UPDATE: RIVER TUBING CANCELLED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER! We had to cancel due to the cold weather (70) and a 40% chance of rain.
We'll reschedule this event for a warm and dry weekend. Stay tuned!
Hi, A-Teamers,
We are going tubing this Sunday along the Delaware river.
Co-Captain Carl A. did it this past weekend and had a blast, so we're going!
The Skinny!:
Who: You
What: Floating down a river in a tube.
When: Sunday August 1st
Where: Delaware River Tubing
Wear: Clothes that can get wet, and some beat up ol' sneakers to protect your feet. Towel to dry off with.
Why: We gotta beat the heat!
Wallet: $27 for tube rental, couple bucks for parking, and some gas money to chip in for the drivers. And maybe some money for some snacks afterwards. All in all, I'm estimating about $40.
Watch: Leaving NYC at 11am and likely to arrive back at 5pm.
What else: We will be carpooling, so I need to get a headcount as early possible to make sure everyone has a ride.
What else part 2: We may need to rent a ZipCar. Let me know if you have an account with them and/or are willing to drive.

Big Bambú - Wrap Up
Thanks to everyone who made it out to the event!
And a big ups to the European tourists who gave us their picnic food so we didn't have to buy any!
Cameras were not allowed in the Big Bambú installation, so we only have photos from the picnic afterwards.
Thanks to Richie T., for grabbing the snap shot!
How many A-Teamers have cars or Zip Car accounts? We may head a bit out of the area for the next event.
(Tentatively scheduled for Sunday, August 1st).

Big Bambú at The Met, July 17th
Hey A-Teamers,
Co-Captain Sara J. suggested we go check out the Big Bambú installation at the Met so that's what we are doing! (It's also Matthew G.'s birthday that day!)
Who: You
What: Climbing through the bamboo installation built above the Met's viewing deck.
When: Saturday July 17th- Arriving at the Big Bambu ticket counter (at 81st street, OUTSIDE the Met) before noon. I will be there at 11am to try and help save us a spot in line. Come keep me company!
Where: The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Wear: MUST wear rubber soled shoes. Sandals and leather soled shoes are not allowed. And no skirts/short-shorts because you will be climbing above people's heads.
Why: Large scale interactive art is hella rad
Wallet: Suggested museum donation is $20. Extra money for bodega snacks afterwards.
What else: We are planning on picnicking/snacking afterwards in Central park. Consider bringing some snackies and storing them in coat check during the tour.
What else part 2: The ticketing for this event is a bit tricky. It is on a first come first serve, one ticket per person, basis. So, alas, we will have to do some waiting in line and may be split between two tour groups. Read the Met's website for a complete explanation.

Fourth of July
Hello A-Teamers,
We didn't plan a Fourth of July event in advance.
However, on the morning of the Fourth, a few plans came together and some of us met up at Richie T.'s studio rooftop to watch the fireworks.
After getting past the police barricade and the officer with commitment issues, we had a fun time on the roof.
Richie T., Bart H., Sara J., Bryn B., Jimmy and Laura, and Matthew G. were all there.

The boats lining up to watch the fireworks (from a safe distance).
Big ups to Macy's for sponsoring this event.
Ka-Boom!
