It's raining like crazy! so far, Merce Cunningham news...

As you've noticed, the weather really sucks which really sucks for All Points West and the Dan Deacon/No Age/Deerhunter Pool Party at the Williamsburg Waterfront. Another outdoor show today (8/2) is the Merce Cunningham Dance Company Performance in Rockefeller Park...

Due to current weather conditions, the Merce Cunningham Dance Company performance at 2 pm and the Dance in the Park: Family Movement Workshop at 4 pm have been cancelled.We are still doing everything possible to make the 6 pm performance at Rockefeller Park. Stay tuned!

There was also a Merce Cunningham performance on Saturday. Merce himself passed away a week ago today which was also the day rain and lightning causes the cancellation of Trail of Dead's performance at the Williamsburg Waterfront.

Friday at All Points West was also rainy, though Saturday was beautiful all day.

UPDATE: All Points West is opening late

UPDATE 2: The Pool Party has been moved to Brooklyn Bowl.

UPDATE 3: APW supposedly opening at 3:40

UPDATE 4: APW doors are open

UPDATE 5: The 6pm Merce Cunningham show is happening as scheduled.

I'll keep you posted with any news.

Looks like I made the right choice using my friday ticket to go on saturday and not sunday.

Maybe people who have tickets for both friday and sunday get a free ticket next year?

I feel bad for GV. I hope APW happens next year

this is because coldplay was headlining. It's god telling the world to get better taste in music!

i think it will the fest was set up really nice this year. they did the right thing by letting people use fridays tix. leaves a good taste in peoples mouths when they think of going next year. the beer sections/wait were light years better as well as bathrooms. i didn't eat there but looked like the food selection was way better too. just who do they get to follow Radiohead>Tool. That is pretty much the festival standard...

If anybody heads to the deacon/deerhunter/no age show in the next couple hours and they actually start playing, write a message on this board. Use those hip iPhoneBerry things all the kids have these days.

they probably will not come back next year after the fiasco this year.
By this time last year they had already signed a new lease for liberty state park. There is no lease now for next year.

Aren't they having JellyNYC afterparties at Brooklyn Bowl every Sunday? It seems like the logical choice for a move...

The rain radar has a clear opening sometime after 3pm. I would not be surprised to see the show go on at both places.

Move the show to Market or Brooklyn Bowl or Danbro (if you can bring a PA)

yoyo yoyo talks of moving.. Not sure where yet. Stay tuned and then jump on it.

I went to the Deerhunter/Dan Deacon/No Age show in Medford, yesterday. It was a great time if anyone is thinking of going today (hope the weather shapes up) - posted plenty of video here to check out; http://www.youtube.com/user/IvyMike777
