ToddP's 2008 Annual Unamplified Acoustic BBQ - Postponed Due to Rain

Coming back to Roosevelt Island early yesterday afternoon I saw that ToddP's Annual Unamplified Acoustic BBQ had been postponed due to the predictions of a "gnarly" thunderstorm. The predictions turned out to be corect and the rains were a mess for a while.

UPDATE PICS of the EVENT

See the linked IMPOSE Magazine web page for pictures of those groups that attended the event.

There are a ton of bands playing throughout the day, including Aa, Pterodactyl, Stars Like Fleas...and on and on. B.Y.O.Brunch -- the music starts promptly at 11. More details here.

The park is right in the middle of the East River, the city and the river swirl serenely around you - you could throw rocks at the Midtown Skyline. And there's this ruined castle-like 1850's city smallpox hospital [ http://rihs.us/landmarks/renwick-1.jpg ] down there too (legendarily haunted). Take the F train all the way there (there's a "Roosevelt Island" stop), and bring your guitars & beach umbrellas & blankets & folding chairs & your beverages (IN A CUP, NO GLASS OR OPEN CONTAINERS) & your hibachis & charcoal & stuff to grill & whatnot.
