Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions about Terry Jinn's Enormous Television

(happening Friday, May 11th, at 9pm at Downtime, 251 W 30th St [between 7th & 8th Avenues])

-----

Q: "I noticed you have a $10 cover charge. Now, I don't think of myself as a cheapskate, but that seems awfully pricey. And, besides, where will that money go?" -A.J., Nutley, NJ

A: The $10 cover was mandated by the venue, as this is a real (open to all) rock show (and not a private party) and we have been given a generous 2.5 hour time slot. Part of the money goes to the venue, then part of the money goes to pay expenses, and then the rest goes to the performers. Any extra money goes to the Starlight Foundation. Or something like that. By the way, you clearly are, a cheapskate...so start thinking of yourself as one.

Q: "Are all of these people listed singing together for 2 hours...like a really long 'We are the World' or something? That could be a fatiguing, cacophonous mess, don't you think?" -A.J., Montclair, NJ

A: For the most part, most of the people listed are singing their own songs. They've been practicing for a couple months now, so they're damn good. Thankfully, nobody will be singing "We are the World." Someone, however, will be singing a choice Neil Diamond hit. That someone will probably be your next spiritual guru. Before that happens, you can say you saw that person light up the sky with exquisite, gossamer tones that glistened like dew on a crisp spring morning, and that absolutely you'd kill for them if that's what would get you closer to "Yahweh."

Q: "Can I bring anyone I want to this thing?" -A.J., Passaic, NJ

A: No! Please! Don't bring dumb people, or people who are mean drunks, or people who really dig short-form improv, or people who ironically have a t-shirt with the "Atari" logo on it, or people who have cheese with their apple pie, or people who have "magnetic poetry" on their refrigerators, or people who talk about their "corn poo" as an endearing anecdote, or people who say "I love the movie Showgirls because it's so 'over the top'!", or people who enjoy "macrobiotic cuisine", or people who say "pig pile" instead of "dog pile." Oh...for fooks sake, bring all those people too.

Q: "Who the hell are you?" -A.J., Teaneck, NJ

A: Listen. You know what? Why is that important? What's important is that I'm no fibber! The really important thing here is...Owen Burke is going to do a slow, smoldering blues influenced ditty about a his love for a big-legged woman. Most would pay 50 to 53 dollars or less to see that.

Q: "Is this some kind of joke? After many of the previous plans that involved Andrew Secunda turned out to be either hoaxes or jokes, or just plain disappointing, I am wary of committing time and money into such a venture." -T.J., Brooklyn, NY

A: This is no joke, "T.J." Trust me. Secunda can't ruin everything. Can he?

not too much longer!

Of course, you all realize I'm writing this 'reply' to the original post to move the show information to the top of the list. Is this unethical?

After careful consideration...I have to say... No. I don't think so.

Ethics

Is it wrong for me to state, as an impartial observer, that Terry Jinn is one of the most giving people anywhere anytime.

The fact that he is doing this show (at great personal risk) for his friends to perform and view, this is selfless.

The fact that his name is on the show is testament to this: The words Terry Jinn make us laugh. Dr. Jinn!

Am I an impartial observer if I am in fact Terry Jinn's friend, and-- further-- a participant in said shindig?

Are you, if you come?

These questions and many others will be summarily forgotten as we attempt to corrupt the youth this Friday the 11th with this very old guy named Terry Jinn.

FYI

Some people I've talked to have mistakenly thought that this whole event was a "party," rather than a "show."

In actuality, it is truly a rock concert...with a running order and all that...so, please come at the 9pm start time so you don't miss any of the great performers who are scheduled to hit the stage at the top of the show. This goes special for you Chris Fosdick and Katty Biscone fans!

-Terry
