SPECIAL EVENT: Party in the Park

July 18, 2008 at 8:42am

Thursday night I made my way down to the new Party in the Park site to see Los Lobos. Parking, as my friend texted me in all caps, F*CKING SUCKS! All parking is a walk from the site. And security rivals that of an airport. Or of Water Street Music Hall, where it seems they're always looking for a fight. Even my tiny paperback-sized purse was thoroughly checked for weapons of mass destruction.

Once in, If ound that the Riverside Park space is big, but bigger is not always better. Ultimately, you're standing in a big-ass parking lot. A big, flat expanse of blacktop that reflects the heat right back atcha. Not a tree or any shade in sight.

Refreshments are limited. There's beer and wine and Temple Bar burgers and such. And if you don't drink alcohol, you've got just three other choices: RC cola, Diet Rite cola, or water. No Coke, no Pepsi, no getting your Dew on, no being a Pepper allowed.

The upside: the sound was good.
