Hey New Yorkers (and those who want to BE us)! I got more FREE events for you, because I know you like your fun FREE and FABULOUS.
And thanks to The F$%K It List for providing the info on some of these- good lookin' out, girl! And no, I won't hold missing John Legend in concert against you, in case you were wondering... I should've kept checking the site like I meant to...
If you want to know where to find me over the next few weeks, I'll be here:
Wingate Field (BK):
Erykah Badu Aug 4th
Jill Scott Aug 11
Caribbean Night Aug 18
East River Park (NYC)
Willie Colon July 31st
Jackie Robinson Park (NYC)
Slick Rick Aug 13
Marcus Garvey Park (NYC)

Mahoney Playground (SI)
Chubb Rock Aug 6th
Red Hook Park (BK)

Now, this one ain't free:
Marc Anthony, Aventura, Alejandro Fernandez, @MSG Aug 21st
...but I DESPERATELY need to see Marc Anthony live in concert, because his voice is so damn good- I have have have to hear it live for myself! And Alejandro is quickly becoming one of my favorites- his voice is almost as good as his dad's- no lie! Aventura, eh, I could take 'em or leave 'em, but I'm sure they put on a good show.
So... WHO'S COMING WITH ME??? Preferably someone cute, who can dance and will not be embarrassed when I sing along... off key...

Also of note, Bangs and a Bun informed me that West Side Story is coming back to Broadway in 2009!!! YEE-HAW!!!!
(If you weren't aware of how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE this play/movie, go here. Then visit Bangs and a Bun where she also wrote of her complete love for the same film! It's like we were separated at birth or something!)
Arthur Laurents, the writer of the original book, is working on it and get this: IT WILL BE BI-LINGUAL!! Dare I hope that this time around Maria will be played by an actual Puerto Rican? I'll even take a Colombian or a Venezuelan, hell ANYONE who's parents came from a Spanish-speaking country would make me feel good! And according to this NY Times article, it looks like I will get my wish. No offense to the movie cast because I do love the movie, but those accents were a little janky... I'm just sayin...
So come 2009, us lovely ladies will kindly carry our chorus-girl-wannabe selves to The Great White Way and ogle at that masterpiece in person. I. CAN'T. WAIT.
*smooches...loving NYC more and more every day*

and can I just say how SICK I am over the fact that I missed Johnny Pacheco on July 9th in a free outdoor concert? And then John Legend on Monday!!! *sigh*

@Jaded and -1 No cameras are allowed at Wingate field. But I managed to sneak mine in with the baby stroller. HAHA. Though I never really got a chance to take any pics. see what deception gets you. LOL
I'm skipping Erykah I think but Jill Scott I'm all over that one.
And I MUST SEE BERES HAMMOND. I can skip Might Sparrow though. Maybe I'll go early and leave.
Love me some Slick rick but two concerts in a one week baby in tow, I don't know my old bones hehe.
@torrance, John Legend was awesome and wingate was packed. He has stepped up his game since the first show I saw him in.
@torrance- YES, I KNOW! that's why I can't believe I was so absent-minded and missed a FREE show with him! *sigh*

Hey..I was just stopping by. Since I am not..nor do I want to be a NYer this doesn't apply to me. But I'm sure that all of the ppl up there will..
That's what I said, but you will have to get creative and sneak it in.
@Foia EVERYONE wants to be a Nyer they are just scared to say it. LOL
@12kyle- you know THIS is where all the good times happen... I don't know why you're surprised.

@foia- c'mon now; NYC is the HOTNESS and everyone knows it.
@the f$%k it list- I'm not sure I want my camera confiscated... you know how event staff be abusing their powers and shit. I'll have to think about it...
