9 Foundry StreetApt 4C: buzz, then stairs
โณ
6 days to goDoors at 7 pm sharp
The plan
Sunset in, headphones out.
Doors on the roof open at 7, but the real show is the 6:12 sunset, so earlier is better. Here is the shape of the night.
Where
The roof at 9 Foundry Street, apt 4C. Buzz 4C, then take the stairs. All of them.
What is on
Three DJ sets, a request box, tacos off the grill from 7:30, and a silent disco from 11 to midnight.
What to bring
BYOB and something to share. Claim an item on the bring-sheet so we do not end up with nine bags of chips.

Saturday forecast
Cold enough for blankets, clear enough for the skyline.
Dry and calm, with a breeze at the ledge after ten. Forecast refreshed Tuesday morning; we will update this page if it turns.
๐ค๏ธ 58°F
Golden hour, light layers
The sun is still on the roof until 6:12. Warm for October, so a light jacket does it.

Quiet after 11
Speakers go off at 11 sharp and the last hour is a silent disco on headphones. Keep it low in the stairwell, too: it carries.
-
โฌ๏ธ
Stairs only
Five flights to the roof and no elevator on that route. Hold the rail, take your time, and tell Dee if stairs are a problem.
-
๐ซ
Nothing over the ledge
Stay behind the low wall. No glass within six feet of the edge: cans and the plastic cups in the bin only.
-
๐ฅ
No flames, no smoking
The string lights are LED and the roof is tar. Smokers have the Pike Street side door, two minutes away.
-
โป๏ธ
Leave it nicer
Blue bin for cans and bottles, black for everything else. There are bags by the roof door and a cleanup crew at midnight.

๐ช
Do not prop the street door
Buzz and wait. If the door is open when you arrive, close it behind you. Everyone who lives here has a key.
Getting in
Buzz 4C. Then climb.
Four steps from the sidewalk to the sky. Allow ten minutes the first time, five if you have done stairs before.

๐ช Find the green door
No. 9 sits between the laundromat and Pike’s Bakery. A bike with a flat tyre chained to the railing means you are in the right place.

๐ Buzz 4C
The panel is on the left. Hold the button for a full second: it is old. No answer? Text or call Dee on 555-0142.

โฌ๏ธ Take the stairs, all of them
Stairs only: five flights up to the roof door. The elevator stops at 4 and the roof is not on its route. Save the singing for the top.

๐ช Mind the step at the roof door
It is propped open with a brick. The roof is gravel, so flats beat heels. Coats go on the pegs to the left.

Questions
Everything people text Dee about.
Still stuck? Call or text 555-0142 and she will answer between the grocery run and the stairs.
โ๏ธWhat if it rains?โ
Then it becomes an indoor party in apt 4C and the fourth-floor hallway, with the same sets and the same tacos. We will message the Roof Crew chat by 4 pm on Saturday, and we only call it for rain or lightning. Right now the chance is 5%.
โCan I bring a plus-one?โ
Yes, one, please. Add them on the RSVP form so we can count blankets and tacos. A bigger group? Message Dee first: the roof tops out at 40 people.
๐ก๏ธKids? Dogs?โ
Adults only, sorry: the ledge is low and the night runs late. Calm dogs are welcome before 9 pm if you tell us in advance, but the stairs are long and the gravel is hard on paws.
โฌ๏ธIs the roof accessible?โ
Honestly, not very: it is five flights of stairs and no elevator to the roof. If that is a problem, tell Dee. We will put a seat by the window in 4C, which has an almost-as-good skyline view, and a speaker on the same set list.
๐How do I get home?โ
The last bus (14) leaves Foundry & 3rd at 12:40 am and the last Mercer Street train is at 1:20. Rideshares pick up on Pike Street, which is quieter than the front door. Please do not drive if you have been drinking; the couch in 4C is real.
๐Is it free? What about the pizza?โ
It is free. Please bring a drink and claim something on the bring-sheet. At 9 pm two people collect four pizzas from the place on Pike; we split the bill, about $8 a head if you are eating.
๐งWhat is the headphone hour?โ
A silent disco. At 11 the speakers go off and 24 wireless headphones come out, on three channels you can switch between: pink for house, violet for pop, orange for whatever Marcus feels like. First come, first headphoned; the rest can dance to the quiet.
Last one of the year
See you up there.
โค๏ธ Dee, Marcus & the 4C crew
P.S. If you read all the way down here: yes, there will be a shared playlist afterwards, and yes, it is far too long.
