As you already know, we had an AWESOME time at McCarren Pool this summer playing Dodgeball, getting sunburned, listening to some effing rad bands and, of course, enjoying a few foam dogs [translation: beer].Here’s a video we collaborated with Good Magazine on as part of their Wild Frontier of Sports series that highlights some of this summer’s stars.

Great last weekend at McCarren Park Pool with great news to boot!
WE SHALL RETURN!
Next year, Brooklyn will not be dodgeball free.
Jelly NYC is confident they will be returning, with the addition of even more cities.
Stay tuned for more news.
I also encourage everyone to visit www.bkdball.com to stay up to date.
Come out and join us this Fall for “off-season” dodgeball each Sunday from 2pm - 5pm in McCarren Park at the handball court between the track and the dog run.
See you there.
“If you got the guts, we got the balls”

This past week was amazing. Aesop Rock was on point.
Sean’s photos are incredible.
Jelmer and Brandon were great as matching Olympic swimmers.
We had some special guests from northern California including the captain of the UCLA water polo team. Man, that kid had an arm.
This week is going to be the best ever. It has to be because it’s the last week ever!
BE THERE! YO LA TENGO!
Super Hero costumes encouraged, but you must have the courage to back them up on the court.
I urge everyone to check out http://www.bkdball.com/dball.html and keep up to date.

Well, we had yet another rain filled Sunday at McCarren Park Pool but as always we still had a blast.

Cub Scouts represented and played even better than the Care Bears at times.

The line up was cut at the last minute from 4 bands to 3 due to a travel issue, but the three that played were good. I can always relate to the lyrics “I put some whiskey, in my whiskey”.
Some of the females that played dogeball this Sunday were the hottest of the summer and according to that female vote Ben H@ynes wins hottest male.

This next weekend is going to be huge.

The only Hip Hop line up of the summer rolls through featuring AESOP ROCK!
See you there.

This just in– the last and best pool party of all time has been announced. I know, I know– Black Lips + Deerhunter + King Khan was awesome and what could be better than that?

I’ll tell you what!

YO LA TENGO + TITUS ANDRONICUS

That’s right. I know. Really. Sweet.

I’m obliged to tell you that yes, we’ll be playing dodgeball and giving away free shoes. But as awesome as that is, even if you HATE Dodgeball and DESPISE free shoes, you should come to this because

a) it’s the last McCarren Pool Party EVER

b) it’s going to fun, regardless of its “last ever one of these so I gotta go one last time before it’s over and I can’t go anymore” status.

Doors/Dodgeball at 2:00 PM
