Pool Parties at the Williambsburg Waterfront. Dirty Projectors do the 1st of Many.
July 22, 2009Sunday I went to the Dirty Projector’s show at the Williamsburg waterfront’s “Pool Parties.” The name “Pool Party” may be minorly deceiving to those of us who came equipped wearing bathing suits and swimmies, but the party was defanatley on. There are so many great things about this thing. First- off it’s FREE! Secondly, they have an awesome lineup that includes Girl- Talk and Grizzly Bear (who’s playing on my birthday). After you get over the great free concerts, you also can factor in the fact that the bands play with a background of the Manhattan Skyline. It’s not only beautiful, but from a Brooklyn-er’s perspective it’s a wonderful slap in the face saying Manhattan could never touch this!
There’s also great places to relax and tan on the grass if you’re into that sort of thing, designated dogeball and baskctball courts that hold endless tournaments during the event and beer tents (pricey, but affordable given the fact that you didn’t have to pay for the show). Check out some photos from Sunday’s Concert of the Dirty Projectors:
