08pieeatingstandbyme.jpgMOVIE: This is the second summer screening around town of Stand By Me, but it deserves two showings in one season. Head over to Tompkins Square Park after work to catch Gordie Lachance & Co.; the movie was based on Stephen King's story, The Body. If you forgot how much you loved this movie, watch the trailer.

6 p.m. // Tompkins Square Park // Free

BBQ: Join the Finger on the Pulse crew as they serve up one final portion of BBQ for the summer. Sam Mason (of Dinner With The Band and Tailor) will be preparing a feast, guest djs will be at the decks, and the Heartschallanger Ice Cream Truck will be parked outside. There will also be a $5 drink special that includes a beer and a shot of Le Tourment Vert Absinthe.

7 to 11 p.m. // Hope Lounge [10 Hope St, Williamsburg] // Free, $5 BBQ

MUSIC: Our interviewees, The Virgins, are at Santos' Party House tonight, but there's also the Passion Pit (we warned you to get tickets last week) over at Pianos. Get there early unless you want to be stuck in the hallway watching.

7:30 p.m. // Pianos [158 Ludlow St] // $8

THEATER: The excellent Ontological Incubator series is almost over; this week's penultimate production is Heavenly Robe, Carmonk and Blackhole, in which Japanese artist Yuto Kurosaka leads the group Y + Utopia "in a video and dance infused work, utilizing classical Japanese Noh and Kyogen archetypes by turns sexy, funny and grotesque. Heavenly Robe, Carmonk and Blackhole plays with the fantastical and obsessed Noh characters, Angel, Devil and Demon Lady. Dance can be found in the video, shot in Japan (which includes the extraordinary Noh performer, Norikazu Konparu), as well as onstage." – John Del Signore

8 p.m. // Ontological Theater at St. Mark's Church [131 East 10th Street] // $17

    I wouldn't brag about that. It speaks volumes about who you really are.

    I love this movie. Back when before DVDs, I took the movie out of a rented VHS case and replace it with a cheap recorded copy. I love it that much!

    I recently re-watched this and it still holds up pretty well.

    I loved how on the Bob Saget roast, people were making fun of John Stamos by saying "Rebecca Romijn is now married to the fat kid from Stand By Me!"
