Pencil This In

FARM: WORK Architecture Company's PF1 project plants an urban farm in Queens. Public Farm One will be on display at P.S.1 starting tonight; the concept "evokes the look of a flying carpet landing in the P.S.1 courtyard. Constructed from large cardboard tubes, its top surface will be a working farm, blooming with a variety of vegetables and plants. The structure will create a textured, colorful, and constantly changing surface in contrast with P.S.1’s angular concrete and gravel courtyard." More details here.

Friday // P.S. 1 [22-25 Jackson Ave, Long Island City] // Free

MUSIC: Ponytail take the stage at midnight following sets by Woods, Pocahaunted and Robedoor at a mysterious arts space called Less Artists More Condos in Manhattan.

Friday // 8 p.m. // Less Artists More Condos [132 W 3rd St]

FOOD: Counter Organic Wine & Martini Bar is going green with its firs annual Green Spirit Festival. Not only can you taste over 25 organic and "earth-friendly" spirits (which will make you feel good in one way), but the proceeds from your admission will benefit the Growing Connection and Solar One (which will make you feel good in another way). Bad for the liver, perhaps, but good for the planet! - Laren Spirer

Saturday // 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. // Counter Organic Wine & Martini Bar [105 First Avenue] // $20

MERMAIDS: This weekend will be packed with mermaid activity on Coney Island, with both the Parade and the Ball taking place on Saturday (prior to the Mermaid Queen going on a hunger strike). In the early 1900s Coney Island held a Mardi Gras parade, and since 1983 they've been hosting the Mermaid Parade, come join in on the march, before heading to the ball later that night (more details on that here).

Saturday // 2 p.m. // Starting point: West 10th Street and the Boardwalk // Free

MUSIC: As part of the Make Music NY festival taking place Saturday, the bloggers who curate the After the Jump shows have pretty much taken over N 6th Street in Williamsburg. The full schedule can be found here, but get psyched for bands like Bell, Pattern is Movement, The Forms, Pela, Titus Andronicus, Health and about 24 others.

Saturday // Noon // N 6th Street, Music Hall of Williamsburg, Galapagos // Early show: Free, Late show: $10

BUBBLES: The Bubble Battle returns to New York this weekend, and this time around it's taking over Times Square. Millions of bubbles will clutter the air of the tourist-filled location, be sure to add to them with your own bubble generator! Fun fact: the event is "loosely based on the Dr. Seuss Classic The Butter Battle Book."

Saturday // 6:21 p.m. // W 47th & 7th Ave // Free

THEATER: Sally Oswald’s elaborately plotted comic melodrama Vendetta Chrome is set “in the '90s. The 1890s. And poor Vendetta has always been a bit behind the rest of the girls in her elocution class. But now it's up to her to save her school, her family, and herself—and it's all in the dance moves." The story has something to do with Vendetta’s troubles at her bizarre boarding school, which has just been bought by her father, who owes money to the mob and wants to marry the elocution teacher. Then a mysterious fortune teller appears? Who knows, but this is the work of the very reliable Clubbed Thumb, and Kelly Aliano calls it “profound, hilarious and ingenious.” – John Del Signore

Saturday // 8 p.m. // The Ohio Theater [66 Wooster Street] // $18

FOOD: MoveOn.org is organizing "Hungry For Change" bake sales across the country to support their work to help elect Obama to the White House. Food blogger Tiny Banquet is hosting hers on Saturday from 1 to 7 at Hanger Bar in the East Village (3rd St. between Ave. B and C), but there are plenty of others throughout the city on Saturday and Sunday. Visit the Hungry for Change site to find the one closest to you. - Laren Spirer

Saturday and Sunday // various times and locations

THEATER: Remember the Brick Theater’s Film Festival: A Theater Festival that started three weeks ago? It’s still unspooling, and a few of the shows just got a great big review in the Voice. Garrett Eisler, no pushover, heaps particular praise on Suspicious Package: An Interactive Noir, which “sends you and three others out onto Metropolitan Avenue with nothing but a period-costume item and a handheld Zune media player, which beams both stage and street directions into your earphones and pre-filmed segments onto your palm-sized screen.” And when you buy a ticket, you simultaneously cast yourself in the thriller as either the Detective, Producer, Heiress or Showgirl. – John Del Signore

Sunday // By appointment throughout the day starting at 4 p.m. // The Brick Theater [575 Metropolitan Avenue, Williamsburg] // $20

ART: A citywide installation called TRASH: anycoloryoulike has been traveling the streets of Manhattan. "Standard piles of trash in select city blocks wil be replaced with new artist-created bags featuring a pink and polka dot design. Each bag is 100 percent biodegradable and scented to repel insects and vermin." The bags pictured were installed in front of the Pink Pony on the LES, and this Sunday a new pink pile of trash will be dropped onto the sidewalk on nearby Rivington Street.

Sunday // 5 p.m. to Noon // Rivington St between Suffolk and Allen // Free
