PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE JellyNYC readers and McCarren Park Pool Party Fans,
Read over and sign our petition urging the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation to provide a space at the Proposed Bushwick Inlet Park to continue hosting our shows. As you probably know, this is the last year McCarren Park Pool will be available to host the Pool Parties, but we were thinking of maybe, you know, keeping the party going.
Please forward this link along to everyone you know who’s been enjoying the shows for the last three summers, and help us bring them back for many more!

We couldn’t go any longer having ‘Secret Guests’ lingering over in the sidebar to your right. We are not fans of the acronym ‘TBA’. We just do not like holding all this exciting information we have from you!
So here it is! It’s time to announce that The Breeders will be playing the July 13th Pool Party alongside Matt & Kim and The Whip! And we are so very excited to have them right before they leave for their worldwide tour!
We also got Franki Chan, owner of IHEARTCOMIX to DJ the whole party.
And let me say/remind you of this:
Ever since I started running the blog over here at JellyNYC, people have been asking me, “Hey man, can you get me into these shows? Maybe slide me onto the G-list, bro?”
Well guess what fellas and ladies, THESE SHOWS ARE FREE. This is top-notch entertainment for the most toppest notch of prices; ZERO DOLLARS. I’d love to play it cool and act like I could HOOK YOU UP FAT (are the kids saying that these days?), but you’re gonna find out sooner or later: WE ARE COVER CHARGE-LESS AS ALWAYS!
If you don’t already know, the $50 million McCarren Park pool renovation is drawing close, which means this is the last summer it will be available for the Pool Parties. But wouldn’t it be sweet if there was concert space planned into the building of the new 28-acre Bushwick Inlet Park by the waterfront?? If you think so, PLEASE GET INVOLVED and let’s make this happen.
There is a Friends of Bushwick Inlet Park Meeting you can attend:
Monday, June 9th @ 7pm / Diamond Bar / 43 Franklin St @ Cayler
This will be the first working meeting for the group, and they have some serious goals! Friends of BIP plans on creating a website and forming committees ASAP in order to monitor issues associated with the building of the park as well as holding the City and Parks Department accountable for its creation.
You need absolutely zero experience to attend the meeting and/or join the Friends of Bushwick Inlet Park Committee. To stay informed about the issues with the new park, and to learn how to push and assist the City throughout its progress, please come on June 9th!! Make sure your free summer concerts continue!!
