Update: Racket in Cadman Plaza Park, Brooklyn, Annoys Brooklyn Heights All Afternoon

Lesbian, gay and straight alike agree on one thing today in Brooklyn Heights: the music blasting from Cadman Plaza Park all afternoon was incredibly loud and horribly tasteless.

What sounded like a three-hour rendition of "I Will Not Dance to Your War Drum" -- interspersed with  Elton John tunes mixed to a Latin beat -- deafened the north end of the Heights starting at 1 p.m.

The event was supposed to be the GLBT Summer Affair. For the first four hours of the noise, there were no more than 20 people, and most of them appeared to be somehow connected with setting up the "event."

There were two tables set up. One was manned by an earnest Obama supporter handing out campaign literature to virtually no one. The other had something to do with health, again with no takers.

UPDATE: At around 6 p.m. a small crowd -- maybe 40 people -- were in attendance. At 7 p.m. the event ended and thank all that is holy the noise stopped.
