Cherry Beach Bitches!

[exrboy]

It's back! WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Here's the info.

*************

Sunday June 8th, 3 to 11pmPromise Cherry Beach Sunday Afternoon Soundsystem Hi, David and Irving here. We are excited to start another happy summer of Cherry Beach events this Sunday June 8th. So far it looks like we're using the same spot - along the sandy beach on the east side of the park, near the windsurfing club. This area is very magical. This year we’ve decided to expand the amount of lighting in the trees after nightfall and we’re using bigger speakers, so we got a larger generator and a trailer to move everything to and from the site. The changes should make the events sound nicer, and more comfortable after dark. The trailer will lessen our teardown work after everyone’s gone home.

Last summer we passed a hat to cover expenses, and it worked very well. We met many people however, who didn’t know that we took contributions that way and would have liked an easier way of supporting their fun time. This year we’ve added a paypal button to our website so you can make these parties happen without having to chase down a hat. Any contribution is welcome and will directly affect the quality and ease of the afternoons. Think about a one time amount that’ll cover you for the summer, we suggest anywhere that’s comfortable from 20 to 100$. To do this go to ilovepromise.com - thanks! If you have suggestions for the afternoon or about participating in other ways, we’re always open to channeling your ideas and energy.

Contact us by replying to this email or call us - David 416 550 2702, Irving 416 902 1740. The weather forecast for the weekend looks uncertain. We’ll send an email on Saturday with the line up and update on the weather, and look forward to the sun making it’s way through the clouds. On the Sunday you can call Dave’s landline for a message about the plan for the day 416 461 4939. If there’s any rain around we’ll likely wait to start next week. See you at the beach.

cheers,

David and Irving

anytime buddy! I was just trying to help you out by providing the answer you sought...while displaying my rather beautiful wit.

[NemIsis]

It would be nice to hit this up next week

[outofcontrol]

I don't see any thunderstorms.. boo to this.. I was quite looking forward to today.. and well, the weather is perfect to be kickin it on the beach right now.

[patri©k]

someone really fucked up on the weather forecast... not a cloud in the sky.

[DJ Doublecross]

Yeah I might head down there in a few minutes to see what's happening... it's total blue skies everywhere!

[outofcontrol]

spoke too soon.. the weather is coming....

[grounded4life]

wish I'd gotten the email sooner. Biked down to the beach with a friend, looked around - nothing... so we sat there for a while in the sun and biked around more til the weather started to get cooler and the clouds rolled in. Good bike ride though!

[ChrisD]

I was down there, and although the view was super fantastic no beach fun in the sun. Great walk though.

[exrboy]

It's on for Sunday. HOoray!

[The Watcher]

Yay! From Dave and Irving!

hi, David and Irving here. We’re really excited and happy to welcome you to the start of our 7th year of sunday afternoons down at the beach!

this sunday June 15th
promise cherry beach sunday afternoon soundsystem

Commuter trains commute, road rage rages, movies move, people shop in shops and someone's at home 'tidying up'. But all the while the grasses wave and wind blows and airplanes and birds pass overhead as we swing in hammocks and listen to rhythms flowing through the trees down at Cherry Beach.

Bring a frisbee, bring a kite, bring a handy sweater, bring a dog (only nice dogs), bring your lover and a hammock. And pass the time on this lazy sunny sunday afternoon with friends and friends of friends.

3 to 11pm - east end of the park

The line up this sunday:

low voltage .. ambient funk
lindsay .. sunshine reggae
masia one, meesha and ill gates .. hip hop, dub and delays
lucie .. house and electro groove
fabio palermo .. bouncy techno
tom kuo .. deep minimal techno

directions:
Take Lakeshore Blvd East just past Parliament. Turn south down Cherry Street all the way to the end. Then go east into the parking lot on your left. At the end of the parking lot walk along the bike path or the new path down along the beach… you'll hear music. If you end up at a point, you are going the wrong way.

Biking to Cherry Beach is easy along the trails beside the lake, and there’s a TTC bus that goes from Union Station right to the park.

things to think about:
Please don't bring more than you plan to take back out with you - leave no trace.
Bring something warm (it gets cool after dark by the lake) and something to sit on and also something to keep sun off your head.
Take care of the people around you.
Drink lots of water. Bring something to share.

contributions to cherry beach:
Last summer we passed a hat to cover expenses, and it worked very well. We met many people however, who didn’t know that we took contributions that way and would have liked an easier way of supporting their fun time. This year we’ve added a paypal button to our website so you can make these parties happen without having to chase down a hat. Any contribution is welcome and will directly affect the quality and ease of the afternoons. Think about a one time amount that’ll cover you for the summer, we suggest anywhere that’s comfortable for you from $20 to $100. To do this please go to ilovepromise.com - thanks!

weather update:
The weather forecast for the weekend looks uncertain again. On sunday you can call Dave’s landline for a message about the plan for the day - 416 461 4939.

And we’re always reachable on our mobiles - David 416 550 2702 and Irving 416 902 1740.

Our deepest thanks for their continued support and encouragement to Pat Chastang and Councillor Paula Fletcher, Sandy Straw and Jaime McCaig at Toronto Parks, Jason Lazslo, Councillor Joe Pantalone, the Toronto Public Space Committee, Lori and Kevin from newmindspace, Tim from Drummers in Exile, Zaria, Vanessa, Lyen, Katie, Zack, ALA, Bettina, and Justin from alienInFlux.
