Tonight! BRING IT ON

19 Jul

Spirit fingers, everyone! Let’s BRING IT ON!

Kirsten Dunst and Gabrielle Union star in this comedy about the perils of cheerleading and coming of age. But really, it’s just good fun — and is one of the few times K.D. actually looks alive and coherent in a film role. (As my friend Stacy says: She couldn’t express falling if you shoved her off the club. But whatev, it’s perfect entertainment for a hot night on the pier.)

The evening’s sponsors are The Good Fork and Red Hook Bait and Tackle. It takes two to bring you a movie of this magnitude! The question is, who are the Toros and who are Clovers?

The Good Fork will be serving TACOS at the pier, so come early and come hungry.

Plus, we’ll have fresh popcorn from Home/Made for $1. Mmmmm.

And here’s Ben and Sohui doing their best Bring It On impression!

Tacos, Good Fork-Style!

Photos: Jaws!

5 Aug

More great photos by Allison Hull. (Thanks, Allison!) To see the whole reel, visit the Flickr page.

We had a huge turnout — pushing 300 people — for Jaws, and the most amazing weather and sunset. Plus, Ethan on his Shark Bike was a hit. (I’ve heard requests for a mermaid-themed bike for Splash.)

It couldn’t have been a more perfect setting for all of us first-timers to Jaws.

A special thanks to our evening’s sponsor, the Bait and Tackle, for making this all possible.

Tonight: JAWS

3 Aug

Turns out, this is “Shark Week” on the Discovery Channel. Well, there will also be sharks at Valentino Pier. JAWS is finally here.

JAWS turns 35 this year, and we’re ready to celebrate on Tues., Aug. 3.

Come early to get a picnic spot (this promises to be busy!); film will start around 8:30 p.m.

AFTER PARTY: Bait and Tackle, the evening’s sponsor, will be hosting a post-JAWS after party. Get your $1 drink ticket at the movie and then head down to the bar and share a round with fellow JAWS fanatics. There will also be $4 pints of Stella and fish-themed snacks (gummy sharks, gold fish, Swedish fish).

BOOZE: Alcohol is illegal in New York City parks, and the local cops are threatening come by this week and ticket for open containers. Fair warning.
