MUSIC: We'll be at Gothamist House all day today and tomorrow, so come on by. This evening however you may want to consider heading over to see Ghostland Observatory (one half of which played our Gothamist House earlier this week), who are in town playing Webster Hall tonight. Put on your dancing pants and get ready for a laser light show like you've never seen. Check out their performance on Conan O'Brien from earlier this week. Tickets available here.

Friday // 7:30pm // Webster Hall // $20

THEATER: Say Your Prayers, Mug! is at once a breezy send-up of old ‘30s gangster movies and an homage to those old TV shows in the ‘50s that used to broadcast them. In this case, the show is Sunrise Cinema, a weird mix of morning talk show and movie screening, hosted by Skip Rayburn and Dottie Haines. (Dottie is played by the playwright and director of the play, Todd Michael, in drag.) The “film” they introduce and interrupt with their awkward banter is performed by an amusing gang of live actors, who fire-off a fast-paced story of mobsters, cops, nightclub singers and private detectives. Martin Denton says the “jokes come pretty much non-stop and the ambiance is relaxed and cheerful: it would be tough not to have a good time at this show.” – John Del Signore

Friday // 8pm // The Red Room [85 E 4th St] // Tickets cost $18.

200710art.jpgART: Art Ate New York is a joint effort exhibit put on by Artists Wanted, The Danger and 3rd Ward. Tonight come by to check out "new work from a dozen artists discovered through the Artists Wanted art call. Expect a dazzling array of inspired renegade art, live mural painting by Overspray Magazine, interactive installations and funk-infused hip-hop by dj Grimace and Justin Carter. Plus, free Red Bull martinis, cheap beer and...need we say more? (Pictured: Artwork by Thomas Beale.)

Friday // 7pm to 1am // Red Bull Gallery [40 Thompson St at Broome] // Free

ZOMBIECON: If Zombie Yoga wasn't enough to fulfill your little undead hearts, head over to Zombiecon this weekend. Get on some tattered clothes, fuel yourself with bloody marys, and freak out the tourists as the zombie troupes takeover the subways, sidewalks and whatever the heck else they want to.

Saturday // Details TBA, RSVP here

MUSIC: My Open Bar and IHeartComix is getting all Anti-CMJ on us with a party that refuses to celebrate the music fest that's been happening all week. The line up is sweet and includes: Lo-Fi-Fnk, Totally Michael, The Toxic Avenger, Juiceboxxx, Dre Skull, Franki Chan, Hearts Revolution, Flufftronix, Wyld Stallonez, and a Dreamburger DJ set. And if My Open Bar is involved, you know there's free beer to be had.

Saturday // 6 to 11pm // Europa [98 Meserole Ave, Brooklyn] // Free

THEATER: Get yourself down to Townville for some late night theater fun on East Fourth Street. There’ll be a live band onstage and a talented team of actors eager to tell the creepy tale of an artist’s community in the grips of an authoritarian government. “In Townville everyone works hard by day to run the town, then makes art when the sun goes down. When Townville’s enigmatic government requests a play to be performed for the highest authorities themselves, a new theatre director arrives with a whole new vision for Townville’s upcoming performance. And as Townville’s population starts disappearing, life-or-death choices must be made if its residents want to live freely – or at all.”– John Del Signore

Saturday // 10pm // La MaMa [74A E 4th St] // Tickets cost $15.

EVENT: Ignite What's Next is going down this Sunday with two events. During the day check out street artists David Choe, Saber, and Retna paint a wall on Bedford Avenue. Then head over to the party, with Deejays The Captain, Equal, Code-D, and more. Did we mention the free Sparks?

Sunday // 3pm and 9pm // Lawanna's [196 Bedford Ave, Brooklyn] and Sputnik Bar [262 Taaffe Place, Brooklyn] // Free
