Tomorrow (Wednesday, May 27) marks the first of four poolside KOOP DJ nights this summer at the Carpenter Hotel. The theme is "Night Swim," and from 6-8pm DJs Melinda Bee (The Africa Express and Be Kind Rewind at KOOP Radio) and DJ Creech (Creature Feature) will be spinning tunes with a chill, relaxing vibe. It's a BYO Vinyl affair, so feel free to your own Night Swim themed records. Or just come hang out by the pool, enjoy the tunes, take a swim and relax.
