Pencil This In

EVENT: BKLYN DESIGNS 2007 kicks off today. The design expo will not only provide the latest trends and lots of fabulous things for your home - but all day panel discussions, interviews and of course parties, after parties and much more.

All Weekend // St. Ann's Warehouse [38 Water St, Brooklyn] // $12 per day

THEATER: Porn star-cum-performance artist Annie Sprinkle returns to the New York stage with her artistic and domestic partner Elizabeth M. Stephens in Exposed: Experiments in Love, Sex, Death & Art. Sprinkle gained wide renown in the 80s with her seminal solo show Post Porn Modernist, in which the audience was invited to individually view her cervix using a speculum and flashlight during a "Public Cervix Announcement”. This time around, spectators are encouraged to voice their opinions on gay marriage and expose a breast for a photo series, among other things. But the bulk of the evening concerns Sprinkle’s long partnership with Stephens and her struggle with breast cancer. The Village Voice says, “Sprinkle and Stephens take dippy California mysticism and dime-store audience-participation tricks and somehow transmute them into hope.” - John Del Signore

Friday // 7:30pm & 10pm // Collective Unconscious [279 Church St] // Tickets cost $30.

ART?: Remember that Paris Hilton Autopsy we were talking about not so long ago? Tonight is the opening reception for the "educational" work of "art". Be sure to know your side of the "Free Paris" debate, we're sure it'll be a hot topic tonight.

Friday // 6 to 9pm // Capla Kesting Fine Art [121 Roebling St, Brooklyn] // Free

RALLY: After you add Obama to your MySpace friends, head over to Obamathon to celebrate and raise funds for Obama's presidential campaign. "Friends will be joining together to picnic, enjoy live music, and learn more about Senator Obama." Bonus: face painting and cotton candy (well, for kids)!

Saturday // 11am // Battery Park // Free

MUSIC: O'Death (pictured) are joined by Artranker Convoy, Standing Nudes, Tomorrow's Friends. Next time the former plays these parts will be mid-June for their cd release show, so get your fill til then!

Saturday // 9pm // Glasslands [289 Kent Avenue, Brooklyn] // Price TBA

THEATER: In his solo show I Land, actor and award-winning hula dancer Keo Woolford fuses hula, hip-hop, traditional Hawaiian talk story and spoken word to propel this semi-autobiographical tale of culture clash. Woolford, a native Hawaiian, has some great stories about growing up in Hawaii, his charmed life in a popular boy band and his subsequent downward spiral into substance abuse. Martin Denton says Woolford is also “an extraordinary dancer” and calls his climactic performance of the hula in traditional costume “stunning.” ENDS SUNDAY. - John Del Signore

Sunday // 3pm // The Culture Project [55 Mercer St] // Tickets cost $38.

MUSIC: Fat Baby Leg performs "a set filled with such prestige and more illuminated manuscripts than this world has ever seen," as part of Surf Reality Faceboyz night. Check out songs on his Myspace (linked above), and more importantly, check out this genius clip from Stars of Tomorrow. Travis Barker loves him (the other guy...not so much)!

Sunday // 9pm // Mo Pitkin's [34 Ave A] // $4
