EasternPkwy writes: Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz is bringing his annual bash to our doorsteps! “Brooklyn Best,” formerly known as Welcome Back to Brooklyn, will be held in and around Grand Army Plaza and Eastern Parkway. On Saturday, June 4 and Sunday, June 5, our neighborhood will be packed with activity … A few highlights:

Saturday
8:45 PM: fireworks shot from Mount Prospect Park – tranquilize your pets!
9:00: ‘Star Wars’ (1977) will be shown in the Long Meadow – the original is still the best!

Sunday
Noon – 6:00 PM: Miniature Golf around the Bailey Fountain (at the GAP Arch)

PICTURED: RETURN OF THE DORKS. In what may be the funniest bit ever shown on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Triumph the Comic Insult Dog interviews Star Wars geeks outside a theater in Manhattan, waiting in line for the opening of Attack of the Clones. Triumph to Nerd Darth Vader: “Which one of these buttons calls your mother to come pick you up?” [VIDEO LINK, 17MB]

PS. EasternPkwy continues: “We will set up tables on the Eastern Parkway Median Sunday afternoon … This is a fantastic opportunity for us to raise our profile in our quest to get the Eastern Parkway median renovated. So we are asking for volunteers to come out Sunday afternoon…”
