doing stuff

I hope some of you managed to make it out to last weeks events. Here is this weeks line up.
Hope to see you out.

Thursday, July 17

DJ Shadow &  Cut Chemist present 

The Hard Sell

Two amazing hip hop turntablists from the West coast come together

to preform their mixtape "The Hard Sell".  Cut Chemist, formally from 

Jurassic 5 and DJ Shadow who brought us the amazing score to "Dark 

Days", which as far as I am concerned is mandatory viewing (along with 

Scratch). Will turn the pool into a sweaty mix drink (Caparenia's anyone?) 

with their concoction of hip, hop, jazz, funk bossa nova and ambient sounds. 

McCarren Park Pool $35

(not free but it you sit on the swings in the park adjacent you can hear ok)
