NBC NY - Jelly NYC, the company behind Williamsburg’s popular summer music series known to many as the Pool Parties, released a statement today that sent shock waves through the indie music scene of New York City and beyond.  As it stands, Jelly, the New York State Parks Department, and the Open Space Alliance have yet to come to terms that would allow the continued usage of East River State Park. This, as Jelly put it in an email today sent to local journalists and music bloggers, would “ultimately put an end to the flourishing free summer series.”

So apparently every summer, hipster douche nation has a bunch of free concerts in Williamsburg.  I guess these concerts used to be held in an actual swimming pool – it was like the biggest swimming pool in America and they drained it like 25 years ago – and now its in some park that doesn’t wanna host the event anymore.  I dunno I’ve never heard shit about Pool Parties but thats because I hate hipsters with the fire of a thousand suns.  Like I’d rather go to THIS pool party drowning in Asians than go to a pool party concert surrounded by a bunch of “non comformists” riding their bikes wearing skinny jeans and and trendy Converse sneakers.

But fear not, you fucking weirdos!  Chuck Schumer is on your side!  “I happened to pass by the JELLY concerts when I was riding my bike through Williamsburg and was amazed at the thousands of people who lined the streets to come to the concerts. People from every part of the country who had made their way to Brooklyn, enjoying music and one another’s company – it’s the best of New York. When I heard that the concerts might be cancelled, I couldn’t understand why given that this is exactly what our parks are supposed to be for and I am going to do everything I can to see that they continue.”
