McCarren Pool update - residents want more diverse and/or NO concerts ++ pics of Bloc Party

I never posted these photos from Bloc Party‘s show at Brooklyn’s McCarren Pool on July 29, 2006…

THERE WAS A MEETING LAST WEEK
“…Meanwhile, some residents from Eckford Street implied they would be happy if every performer was told to stay away from the venue. Local artist Yvonne Estrada was the most bitterly vocal, complaining that the high decibel levels prevented her from entertaining guests, or simply enjoying life. ‘We’re practically in front of the pool,’ she said. ‘I like rock, but it’s not fair to have a performance venue right outside my door.'” [Queens Ledger] (via Brooklyn Record & Gawker)
