Summerscreen, the L's free outdoor summer film series in McCarren Park (thanks to sponsors EPIX, Verizon Fios and IFC), began this Wednesday with Friday. And you know this, maaan!

Special Events Photos from our The Real L Word Season 2 Premier Party at The Knitting Factory
Posted by Sarah Shanfield on Mon, Jun 13, 2011 at 4:24 PM
The "L" in our publication name could stand for a lot of things; love, lust, loneliness, lomo tacos. But for one night, we rented out our letter to the ladies over at The Real L Word Season 2, and threw them a huge party to show them what our space in the alphabet is made of. CREEP and DJ Rehka were there, along with gallons and gallons of red wine. Also, everyone was beautiful. Don't believe us? Well, we'd never use our letter to be Liars.
