Craft Night

Every Monday night Williamsburg's Stain Bar hosts PAINTstain, a "talent optional" craft night. Dabble a bit - sketch, sculpt, knit, write, whatever strikes your fancy. Bring friends and create a collaborative work, or just sink deep into a comfy couch have a drink and listen to the live jazz.
Paint by numbers is more our style.

Smut

A respectable array of New York City writers gathers at Galapagos every Monday for this strangely highbrow/lowbrow weekly smut, erotic performance, reading, and discussion. The quality of the readings and performances vary wildly, but at its best this can be really, very amusing stuff and the Galapagos space, large with tall ceiling and an easily accessible bar, makes an ideal venue.

Roller Disco

Every Wednesday night The Roxy clears their dance floor and creates a roller rink unlike one you've ever seen. A fantastic mix of those incredibly talented skaters you see at Central Park, and people who've never skated before in the life, but truly believe that fluorescent pink, knee high socks, aviator glasses, a headband, and a half dozen Bacardi and Cokes will transform them into Roller Queens.

Yes they serve bears there.

Quiz-Off

Every Wednesday in Williamsburg Pete's Candy Store hosts the Quiz-Off, a team based trivia quiz game. Play lasts for six rounds of twenty questions and questions come in flavors of general knowledge, music, top tens, and visual identification. First prize is a $25 bar tab and a shot at the Quiz-Off finals with a $500 top prize. The event is enormously popular and the competition is fierce. Make sure to....

Starshine Burlesque

There's good reason Rififi's weekly variety show has been running so long. The low key show - a mix of striptease, magic, comedy, acrobatics, draws a constantly changing mix of New York's top burlesque talent to the stage creating a totally new show every week.

Note: Dancer in picture most likely will not be performing, due to prior commitments in cartoonland.

2nd Avenue Festival

It is just a street fair, and it's a lot like most other ones. But, it's on 2nd Ave, so you get an East Village crowd. And it's pretty long (about 7 blocks), but not over-crowded. And 2nd Ave is pretty wide so there's a little more space to walk. The food and stands also tend to be a little better than your average street fair...
Now how do you like them apples?

Rated X, The Panty Party

The premise is elegant in its simplicity. Two for one drinks all night provided you check your pants at the door. Right. You got it. This is a "mixed" party where at least half the crowd has opted to trade in both their pants and their sobriety in exchange for the chance of getting LastnightsParty.com slut cred.

Erm...don't get too excited. This pics a manequin.

Le Scandal

Magicians, sword swallowers, belly dancers, fire eaters, trapeze actors, burlesque dancers and thats just to start. Where else but New York? Every Saturday night the Cutting Room hosts Le Scandal (formerly The Blue Angel Cabaret), a motley collection of acts which never fails to keep its audience entranced. Rave reviews, numerous celebrity sightings, and features in everything from the New York Times to HBO's Real Sex ensure that the house is packed every week.

She is Neo-Classic.

World Laughter Day

Sponsered by the World Laughter Tour Corporation headquartered in Columbus Ohio and the Laughter Club International headquartered in Mumbai India, world laughter day is a day in which all citizens are encouraged to "set aside their cares and differences and engage in good-hearted acts of laughing outloud, silliness, giggles, clowning, chuckles, guffaws, grins...

Well sure it's a little uncomfortable...
