A FIPS GUIDE TO UPCOMING BARCLAYS CENTER EVENTS
F'd in Park Slope
If you're playing along at home, you may recall that we've already WARNED YOU about the fact that Brooklyn Nets games won't be the only things happening at the Barclays Center. Once it opens, Slopers will have easy access to some really terrific performances and, well, other kinds of performances! We here at FiPS have taken a look at what's on the horizon, and here are some highlights:
JAY-Z. (9/28-30) Sean Corey Carter is a part-owner of the Nets, and it's been REPORTED that he was a big advocate for their move to Brooklyn (so he is in some way responsible for the horrible monstrous Atlantic Yards project). If enough of us go to his concert and set ourselves on fire in the arena as a protest, perhaps they'll tear down the arena and leave us in peace. It's worth a shot. Tickets go on sale July 13. Let's make this happen!
THE HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS. (10/7) This time, the Generals are going to win it. They're so overdue for a win, it's a statistical certainty. You won't want to miss that.
There's more where those came from. Click through for more uniquely FIPS-flavored analysis.
