MIH Ventures Heatwave BBQ 2011?

Have not heard boo about this yearly MIH Ventures BBQ shitshow that goes down in Prospect Park, and google searches turn up nada.

Anyone else have scoop?

If me talking about Oliver-n-dogs and Basset Hounds makes you wanna barf, now would be a good time to clickity clack on over to another post. Cause this Sunday was the first official meetup of the North Slope Basset Hound Association (NBA), and it was AMAZEBALLS x ten billion.

Organized by fellow Park Sloper and NYT City Room Bureau Chief Andy Newman (and his world famous Basset Hound Barnaby, who almost completed a 26.2 mile marathon around his own block in Park Slope; video here), six Bassets and their people met up in Prospect Park for some major howling, barking, drooling and general mayhem: Meet Iggy, Jett, Oliver, Barnaby, Higgins and Baxter!

Hey, Park Slope! Now's your chance to show the neighborhood how well you play Bach, Chilly Gonzales and that one Ben Folds Five song that you used as a panty dropper back in college. As part of Sing For Hope's Pop-Up Piano Project, 88 sets of ivory keys are popping up across the five boroughs, including one in Grand Army Plaza and another at the Prospect Park carousel. While there will be scheduled performances at each location, they're mostly there for passersby to hop on for some impromptu jamming.
