Most Crowded Pool Party Ever

Sunday's McCarren Park Pool Party was the scene to end all scenes. Seriously, the press line was down the block and from most accounts the regular line ended somewhere in Dumbo. Hipsters, twelve-year-olds, Kirsten Dunst--everyone and their mother was there. Even the rain couldn't stop the event from being filled to capacity.
The Ting Tings got the crowd jumping, causing even diehard concertgoers to throw their usual Williamsburg concert etiquette to the wind. Black Moth Super Rainbow, not so much. Then came the main event. MGMT played a solid set of cosmic Bowie-esque pop, which was appreciated by the hordes of latecomers standing dejectedly outside of the pool's fences.
Hopefully next week's free show with the Black Lips, Deerhunter and Tall Firs won't be such an overcrowded zoo. Also, hopefully I won't be hung over from free Dewar's when I write that day's post.
Plenty of photos after the jump ...
