What the fx up this weekend?

As the title that I stole from those Truth commercial says, what's going on this weekend.

Saturday August 4th, 2k7
Live at the BBQ presented by Zune [3pm-10 pm]
It's just a HUGE bbq with some familiar artists such as Brand Nubian, Cham, Large Professor, Clipse, MIMS, Joell Ortiz and many more. If hip-hop's not your thing then go for the food, that's definitely the main reason for going to this thing. It's the last of their summer series, so remember kids you have to go back to your institution of higher learning pretty soon.First off, you need a ticket if you're interested in guaranteed entry, because according to them it will sell out quicker than the one in Chicago which I guess sold pretty quick? As for location as of now it's still to be determined......... So either do a google search every five minutes or maybe you'll see it here. Oh yeah there will be tons of Zune merch there, but hold out on buying a Zune just for now because i hear they're making another one, let's hope they're not like Apple who makes a new one every 5 months but it ends up being the same thing.
EDIT: If you look on your ticket you'll see the location, DUMBO,Brooklyn. And tickets are sold out, so if you wanted to go and didn't get a ticket sucks for you. Also you need an I.D to enter and if you have anyone under the age of 15 with you, they need a ticket plus a legal guardian or parent.

Mccaren Park Pool [2pm - ??]
CURATED BY
Pop Montreal and Noise Pop Festival
Blonde Redhead
I'm From Barcelona
The Coydogs
The Rub DJ
Anyways, I'm not interested in any of these bands, never cared to do a google or myspace search, so are they any good, I really don't know, but it's free so I just slapped it up there. RSVP just in case at going.com, TVOTR got pretty crowded and they actually closed the RSVP line, will this happen to these random people, I doubt it.
EDIT: Apparently the RSVP line is closed once again, my mistake Blonde Redhead is actually quite well known, whoops. I didn't want to see them so oh well.

Big up to Chad, Happy Birthday. Yolene good luck on the interview.
P.S. - Yolene I know you're going to read this and say to yourself, she didn't big me up for my birthday, but i didn't because we didn't post on your birthday. So do! nu badda cuss mi off.
-Yulan
