If you have any energy left, you can check out FMLY‘s $6 post-CMJ party, fucking party (peace out cmj) @ Shea Stadium
And it seems obvious, but I feel like I should say all this info is subject to change (in fact it may already be outdated).
You should probably also check out the official CMJ Survival Guide… here.
Finally, a little online publication called Pitchfork (maybe you have heard of it) is having what is either a massive unofficial CMJ showcase or their own separate music festival at Brooklyn Bowl from the 21st to the 23rd of October. It is called the #OfflineFestival. Get the deets here, here, and here.
