Gowanus: June 2006 Archives

For those worried about the Mermaid Parade being a little too wet on this soggy Saturday (or if you're saving your weekend subway energy  for Pride tomorrow), a closer alternative is the Miss Rockaway Boat Party on the Gowanus. Hard to tell if the World War II navy boat will provide much shelter from the rain, but it might at least be a shorter trip to a local bar in case of torrential outbursts. DJ sets are listed as "booty bass, disco, and fucked up global hip hop," and a performance of Alan Lomax sea shanties should complete the appropriate Noah's ark vibe.
