Lurkers 1 Screening This Thursday

On Thursday, July 28th at 8 PM, they will be showing the original Lurkers video from 2003 at Mollusk Surf Shop on the corner of Metropolitan Avenue and River Street in Williamsburg. It is meant to accompany a screening of a surf film called Sea of Joy, and will also include a few other videos Joe Cups and Sam had made throughout the years. It’s an outdoor environment that is open container friendly insofar as you’re not waving it at cops. There will be some a barbecue to go along with it as well.

The version of Lurkers being shown is the original version that was premiered after EST3 at KCDC back in 2003, and not the modified version that was a bonus feature on the second run of Lurkers 2 DVDs. This version was only available on VHS from Autumn and Supreme and is widely under-seen, especially among those of us who were fourteen when it came out. (No, it is not on YouTube.)

To get there, you can take the L to Bedford Avenue, skate south on Bedford until you hit Metropolitan, make a right, and take Metropolitan all the way west to River Street, right around where you’d hit the water. Map here.
