The Pool Parties at McCarren Park Pool: MGMT. and the Ting Tings
On Sundays, 2 pm starts a free concert outing in the soon-to-be refilled McCarren Park Pool. JellyNYC has done a truly impressive job of bringing in terrific acts, making them free and all ages, and then... adding Dodgeball.
We're jealous, we admit it. Particularly this week, when MGMT (who played our biggest show last year, and are awesome) and the Ting Tings (we wish! call us if you want to play!) will be there. If you are free Sunday, hope it doesn't rain and get over there... this is one great lineup.

Cool Event: The Mermaid Parade
Saturday June 21st at 2 pm.
This is an awesome excuse to get out to Coney Island. The parade has classic cars, homemade floats and costumes (amazingly creative) and give you a great excuse to head out to Nathan's Hot Dogs, the Cyclones, Astroland, and the beach.

Hardly anyone knows that a secret tunnel runs deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean. In May 2008, more than a century after it was begun, the tunnel has finally been completed. An extraordinary optical device called a Telectroscope has been installed at both ends which miraculously allows people to see right through the Earth from London to New York and vice versa.
