NEW YORK - ROOFTOP TOXIC BROOKLYN

By viceuk

Having a bad time on a New York rooftop in the summer is almost impossible unless you're being thrown off. And if you want to have a really good time on one head down to the Westbeth Artists Community in Greenwich Village tonight (July 26th) to check out a yummy little smorgasbord of short movies presented by Rooftop Films. Tonight's lineup features a couple segments from VBS.tv's Toxic Brooklyn series that delve into the oily sludge bubbling beneath Williamsburg's real-estate boom. There's also a short about a carny dealing with the gentrification of Coney Island and falling in love with a sideshow freak, another about a sinking ship full of animals, and live music before the movies. It's a cheap date that someone's bound to find romantic enough to go home with you afterward, so there's really no excuse not to show up.
