Brooklyn's Pier 3 is being taken over by Diesel this weekend (it's good to know that during this time of financial crisis there's one company that can shell out $200K for a party). Over the week it's been transformed into a Rock & Roll Circus atmosphere, big tent and all, in preparation for the big day Saturday, or as they call it: "the show of a lifetime." With only 5,000 in attendance, the bands N*E*R*D, Hot Chip, Chaka Kahn and M.I.A will join a bunch of zany circus acts, plus deejays Joel and Benji Madden for an evening of fire-and-brimstone debauchery. But what's this, a new rumor is starting to circulate: Britney is definitely, maybe going to be performing at the event! Possibly. If your invite got lost in the mail, you can head to the company's Union Square and Lexington stores today where tickets will be given away on a first come, first serve basis (read: they're likely gone by now). Or you can try to stake out a spot on the Promenade for what should be a good view. Lisa Willner, spokesperson for the Empire State Development Corporation, told The Brooklyn Eagle that "the money will go to the park for maintenance and operations," and that the area "will be turned into a park immediately after" the show.
