ANOTHER CYCLIST SLAIN ON HOUSTON

Today's cover of amNY. More on bikeblog. Mollie and I in background.

DANCE OUR DREAMS DOWN THE RIVER PLEASE

Come dance with us onboard a World War II wooden Navy boat. DJs Filastine (Seattle), Dirty Fingers (Black Label), and Aliqua (Chicken Hut) spin booty bass, disco, and fucked up global hip hop. The Quivering Mass (Tianna Kennedy, Zeke Healey, and Hannah Marcus) belt out rare Alan Lomax sea shanties for land lubbers, and Marygoround (New Orleans) lights up eye-popping flaming hula hoops. Finish off a day’s drinking with cheap cocktails slung by the Miss Rockaway Armada crew, answering questions about the most ambitious project of the summer: piloting junk rafts down the Mississippi River. Raffle ticket packages available for the skeptics. Sunburns and tattered Mermaid Parade costumes welcome. The Empty Vessel 1st Street and the Gowanus Canal, Brooklyn F,G trains to Carroll, R train to Union 9p; $5 http://www.emptyvesselproject.org
