"sad to report that, due to the imminent approach of Hurricane Irene, we are exercising discretion as the better part of valor and preemptively canceling the Sunday, August 28th Central Park show.

Again, the Sunday, August 28 Jagged Edge, Avant and Melanie Fiona show at Central Park is now CANCELED due to Hurricane Irene."

That would have been the final free show at Central Park Summerstage this summer. Six more chances to pay to go there (aka Rumsey Playfield) in September.

Update: the 8/28 show is now rescheduled for 9/21

I am most concerned about the rush of people to the grocery stores and bodegas. How am I supposed to navigate these filled, busy labyrinths of aisles when all I am trying to do is buy hummus?

Charlie Parker Jazz Festival Saturday and Sunday canceled as well. Stay tuned. Afro Punk Fest is done as well.

I just got back from Whole Foods, the place is a madhouse. I was only able to salvage 3 tubs of hummus, not nearly enough to last me through the storm. If anyone has a stockpile in their freezer, please help a brotha out!
