Pencil This In

THEATER: John Fugelsang, the son of an ex-nun and a former monk, declares war on right-wing evildoers in his one man comedy All the Wrong Reasons. Targets include sex, politics, Klansmen, stem cells and the drug war (which Fugelsang recently skewered on the Huffington Post.) Theater blogger What’s Good/What Blows raves: “…once he settles in to tell the story of trying to get through Orlando airport with an 1/8th of weed in his sock and another 1/8th in his girlfriend's bra, you're pretty much on the edge of your seat till the end. He even throws in some touching realizations. This is a great evening to take a date to.” - John Del Signore

Friday // 8pm // New York Theater Workshop [79 E 4th St] // Tickets cost $50

MUSIC: Todd P is throwing it down at Asterisk tonight with (recent tour journalists) The Forms, Giant Squid, Two Ton Boa, 31 Knots and Grayceon. Two stages, cheap beer, an outdoor area and...Bushwick! What more could you ask for on a Friday night?

Listen: Stravinsky.mp3 - The Forms

Love Is.mp3 - Grayceon

Friday // 8pm // Asterisk [258 Johnson Ave, Brooklyn] // $8

ART: Brooklyn-based artist Daniel Krieger's '8 Dreams' opens this weekend. The photo exhibit features a series of "arresting sleep/dream diptychs that explore the disconnect between physical and emotional experiences during sleep."

Saturday // 7pm // MiniBar [482 Court St, Brooklyn] // Free

EVENT: It's a loft party...set in 1988! Music supplied by deejays Justin Carter, Flagranti, Akalepse, the Vintage DJ and more. "Plus classic battles of spraycan vs. poster art, breakers vs. poppers, nintendo vs. atari, and NYC now vs. 20 years past…”

Saturday // 10pm // 3rd Ward [195 Morgan Ave, East Williamsburg]

THEATER: The Emerging Artists Theatre (EAT) polishes off their eighth annual festival of new plays this weekend. Each play is on the shorter side and presented with two others in three cryptically-named groups – A, B, and C – and performed in repertory through Sunday. Jo Ann Rosen calls series C – comprised of three plays – a “lively” hour-and-twenty minutes. And New York magazine has some suggestions while you peruse the menu. - John Del Signore

Saturday // Various Times // Theater 5 [311 West 43rd St, 5th floor] // Tickets cost $18

MUSIC: Les Savy Fav and The Big Sleep are at Bowery Ballroom Sunday. The show is a benefit for one of LSF's close friends. Incase you've never seen them live, watch this video from their show at McCarren Park Pool this summer:



Oh, and singer Tim Harrington brought sexy back way before JT.

Sunday // 8pm // Bowery Ballroom [6 Delancey St] // $18 (tickets available here)

If you're on Atlantic Avenue Saturday or Sunday afternoon, Magnetic Field has free afternoon shows as part of the Power Pop festival that's in town. Inside, unfortunately.
