Fort Greene Park TODAY 12pm - 10pm - FREE ADMISSION

Wow. It's really loud. Much louder than those Sunday night music fests this summer.

It hadn't even started yet when you posted....

I've been out there since 11am and they were just doing a few sound checks.

Performances don't start until later. Already itching to call 311?

No way, I'm not calling anyone. It was an observation -- I was hoping it was indeed a sound check, and that it would get quieter. And it did, so that's awesome. It sounds great from here and I hope to go check it out later on.

Subject: I had SO much fun today!

Beautiful Brooklyn was out in full force!

Talib's show was FIRE. I was so happy that I went to this concert.

A perfect end to a great summer!
