Well, next time you’re dicking around checking if your ex-dude-or-girlfriend is still listed as ’single’, maybe stop by and add The Pool Parties new Myspace page:
We promise to stay single all summer. Promise us a couple Zimas, write an alluring comment or two, and you might just take our whole staff home.
After you friend us on the Internet, become our real-life friends, too!
Come hang out with us this Sunday. We were thinking McCarren Park Pool, around 2pm. We’ll be there, and so will our friends Ronnie Spector and The Rabbit Factory Soul Revue. You have to pay zero monies to hang with us.
How was your weekend? No matter what the answer is, I can guarantee this - THIS NEXT ONE IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH BETTER! We’re counting down to Sunday, when The Hold Steady, The Loved Ones, and J Roddy & the Business are kicking off the summer for-realsies at the first Pool Party of the summer!
Tom might actually be a little too excited. He’s been having nightmares:
Not sure if you knew, but A LOT goes into planning these Pool Parties. We thought we’d give you a peek at a typical JellyNYC board meeting. Watch how we get things done, like get you free wifi at McCarren Park Pool:
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!
So we at JellyNYC were sitting around thinking. We were thinking that July 20, 2008 was shaping up to be a pretty sweet Sunday. The Liars, Fuck Buttons, and Team Robespierre will most definitely make for a great summer Pool Party.
But what could we add to tie everything together? What is this Pool Party missing?
Wait, did someone say Pool PARTY!?
PPPPAAAARRRRTTTTYYYY!?
Then a big brick hit us in the face!
Why don’t we get the biggest party-pants of them all to DJ throughout the whole shebang?
BRILLIANT IDEA, JELLYNYC!
So that’s what we’re doing.
Enter everyone’s best friend in the whole world, guaranteed to keep you partying ’til you’re puking, ANDREW WK!!!
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!!
We’re all on Myspace, right?
