Pencil This In

EVENT: The Greenwich Village Antiquarian Book Sale is going on all weekend, so now is the time to go searching for that first edition you've been wanting on your bookshelf. You'll also find out of print books, maps and much more!

ART: Monday's interviewee, James Top, shows off his work tonight at the opening of his first solo NYC show, titled Afrology. The opening is open to the public; he said of his show “I take great pride in capturing what I feel is the African American experience in America. It is my time not only to be the voice of graffiti art but also to be the voice of the people in my community.”

Friday // 6pm to Midnight // Essex Street Gallery [27 1/2 Essex St] // Free

THEATER: Brick Theater co-founder Michael Gardner has revived his “startling” stage adaptation of Dostoevsky’s Notes from Underground, which he unveiled nearly ten years ago at the New York Fringe festival. But set your dating status to "In a Relationship" ladies, because the Underground Man finally has a MySpace page! The production features four actors voicing the participants in the Underground Man’s story, while Robert Honeywell, in the main role, fires back with all the lacerating mania that made Dostoevsky’s anti-hero so distinct. A richly designed soundtrack of Russian tavern songs and string quartets punctuates the derangement. “Limited and uncomfortable seating” is promised, but don’t take the last bit seriously; the Brick is comfortable and free beer goes with your donation. – John Del Signore

Friday // 8pm // Brick Theater [575 Metropolitan Ave, Williamsburg] // Tickets cost $15

MUSIC: Shut out of The National show, again? Head over to Union Hall for a night with ex-Dismemberment Plan's Travis Morrison, A Sunny Day in Glasgow and Scarce. Give a listen to Travis's solo stuff here -- then buy your ticket before they sell out!

Saturday // 8pm // Union Hall [702 Union St, Park Slope] // $10

THEATER: Imminence, an ambitious multimedia production by The Talking Band, considers the way time slows, stops, bends and unravels, as viewed through a prism of music, live and recorded video, dance and theater. Their set also ruptures down the middle, exposing a “jagged chasm between its two hemispheres” that only widens as the action unfolds; though Claudia La Rocco, writing for the Times, says the best parts are the quiet moments, such as choreographer Hilary Easton’s “awkward tango of seduction for two tentative, unlikely lovers.” Written and directed by Paul Zimet, the time-shattering tour through three generations of a single family begins when Simone’s mother dies, prompting her to take her twenty year old daughter on a cross-country car trip to visit her parents’ first home in Coney Island. – John Del Signore

Saturday // 7:30pm // La MaMa [74A East 4th St] // Tickets cost $18

EVENT: Keith Sanbornevsky and Peggy Ahweshinskaya present their new work on Comrade Dziga Vertov, titled VERTOV from Z to A.
