We'll be liveblogging the MTVU Woodie Awards tonight (hopefully Jared Leto won't break our blogging fingers) -- if you're looking for something else to do though, here are some suggestions...
READING: Spend an evening with Global City Review contributors Linsey Abrams, Fred Tuten, and Michelle Yasmine Valladare. The publication "celebrates the difficulties and possibilities of the 'global city' and other constructions of community...while honoring the subversiveness and originality of ordinary lives," and reflects on New York through stories, poems, memoirs, interviews and more.
7pm // McNally Robinson [52 Prince St] // Free
THEATER: The Debate Society is one of the most exciting theater companies in town; under the imaginative direction of Oliver Butler, the highly nuanced acting of Paul Thureen and Hannah Bos takes on a mesmerizing quality. (Nathan Leigh’s superb sound design doesn’t hurt either.) Their most recent production, The Eaten Heart, seriously whet our appetites for more from the collective; happily, they’re reviving their first collaboration, A Thought About Raya, which was a hit in ’04. (Pictured.) The play is developed from the writings of Soviet-era absurdist Daniil Kharms. Blink and miss it – the production is back for three nights only. It’s accompanied by an accordion pre-show “and certainly a pickle reception.” – John Del Signore
8pm // Brick Theater [575 Metropolitan Ave, Williamsburg] // Tickets cost $15
MUSIC: If you want to check out our interviewee, Debbie Harry, tonight -- tickets are still on sale for just under $60. A hefty price... but you'll be seeing the one and only legendary Blondie (albeit, without that exact band).
7:30pm // Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza [17 Irving Place] // $48.50+
After a sold out show last night, there are still tickets on sale for Pylon this evening. This time around at Music Hall of Williamsburg, with openers Oxford Collapse and a few others.
Listen: The Boys Go Home.mp3 - Oxford Collapse
8pm // Music Hall of Williamsburg [66 N 6th St, Williamsburg] // $12+
COMEDY: We're about mid-way through the New York Comedy Festival week and Louis CK takes the Town Hall stage as part of the fest tonight. Catch the former Late Night writer and buy tickets here.
8pm // Town Hall [123 W 43rd St] // $30+
