It's been a very eventful weekend. The most interesting part is that the weather man has been wrong in our favor. Don't that we didn't have some rain but not a long and not any yesterday from open to close...
That doesn't mean there still isn't some on the way... Although we are about to open up for Sunday there is still the threat of some mid day thunderstorms… it's also Sunny and 75 degrees warm!
Yesterday we put up the Western and Northern side walls of our Tent.. so we are, more than ever, ready to weather any storm...
Yesterday was small fry compared to our more "busy" Saturday’s in the "heat' of the summer… but it was notable. We had many people who came after 10pm to hear and dance to our DJ. Included in that group was Jon and Mark from Pukka; it was nice to see them hang out w/ out having to "spin."
Of course they will be here in a few hours to spin the afternoon and night away!

the near–mythical Water Taxi Beach
Just discovered a really nice write up about us and a visit to NYC focused mostly on the outer B's then Manhattan..
"...Then it was Sunday, bright and shining, and the non–dietary goal of my visit was at hand. The MTA's line 7 trundled westwards towards Manhattan but I got off at Long Island City for the walk to the near–mythical Water Taxi Beach. It was everything I'd dreamed – ratlands, etc..."
I'm hoping that ref to ratlands is a good things...

ReBound This Week!
Rebound: A weekly party at Water Taxi Beach in Long Island City
this week
Negroclash
with
a)ex O_
and your semi-regular beach bunnies
Justin Carter and DJ Probus (Nublu)
Three DJs make up Negroclash: DJ Lindsey relentlessly represents, DJ Language couldn't work harder, and Duane, an Other Music store floor-osopher, is the best-kept secret in the record business. As a team, their mixing makes you want to break into applause. A brilliant blend of phuture funk and cosmic crunk propels the party here, brimming with hooks, hops, and hits. Principals like Cat Stevens, Frankie Knuckles, and Jellybean all show up, as do cuts from the Pointer Sisters and MAW, but the juiciest string comes when "Automatic" turns into Toney Lee, folding into In Deep, and winding up with Phil Asher's break-up jam "Having Your Fun." As the 75-minute arc soars, the floor goes with it.
Although his musical career started with playing the piano in grade school, a)ex O.’s real passion began several years later when he was exposed to the rave scene in Colorado. With his roots in deep soul music, it’s no surprise that his first encounters with House music created a lasting & powerful impression. Diving into his passion for the dancefloor and funky 4-to-the-floor beats, a)ex jumped behind turntables of his own and has never looked back.
Probus and Justin Carter, residents from Nublu, start off the evening with sounds from punk funk to techno.
A live mix from DJ Lindsey: http://ps1.el.net/web/archive/metafiles/m3u/sbmwup05_lindsey_081305.m3u

Busy Summer
Wow,
It's been such a busy summer I haven't had much of a chance to Blog... but here is a bit of a round up..
6 mentions this summer in the NY Times, plus 4 weeks in a row in Time Out Mag, and lots of other TV and print coverage has started to actually put us on the Map. A burger event with Gothamist/A Hamburger Today and a kids breakfast and Rock Out Concert with TONY Kids were the too big highlights..
Check out this video link about us and some other night spots..
ReBound, our party on Saturday Night has also been a big hit.. We can't mention the party in LIC that gets you all WARM before you come over to cool down at ReBound.. but with the 4k to 7k people who attend that day time party checking out the modern art and so forth it's been really easy to get lots of people to check us out. Doug Singer has been doing a great job putting together a hot world class list of DJs and every one has been totally chill. Hangout music til 11pm and then it really kicks in.. We serve until 3am on Saturday..
