Pencil This In

4-D MOVIE: Let the Bronx Zoo, Dora the Explorer, and Dora's pal Diego take you into the fourth dimension (James Cameron obviously didn't go far enough!). Protect the animals of the rainforest from the out-of-control Robot Butterfly with everyone's favorite Nickelodeon personalities in their newest romp: "Dora & Diego's 4-D Adventure." Experience wind, mist, enhanced floor lighting, and hopefully the opportunity to shout "Swiper no swiping!" in unison. Dora and Diego costumed characters will also be making special appearances throughout the weekend to celebrate the opening.

All Weekend // Bronx Zoo [2300 Southern Boulevard, Bronx] // $5 or part of Total Experience Ticket

MUSICAL COMEDY: Music and comedy are combined with pizzazz by two exuberant women performing at Galapagos Art Space today. Provocative and subversive, Adira Amram (with backing dancers The Experience) will sass and amuse her way into your heart (one has to look no further than her 2009 release, "Hot Jams for Teens," for proof). Carla Rhodes will showcase her quirky and comedic rock n' roll ventriloquy in an opera entitled "The Continuing Story of Carla Rhodes."

Friday // 7 p.m. // Galapagos Art Space [16 Main St, DUMBO] // $15

FILM: Rooftop Films' tradition of supporting and screening excellent independent films continues in their 2010 Summer Series. Today's offering is Dark Toons—a series of short films that reveal deep places of the unconscious containing our most intense emotions and, ultimately, common humanity. The program is dark and often bleak, but also creative and inspired (see titles such as "Let's Harvest the Organs of Death-Row Inmates"). More common humanity will be revealed at the afterparty, where drinks are free.

Friday // 8 p.m. // Open Road Rooftop [350 Grand St (above New Design High School)]; Afterparty at Fontana's [105 Eldridge St] // $10

FILM: Just like your love of Hanson, the 90's and obsession are combined in Obsessed in the 90's, a film series of movies made in the 90's and centered around obsessions that turned deadly. The screenings include trivia, special guests, drinking games, and other surprises. This Saturday the series begins with two opportunities to view Heavenly Creatures, Peter Jackson and Kate Winslet's early-career success, and a gorgeous story of intense friendship and fantasy.

Saturday // 7:30 p.m. & 10 p.m. // 92YTribeca [200 Hudson St] // $10

PARTY: Sunday Best brings together everything that's awesome about summer—barbecue, jams, sangria, and outdoor dancing—in their highly popular weekly gathering. Join them this Sunday at the leafy waterside lot on the banks of the Gowanus to kick-off their season and begin summer 2010. Resident DJs Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter will be providing sunny jams, other resident DJ Doug Singer's got gospel house covered, and special guest Michael Mayer will bring Germany's electronic music scene to the BK.

Sunday // 3 p.m. // BKLYN Yard [400 Carroll St, Gowanus] // $8 advance, $12 otherwise

UNDEAD FEST: Grab some fake blood, practice your groan, and join the living dead at the NYC Zombie Crawl. Designed to give zombie-lovers the most genuine experience possible (under NY law), the all-day event spans from McCarren Park to Knitting Factory Brooklyn and includes "zombification," zombie-themed games, pizza, and booze. It will be capped off by the afterparty (zombie burlesque, hot zombie contest, old-school-zombie-film mocking, and more!). Vacant eyes and outstretched arms are a must.

Sunday // 3 p.m. // The Charleston [174 Bedford Ave, Williamsburg] // Free Afterparty: 7 p.m. // Knitting Factory Brooklyn [261 Driggs Ave, Williamsburg] // $10 after 8 p.m.

FILM: While they're not rolling up the beach, it's clear that change has come to Coney Island. The most notable sign of this is the opening of Luna Park this weekend. To celebrate this event there will be a benefit preview of JL Aronson's documentary "Last Summer at Coney Island," a timely analysis of the redevelopment of Coney Island that delineates fact from rumor in the future of this American landmark, while documenting the relationships and culture that have influenced it. Beer, hot dogs, candy apples, and JL Aronson will be present.

Sunday // 7:30 p.m. // UnionDocs [322 Union Ave, Williamsburg] // $9-$20 suggested

PIG ROAST: Summer is officially here, and for most of us that means sweaty hipsters, booze and whole roasted animals. So what better place to embrace the new season than at Fatty Crab UWS, which is hosting an epic, all-inclusive Memorial Day Pig Roast. Starting in the afternoon, the outdoor café will be cleared out and the back room will pop open for a debauched indoor / outdoor block party. There will be a keg, passed raw bar selections (including clams, oysters, lobster and more), live music from Laura Kivlen, and a whole roasted pig for good measure.

Monday // 3 p.m. 'til ??? // Fatty Crab UWS [2170 Broadway @ 77th] // $29 for unlimited food, beer
