One Thing Far, One Thing Close, One Thing Movin All Over The City

I don’t usually head out to Jersey on a Saturday night, but this looks really, really cool.  The community-run, depression-era grand Loew’s Movie Palace in Jersey City is showing two films from the 1920s today: the Marx Brothers’ first film The Cocoanuts (1929) at 4pm, and Safety Last with live

Geishas on the Gowanus

Well not really.  The Geishas will be emerging tonight at Grasslands, and the party for the Gowanus tomorrow is costume optional (though I think there is a Depression Era theme’).  The words both started with G, I was hoping they’d draw you to read this post.  Guess it worked. GEISHA

Soul Singing and an Arctic Opening

Grace McLean has a voice that could launch a thousand ships filled with history’s greatest jazz musicians.  Perched on the precarious edge of ‘œabout to make it big,’ Grace is still a broke-ass like us and tickets are still cheap.  This Wednesday night, you can see her at Joe’s Pub

Brooklyn Spelling Bee, Garden Yoga, and Writer’s Workshops

WILLIAMSBURG SPELLING BEE I used to clam up when it came time for spelling bees in 4th Grade.  I was, and still am, a horribly useless speller.  However, I love watching ‘œbees,’ and this one sounds like a heck-ve-a-lota fun!  Pete’s Candy Store’s Spelling Bee with Bobbyblue and Jenisfamous happens
