The view is freakin' awesome - can't wait!

Do you know how awkward it is to have a political argument with a naked man?

Actually, according to weather.com, it'll range between 87 and 84 degrees between those hours.

Drivers should park by Hunter's Brookdale campus (25th just east of 1st Ave) and walk over that lil'bridge on 25th St.

Oh and water can be bought in the lil'supermarket right by the band.

Tonight will be awesome!

FREE GEE and . . . the Big Apple Lindy Hoppers perform during intermission!

Always has a great breeze off the East River, cool views, spacious dancer-friendly Plaza, small vinyl dance floor, plenty of seating, and cheap eats!

thanks for joining us Eff! It was nice and cool by the river and after the brief rain shower, we came back on and did a nice set starting with Carla singing the blues. Always a blast over Waterside.

It turned out to be a great evening - nice cool(ish) breezes, and some hot music by the always awesome Carla, George, and the band.

Thanks for the pics, Eff. I always think I look better as a blur - makes me look so much more dynamic :D .

Thanks to everyone who went to Waterside last night.

George Gee & the band with Carla sounded AWESOME!!! Especially loved the second set after things cooled off -- and the Big Apple Lindy Hoppers ROCKED! See you next year -- Yenneca

Eff, you know I had dance shoes stashed in my bag, but then my boss decided to hang out and "observe," so I had to act like I was workin' . . .
