“The emails have been piling up and everyone’s asking, “dude, what’s up with the Pool Parties?” Well DUDE, so sorry to keep you waiting, but here at JELLY we’ve been working our asses off to bring you one of the greatest free concert series in history. The Pool Parties are going to be extremely crucial this year, “epic” or “amazing” as you people say these days. Seriously, eight weeks of FREE shows on the waterfront of Williamsburg? Does it get any better? You might be thinking “waterfront”? Yeah, in case you didn’t hear the McCarren Pool’s closed so get over it :) , and yeah we kept the name Pool Parties even though the East River’s not at a pool, so what? We’ve still got DODGEBALL, basketball, DJ’s, bands, burgers the works! We love you more than your parents ever could, and if you want to have fun and hang out with us this summer. [Full schedule below]. Bring your friends but please don’t bring these things [pictured above]. As you can see below, underage drinking will not be tolerated. . You guys wouldn’t do that though, so there’s nothing to worry about. Thank you for visiting and stay tuned!!” -Jelly

Update from our last Pool Party post. Seriously, I miss every Ponytail show in NY. Not cool. JellyNYC is rockin’ a stellar lineup this year that includes very close FRNDS of the FMLY, DD/MM/YYYY. Catch FMLY at all of them.
