Welcome! Welcome! Please, Come In, Sit Down! Pants Are Optional!

The required bribes have been received by the authorities and landlords, the soon-to-be-broken promises to the musicians have been made and incredibly enough, a blogger has been found. All of this means the first Bushwick Rooftop Festival is a go! For those of you not in the know, Brooklyn's best handsomest hardest working DJ, DJ Bird Dog, has rounded up a damn fine bunch of musicians to play for free, this Memorial Day weekend, for you lovely people. All you have to do is show up. And maybe be drunk. It always helps to be drunk.

"But wait," you're thinking to yourself, "I go to rooftop parties in Bushwick all the time. Who are these pissants to call their party THE Bushwick Rooftop Festival?" While your concern is appreciated, I can promise you that this is like no other rooftop party you've ever attended. Furthermore, this festival will be so good it will erase from history every other party thrown on a roof in Bushwick. Wait for May 31st and and then check your Flickr accounts and Facebook profiles. The pictures from those other parties will no longer exist. There will be, however, pictures of you having terrific amounts of fun with a whole bunch of your new best friends. "Is a mass memory wipe that safe?" Our tech guy assures us there's only a thirty percent chance everyone wakes up screaming with no memories of anything, but Bird Dog likes those odds, so I do too.

"What will I find on this blog?" What are you, the question police? Fine, I'll tell you. There'll be band profiles, some stuff about the patient souls working the festival, lots of convincing reasons for you to spend the weekend with us and exclusive Justin Beiber news a bunch of other things probably. I'm gonna admit it's not like we put ten years of planning into this. The blog I mean. The festival itself has been meticulously planned, don't let anyone tell you differently. For now, leave some comment telling me I'm not funny and be sure to check out the schedule to the left of this post if you want to find out more about the bands playing Saturday and Sunday.
