Brooklyn Bridge Park Film Series!

We blogged earlier this week about the Red Hook Flicks outdoor movie schedule and we'd like to share the Brooklyn Bridge Park "Syfy Movies with a View" schedule as well.  It's a beautiful place to watch a free outdoor movie and their line-up is equally awesome (see below).  Our favorite part is that you have a say in their final film.  The vote this year is between Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Good Will Hunting, or Lost in Translation.  Voting begins August 22nd and movies that were rained out will also be added to the list.

Red Hook Park Events! Rakim Tonight!

There are hundreds of amazing free events during the summer all over New York and so many happening in Red Hook.  Here are just a couple happening this week in Red Hook Park, (listed below).  Red Hook Flicks will be starting up soon too, although their schedule has been announced last weekend at Bait and Tackle it's not up on their site yet.  We'll share any info about these free outdoor movies and any other events as we hear about them!

Bring Speed Cameras to NYC!

We've signed this form encouraging state legislators to install speed cameras throughout the city and we'd like to share the info.  Go to the transportation alternatives website and simply fill in the form.  After you've hit "send message" it will go directly to a donations page, which you can exit or choose to donate to this organization dedicated to NYC's bicyclists, pedestrians and transit riders, you're call.  This campaign is so important and can save lives while making money for the city...everyone wins! (except for the speeders). 

GLBL YOGA

We received an email the other day and thought we'd pass it along.  We shortened it a bit.  It sounded cool and we we went to their website we watched a video that explained more and was really interesting and saw some cool pics (see above) from their previous event.  Basically the 2010 event was the largest yoga gathering and apparently the biggest crowd-funded event in history.  So, pretty cool.  Here's what Sascha Lewis had to say:

Greetings friends.

 

GLBL YOGA's mission is create large-scale, crowd funded yoga events around the world.  We begin back at the Great Lawn in NYC on August 16th with a simply amazing array of teachers and artists including Elena Brower, Rodney Yee, Colleen Saidman, Seane Corn, Reggie Watts, DJ Drez and Questlove.  I am humbled to be co-creating with such kick-ass talent. There are forces at work here beyond the will power of the GLBL YOGA team (which is massive!) -- we've already had Richard Branson, Russell Simmons, Donna Karan, Adrian Grenier, Naomi Watts, Christy Turlington and Deepak Chopra all appear in the video for the project -- and we've only just begun. 

 

Inspired by people like yourself who believe we the people can change the world, we are "crowd-funding" this monumental happening.  This is where all you come in.  Contribute what you can and be a part of making history while getting some sweet gear, free yoga classes and maybe even some VIP tickets to the event.

 

Let's show the world what we can do, united in movement!

 

Onward & upward,

Sascha
