Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly... Jelly Pool Parties.

jelly2010.jpgGothamist is reporting that our totally rawking Senator Schumer, with help from NYS Parks, Open Space Alliance, and other lesser, but no less hip, elected officials, are bringing back the uber-popular Jelly Pool Parties for the Summer of 2010 at the Williamsburg Waterfront.

Quoth the Senator:

"[The Jelly Pool Parties] are a big part of why summers in NYC... Summer in Brooklyn without the free JELLY Pool Parties simply would not have been the same and I am beyond thrilled to see that they will return in 2010. I can’t wait to ride my bike this summer to the East River State Park to rock out at these concerts once again.” If I cared enough to vote, that man would totally get mine; he clearly has a good head on his shoulders, even if I'm not sure what that first ellipsis is hiding.

The Jelly-pool-co-founding-power-duo Alexander Kane and Sarah Hooper heap on the praise for Senator Schumer: “We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to all parties involved including OSA and NYS Parks, but especially to our great Senator Chuck Schumer, who went above and beyond to see the free shows continue for a fifth straight year."

I'm sure everyone is anxious to start saving the dates of their fav shows (here's lookin' at you, Jay-Z), but y'all will have to stay patient- a schedule is forthcoming.

i got new sarcasm detector batteries, and reread your post, and oh, man, that was hilarious.

Gawker's Hipster of the Decade doesn't count

... the joke here being rooted in the fact that i vote ...

"If I cared enough to vote, I probably would, but since I'm likely a rootless private school yuppie with no real connection to the neighborhood or the city beyond ephemeral and ultimately meaningless pop-cultural detritus, hip bars, foodie fads, and shitty boring indie bands, I don't."

sometimes the internet requires a finely tuned sarcasm detector. i think yours needs a change of batteries.

if i cared enough to vote.

that pretty much sums up the neighborhood and this blog. and yes, CLEARLY, schumer has a good head on his shoulders. objective and reporting. two words to look up.
