WEDNESDAY // FOTP BBQ Kickoff

May 17, 2011 @ 12:41 pm

Its that time again… one of my favorite summer events. Now in its 4th summer, the FOTP BBQ Blowout is back at Good Co – conveniently located right by my apartment. . On site tix will be $10 and will include a plate of food and a complimentary Reyka Vodka cocktail. Advance tickets are sold out so please show up early.  As always, the event is on rain or shine.

Entry is free, so come and hang out and enjoy Reyka specials all night long. As always, Nicky Digital will be snapping your photos, so make sure to wipe that sauce off your face.

The first BBQ features Jesse Schenker of Recette fame. Lauded with numerous awards ( two stars from The New York Times, two stars from NY Magazine, three stars from Time Out New York, etc) Wednesday’s BBQ is sure to be delish.

On the decks will be Frankie Rose who claims to be haunted by the ghosts of Brill Building. Her ethereal, yet affectation-free vocal melodies, swirling in a sea of church-like harmonies over a bed of tambourines, bells, and propulsive drumming, recall such artists as Elizabeth Fraser and Black Tambourine.
