Pencil This In

TIP: According to Paper's Mr. Mickey, Chloë Sevigny is having a tag sale on her block this Saturday. We're guessing there will be lots of vintage Balenciaga. Check out her apartment in House & Garden...pretty nice!

EVENT: The Howl Festival (which took last year off) continues on throughout the weekend. Tomorrow around 2pm you can catch Moby with his band The Little Death in Tompkins Square Park. Check out the full schedule here.

All Weekend // Details here

MOVIE: Al Pacino's flick Cruising is screening tonight. In the 1980 flick he plays a police detective that goes undercover "in the sleazy and underground gay subculture of New York City to catch a serial killer who is murdering numerous gay men with S&M tactics." Get it...he's cruising for a killer.

4:30, 7 and 9:40pm // Regal E-Walk Stadium 13 [247 W 42nd St] // $11

THEATER: Eugène Sue’s 19th century serial novel The Mysteries of Paris has been seen as one of the forces behind the 1848 revolution, though not by Marx; he dismissed it as “the worst kind of bourgeois sentimental trash.” But writer/director Normandy Sherwood “isn't ashamed to say that she likes it for all the colorful cuss words and endless plot-hatching.” She’s staging it as a “guttersnipe melodrama that follows the exploits of the unlucky Goualeuse, the mysterious Rudolph and the true-hearted slasher as they try to fend off villains at every turn.” Salty sailor dancing and ornate puppet pageantry are promised. The presentation, which rounds out the Ontological Theater’s well-programmed Summer Series, is preceded by Dances of Depravity, “a dancing lexicon of murderous movements and lustful acts.” – John Del Signore

Friday // 8pm & 10:30pm // Ontological Theater at St. Mark's Church [131 E 10th St] // Tickets cost $15.

MUSIC: The Epochs and The Sister Lovers are at Club Midway tonight for a late, late, late show. Or early, depending on when you go out. Be sure to catch The Epochs -- they're good for both winding down and starting up your night!

Listen: Mouths to Feed.mp3 - The Epochs

Friday // 11:30pm // Club Midway [25 Avenue B] // $5

ART: The Art Parade is back for a third year. The route will begin on Houston and follow West Broadway, ending on Grand Street. Expect artists, performers and designers showing off their floats, placards, portable sculptures, kites, performances and other various street spectacles!

Saturday // 4pm // West Broadway

EVENT: Brownstoner is holding a Salvage Fest this weekend. In addition to the vendors listed here, they've got the kids from P.S. 11 selling a food and drinks to raise money for the school. Build It Green will be collecting building-supply donations as well...so come on down!

Saturday (rain date: Sunday) // 10am to 4pm // P.S. 11 Clinton Hill, Brooklyn

MUSIC: Our tour journalists Au Revoir Simone take the Mercury Lounge stage tonight along with Oh No! Oh My!, Hallelujah the Hills and Peaks and Valleys. A highly recommended night at Merc. Give a listen to two of the four:

Through the Backyards.mp3 - Au Revoir Simone

Monster Eyes.mp3 - Hallelujah the Hills

Saturday // 8pm // Mercury Lounge // $12

THEATER: The Curse of the Mystic Renaldo The (which we reviewed after seeing it at 3LD last April) was perhaps the funniest, wildest and most memorable theatrical romp of the season. The strange alt-rock spectacle swirls around the invincible ghost of jilted aristocrat Renaldo The, played by Aldo Perez, and his farcical pursuit of his maid, played with irresistible aplomb by Jenny Lee Mitchell. Only Renaldo’s treacherous valet, Richard Ginocchio stands between him and the object of his desire. Tonight Renaldo’s journey continues in The Further Mis-Adventures of the Mystic Reynaldo The, in which “a flawed search for the meaning of life meets art house musical cabaret and film noir with no pretension about being totally pretentious.” – John Del Signore

Saturday // 8pm // Dixon Place [258 Bowery, 2nd Floor] // Tickets cost $15.

COMEDY: Comedy kicks more ass than usual this weekend as SummerSlamMania comes to town! We're most looking forward to team Con Edison masquerading as the Insane Clown Posse (pictured) -- what better way to entice their opponents who are goth mallrats that go by the name Hot Topic?!

Saturday // 12am // UCB Theater [307 W 26th St] // $5

MUSIC: Sunday brings the inaugural LudFest! The block party will feature the Secret Machines, A Place to Bury Strangers, Emok, Dub Trio, Sugar Report, Mofo, Other Passengers, and Ruthless Thomas. The party will raise money for the Seventh Precinct Community Council. The Secret Machines are now a duo, so check out the thinned out band with what's sure to be a slightly different sound.

Sunday // 12 to 8pm // Ludlow St between Stanton and Rivington // Free
