things to do this week
Jun. 14th, 2004 02:46 pmtonight: lizzy's make out mondays at lit, 2nd avenue between 5th and 6th streets, 10 pm, free. fischerspooner's one-of-a-kind song-and-dance gal lizzy yoder and her pals rock the ones and twos downstairs at this diverting east village dive, striking another blow for musical anarchy. pucker up!
wednesday: bloomsday on broadway at symphony space, broadway at 95th street, noon to midnight, $18 (students $16). this annual marathon celebration of james joyce's ulysses features a cast of more than 100 actors performing and reading passages from the great novel. i figure i'll go for a little while and see if i understand the book better when someone reads it TO me.
also wednesday: invite them up at rififi, 11th avenue between 1st and 2nd streets, 8 pm, $5. eugene mirman and bobby tisdale host stand-up, sketches, films and readings. i saw eugene mirman at that last comedy show i went to. he's really funny and makes pretty funny short films.
thursday: the emerging comics of new york awards at the laugh lounge, essex between rivington and stanton, 8pm, $10 and 2 drink minimum. discover which up-and-coming comedians are about to bust through the roof of alternative clubs at this second annual awards show dedicated solely to emerging talent.
also thursday: radio free misanthropy, WBAR barnard college radio, noon to 2pm. yay, my first show of the summer! Look forward to songs by the bravery, le tigre, guns 'n' roses, and division of laura lee, among many others.
friday: rock and rollerskate at office ops, knickerbocker and thames in east williamsberg (morgan street L stop), 9 pm, $5. skate circles around these bands! they don't care, they're in a cage. live music by man in gray, the atomic missiles, and morning theft. in between band sets league radio deejays will knock your socks off. in the bunny skate room DJ dreemy is wheels a' steeling your heart. skates are limited, so come early, or you're welcome to bring your own.
saturday: the bravery with benzos, dirty on purpose, and sons of sound, at mercury lounge, houston street at essex, 8:30 pm (bravery goes on at 11:30), $8. i'm obsessed with seeing the bravery, because i really like the mp3s i got off their website.
