If anyone is in NYC this Sunday, Johan Kugelberg is doing a pop up show of "BAFFLING Velvet Underground ephemera pre-Café Bizarre" on Ludlow Street. Alas, I will not be in town, i wish i could see it. Here are a couple of instagram posts about it.

If anyone's going to this and can capture any of the content, please let me know - I'm hoping to do a significant project on that period of the VU, fingers crossed.

Re: BAFFLING Velvet Underground ephemera pre-Café Bizarre
I took some pretty bad snapshots (glare from the glass, etc.)
I somehow missed a couple of things.
I'm including the list of all that was there

Thanks so much!
The 28th May 65 Dream weapon poster - do you happen to remember if it was this one?
That's the one shown on Olivier's date with the same date, but that seems to be a mistake as it's pretty clearly labelled 2nd-7th Nov. Which would fit with them apparently being billed as the Velvets at this, whereas other fliers have them playing as The Falling Spikes as late as August...

I was not there but I believe the flyer is an earlier version that is dated May 28 and has 85 E. 4th as the address. Needs further investigation!
Re: BAFFLING Velvet Underground ephemera pre-Café Bizarre
Ah, that's interesting. It does look like the image I posted has bits scribbled out. Can anyone confirm?

It was in the pop up show, not sure why I didn't take a pic.
I don't recall there being any scribblings in the margins.
There is a partial pic of it on Johan Kugelberg's IG.
msatlof, you are correct - this was the original flyer (May 28), they repurposed it for that November flyer.

Great - thank you.
The other question, then, is whether the mention of the Velvets on the other side of that poster was contemporaneous with the May 1965 event, or a note made later. Probably impossible to know.
