when ok go gets there! WOOHOOO!!!!

Hahha. That's so true. All we have are some deer and (by association) lots o' lyme disease.
However, when it comes to rockin' Ok Go, THAT we pwn. Yes. I said it, "pwn."
Oh, once you're past St. Clair county it's pretty much fields of various plants. Then once you're past Saginaw it's nothing but trees and hills. And it gets worse as you head farther north.
OK Go should challenge POD and Puddle of Mudd to a yo' momma contest followed by extreme mud wrestling.
I'd stay home to watch that.
I do live in Jersey and my friend was like, let's go to the City this year!!!
But we decided not to because 1) it's raining and snowing and 2) my other friend just had her tonsils out and we can't leave her alone.
But guts guts guts (I need to stop saying that all the time...), I want to see OK Go in Times Square...
