Short Takes Monday, Summer Is Icumen In
Bargain for deeply discounted tickets to the Drum Major Institute Benefit Thursday June 21. Mention Daily Gotham and DMI promises a big price cut for you.
Watch Annie Hall post picnic Monday night at the first of Bryant Park's Monday Movies. Click here for schedule and other info.
Dance some of the night away at Lincoln Center's Midsummer Night Swing which starts Tuesday night with a battle of the bands. $15 gets you onto the dance floor and a group lesson; (Lesson at 6:30; Dance 7:30 PM) although I've danced along outside more often than I've paid. The schedule is here and general info (like: there is no place to store bags so don't bring them) is here.
Summer Is Icumen In is one of the earliest English songs. Read the words and listen to the tune here and then check out Ezra Pound's parody "Winter is Icumen In" here. And a silly solstice to you too.
