Brooklyn Beauties

You Gotta Spend Some Time, Kids. You Gotta Spend Some Time, With Me...I Will Possess Your Park

So coming up on our heels is June 10th, which is the day that Death Cab for Cutie is playing McCarren Park Pool, along with Rogue Wave, but thats another blog. Anyways, I'm sure most of you are jamming to Narrow Stairs on your 8 gb iphone, or Zune, and you've been leaving lipstick marks all over that poster of Ben Gibbard next to your bed, and you paid your hard earned cash on tickets to get into the pool and throw your undies on stage just as they strike up the notes to "We Looked Like Giants." But oh no-not me.
One of my all-time favorite Greenpoint past times is grab a friend, a soccer ball sometimes, some chicken from Palace Fried Chicken on Nassau and Manhattan Avenue, and a forty or pepsi bottle half full of rum and head down to the kids park in McCarren Park and set up camp. Some of my best summer memories are from awesome concerts I saw for free and probably having a better time than some of those General Admission-ers on the inside.
Although I hope more people attempt to make memories on the outskirts of the park this summer, just make sure you don't ruin it for the rest of us! The po-po is always out looking for hooligans so keep it concealed, friends!
In case you are on the fence about Narrow Stairs, perhaps this beauty from the borough of Brooklyn can help you see the subtle nuances. Thanks Taylor!
