FREE: Jay Reatard Show at Stuy Town Oval
This past CMJ season I had the chance to attend a show at one of the most hateful and awful musical venues this side of Terminal 5 at a little place called Santos Party House. The floor space was cold and weird with its white concrete walls, huge plaster columns
Automatic Slims, Planning Ahead and Krazy Komedy!
The big summer holiday weekend approaches, folks and in the interest of planning ahead and maximizing fundage before Friday I am taking a three-pronged approach to this post. First things first…
This New Literary Magazine is a Gift to the People of San Francisco
I’ve got some awesome news! We received a grant from the Civic Joy Fund to put out a literary magazine celebrating SF and acting to counter the stupid “Doom Loop” narrative. It’s a gift to the people of San Francisco. And after months of working on this project it’s now available
FREE: Gold Diggers of 1933 in Bryant Park
The Bryant Park Film Festival is great for chilling outside, enjoying great weather and checking people out.

FREE: Yoga for the Unemployed at Integral Yoga
Being broke can be rough but being unemployed in this city is one of the most stressful and defeating experience a New Yorker can face. There’s a constant needling sense of failure, desperation and fear. Every minute you spend not looking for a job is a guilt-filled one and losing
FREE: Dancing and Brooklyn Summer Ale
There’s nothing particularly monumental about today’s event except that with the recent weather it’s hard to remind yourself that summer just started and that you should be out enjoying it when everyday is grey, muggy and rainy. BUT…JDub Records and NYPress are offering you the chance to dance tonight, to
