Friendship Day

Internationally recognized and an undeniably great idea, Friendship day is a day to celebrate those people in our lives who are forgiving enough to allow us to hang out with them. So here's the deal. Take a moment. Think of some guy or gal that you haven't talked to in ages, somebody that you keep saying "Oh man. I haven't talked to Bert (or Leroy or Betty Lou) in ages. And then...

Awww....I have no idea who these people are.

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.

FFWD

On the first Wednesday night of every month Lolita Bar hosts DJ Ty and the indie rock night FFWD. Sets feature a mix of new released and yet to be released tracks with a few indie hits from the last year thrown in for good measure. You can check out set lists from previous nights and even scam a few MP3s at the FFWD site.

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.
