There's always something happening all around New York City; it's impossible to know everything that's happening in every borough, but I do my best. None of the words or opinions expressed here represent anyone but myself (don't get me in trouble).
I lost my phone! If you've been texting me no you haven't lmao. Is it possible to enjoy a night out without your phone? I'll let you know! Extra long newsletter this week because I am benevolent. I'll be at Show Me The Body this Friday and then depending on how punishing that line-up is on my body I may go out the rest of the weekend; here's hoping I don't end up in the hospital again because once is truly enough!
The Town Cryer variety night at Purgatory has one of my favorite comedians (Richard Perez) on the line-up! My roommate and I saw them at Union Pool and laughed so hard (snorting laughing) that they broke and had shush us so they could deliver the punchline.
PEGAO, KUMBIATAZO, and PA'BAJO will be the destination for cumbia, reggaeton, and perreo this Friday. Can't go wrong with any of those.
Versatile punks have enough time to swing by the Brunx Hardcore show at Gold Sounds or the Dog Breath & Compa show at Project Reach and still make it to Paragon for a hard and fast night with Melting Point in the basement on Saturday
Is criticism dead? Find out the answer this Monday at the e-flux screening room. Weighing heavy over the affair will be the recent layoffs at gal-dem, the loss of Gawker (again), and the fact that 10% of the NPR workforce is about to get laid off after waiting for the axe to drop for over a week.
