Potluck Picnic in Mount Prospect Park 6/14 6:30

This picnic will take place in Mount Prospect Park on Tuesday the 14th starting around 6:30pm. The park is located on Eastern Parkway between the library and the Botanic Garden. The two entrances are roughly opposite Underhill and 135 Eastern Parkway. Steady rain or lightning cancel.

We will probably be in the southwest part of the oval. There will be a Brooklynian sign. And really the park isn't big enough for you not to find us.

It is a potluck, therefore you should bring something to share. The rule on food "enough for you+1" is generally a good one. There are no picnic tables, therefore bringing a blanket or other object on which to put food is helpful.

If you haven't been to the park, you should know that it has a pretty fabulous playground. But I am not sure if the water has been turned on yet. This goes for the drinking fountains too.

The park closes at dusk, dogs are not allowed off leash after 9am and alcohol is banned from all public parks. As a long time user of the park, I have never seen that third rule enforced.

There is no need to RSVP. If you choose to RSVP, mention what you intend to bring to avoid (as much as possible) overlap.

(mods- can you copy to Crown Heights and Prospect Park too?)

I wish I could -- but my first CSA work shift is from 6pm-8pm that night. Have fun!

We don't have cross-post ability, but I will make it "global" <--- or as close to a global as we can do in this new format.

it has more trees now:

Looks like a lot of fun. Would love to go, but that is Museum Mile in the city. I don't want to pass up an opportunity to get into the Met for free. Hope you guys have a lot of fun though. Maybe I can meet up next time around.

In case you didn't know, The Met admission is suggested so you can actually go free anytime.

Tuesday night: Rain showers in the evening becoming more intermittent overnight. Low 58F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.

yeah while its nice out right now the hourly forecast doesn't look good for tonight... organizers, are we postponing?

In the even of rain, I believe Mrs. Whynot may move this activity indoors.

Known readers can PM me for details.

rain has cancelled the potluck. It may be rescheduled for next week.

Mod's, please un-global.

It is now raining here in Prospect Heights. So the potluck is postponed. Next week - same bat time, same bat location.

Sorry about the rain!

If you reschedule for Thursday (next week!) I can come with mexican treats from back home.
