But I haven't heard anything from the people at Hudson River Park Trust. So I'm just gonna assume that we're finally gonna get to kick off the "Sunset on the Hudson" concert series tonight. Probably won't be much of a sunset. But if the rain holds off, at least we'll be able to hang out and share some music and laughs to start the weekend.
If you're checking in here to see if I'm gonna be playing in Central Park tomorrow.... the answer unfortunately is NO.
Not tomorrow.
The people in the Permit Office at The Parks Department didn't give us a permit for tomorrow. So, I won't see you in Central Park until next Saturday.
Sorry.
Bummer, I know.
BUT TONIGHT...
If you're not doing anything tonight and the weather cooperates, tonight will be the first concert of the "Sunset on the Hudson" series. I'm heading downtown now. So, we'll hang out and sing or maybe we'll all get wet together.
It's a very cool thing. Just take the #1 train to Christopher Street and walk west until you either see me, or you get wet, or wind up in Jersey. (I'll be hangin' out in the middle of the Hudson River at the end of Pier 45)
Same kind of hang as in Central Park, only this goes from 7:00 to 9pm and we play the sun down with the Statue of Liberty looking on. Like just about everything else I do, it's FREE.
If you're not doing anything and you need to get that fix of that "It's Just Us" feeling, head down to Pier 45 at the very end of Christopher Street. Bring a blanket and hang out with the below-fourteenth-street-crowd.

Now...
Got a lot of nice email about this video I posted this yesterday, so here it is again.
Thanks to Laura Manske for shootin' that thing.
AND... I thought I'd give any of you who happened to be hanging out at this particular part of the afternoon a couple of weekends ago another chance to send the link to any of your friends and family across the country - - let them share in your weekend in Central Park.
Click on the image, and if you see yourself, send the link to your peeps all over the place.
I'm hoping you guys have been checking out the videos on YouTube. Do me a favor... if you watch them, go ahead and leave a comment. It's cool to hear what's on you mind.
If you're new around here, or if you're checking in from a different part of the country or a different part of the world, take a few minutes (or hours) to browse through the ARCHIVE. Lotsa cool shit in there.
Thanks for showing up here today. If you're in town, maybe I'll see you tonight.
Thanks for everything.

PEACE

As you may know I am producing a documentary about "That Guitar Man from Central Park". I would like to ask all David's fans out there to write me and tell me any stories you may have about David and his playing in Central Park and how it has affected you or what it has meant to you. I've already heard some great stories, but I know there are more that I haven't heard. So if you got a story to tell about David and his music, please briefly write it out and send it to stories@thatguitarman.com . I will be contacting people from the stories submitted to interview them for possible inclusion in the film. Thank you and I look forward to seeing everyone on the hill this summer. - Dean
