News is spreading through the underground (and now the New York Times) about the secret dumpster pool parties that are straight out of that scene in Kids, minus the AIDS and high-schoolers: the secret, "lo-fi urban country club" party on the banks of the Gowanus Canal consists of three connected pools (formerly dumpsters), a bocce court, grills, and cabanas.
This urban renewal project to convert dumpsters into viable pool space has environmental appeal and a strong dash of hipster-chic. The conversion company, Macro-Sea, lines old dumpsters with plastic and adds water-filtration systems to create swimming holes that are, according to one TriBeCa filmmaker, as fresh and enjoyable as those a borough over at the just slightly more upscale Soho House. How can I get an invite?
