About
The Main Event walks the line between self-indulgence and going above and beyond for loved ones.
This annual birthday extravaganza began after Jason Melker was told to cancel his birthday plans in 2010 because he needed to work late on a project that was never utilized. Since our initial launch party at Jason's parents' house in 2011, The Main Event has, time and time again, gathered the greatest people on the planet and brought them all to one location... Just a few feet away from Jason's bedroom.
After a three year hiatus, we are proud to return and present The Main Event pt. X!
PARKING & SHUTTLES
Street parking is available for all those driving. We ask that you do not park in the driveway, so not to interrupt any games of Kan Jam, Cornhole or Lasso Golf. Rides from the Baldwin and Oceanside LIRR Stations will be provided as well. Please try to coordinate with Jason or another festival-goer ahead of time.
ACTIVITIES
Past activities have included Cornhole, Kan Jam, Lasso Golf, a rap battle and Justin Bieber Piñatas.
KEEP OUR GROUNDS GREEN & CLEAN
Please refrain from peeing or pooping in our plants. Also, there are receptacles located throughout the grounds. If you finish your drink and are no-longer looking to re-fill your cup, please dispose of it. Nothing sucks more for Jason than having to clean up your mess when he is hungover the next morning.
THE PLAYLIST
WILL FOOD BE SERVED?
Yes. There will be hot dogs, spicy Italian sausage, hamburgers, chicken burgers and veggie burgers. The grill will be lit at 5:00 PM and remain available throughout the evening.
​
WOW! ALL THAT FOOD CAN MAKE ME THIRSTY. WILL THERE BE DRINKS?
Yes. After many internal disagreements, we are excited to announce that there will be a keg as well as bottled water.
WELL IF YOU ARE PROVIDING FOOD AND DRINKS, WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
A smile and a winning attitude.
​
​
WHAT TIME DOES THE MAIN EVENT END?
When the last person leaves.
DO I NEED TO RSVP?
Not necessarily. It's polite to but this event isn't really about manners.
​
​
WHAT ARE THE BEST TRAVEL OPTIONS?
You can drive or take the Long Island Rail Road to our free shuttle service.
IS THERE A FREE SHUTTLE SERVICE?
Yes. I just said that. My dad has an affinity for picking people up from the train. Also, it's a great way for him to reintroduce himself to people he's met countless times over the last 35 years.
​
​
WHERE CAN I PARK?
You can park on both sides of Frederick Street but West side parking is preferred. Please do not block anyone's driveway and if there is bird shit on the ground, do not park over it unless you want the roof of your car to match.
ARE UGLY PEOPLE ALLOWED TO COME?
That's a silly question. Of course not.
MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER ALWAYS TAKES THE FUN OUT OF A GOOD TIME. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Bring them anyway. We are toying with the idea of putting all not fun people in the garage and cutting the power.
​
​
IS THERE VIP ADMISSION?
Get over yourself.
​
​
WHAT IF I OR SOMEONE I KNOW WASN'T FORMALLY INVITED?
There are no formal invites. If you consider yourself a friend of Jason's or someone Jason would like, please feel welcome to join.
​
AM I ALLOWED TO DRINK AND DRIVE?
If you want to be an asshole, absolutely!
​
​
CAN I REQUEST A SONG?
You definitely can! That doesn't mean it will get played.
WHERE CAN I POOP?
The upstairs bathroom. The downstairs bathroom is for #1 only. Please do not poop downstairs. There is nothing more unwelcoming than walking into a house and smelling doodie.
​
​
ARE PETS ALLOWED?
We welcome dogs, rhinos, goats, dragons and otters. No cats. Fuck cats.
That being said, Myla will be at day care because I don't need someone's kids feeding her chocolate and grapes.
​
​
ARE CHILDREN ALLOWED?
All cute kids are welcome... unless your kid is a whiney bitch. This is about you, not them. If they are going to make your experience less awesome, they can fuck off.
​
​
WHO AM I ALLOWED TO HAVE SEX WITH?
Anyone who doesn't attend my family's Passover Seders.
WHAT IF IT RAINS?
See you on 7/8... as in seven ate nine... but no 9
