THEATER: Think small this weekend with Great Small Works’ Eighth International Toy Theater Festival and Contemporary Toy Theater Museum. The title is the biggest thing about this celebration of all things diminutive, in which innovate theater-makers work with miniature materials that will be further dwarfed by the cavernous environs of St. Ann’s Warehouse (conveniently located near the Telectroscope and the Brooklyn Bridge, which is celebrating 125 years all weekend). With over 100 artists involved, there......

For the past few years, Andrew W.K. and friends have been working at opening their venue at 100 Lafayette. Finally the space officially opens tonight, following a few days of confusing press. Yesterday it was reported that the original name of the space, Santa's Party House, was dropped for the simpler 100 Lafayette name; this came with a glitzy gold logo and promises of table service. Then W.K. himself cleared things up, saying the name......

Even though we haven't heard a new Andrew W.K. song since that party hard tune back in the day, he's always managed to pop up with new projects here and there. Last week we mentioned his performance at PIT, and it seems as though he'll be returning there in March. From their website: "Andrew WK: The Joy Trilogy. Rock god and party guerilla Andrew W.K. brings his free-form soulsearching to the PIT! Andrew will riff......

Gawker's music blog, Idolator, is here. At first glance it reads like an MLB.com writer and an EW writer are attempting to write about music...oh, wait. So far they have shed light on things that already have glaring spotlights on them, such as: blogs create buzz about bands, and sometimes those bands aren't worth the buzz! Nothing new there, though they promise to step in and "cover the people who are manufacturing the latest band......

Andrew WK discusses his newly released album, his forthcoming television show, rumored conspiracies, his childhood, and art, amongst other things. Tell me about the news you currently have on the front page of your website. For starters, about two weeks ago, July 6th, and a week ago, July 12th, we released a new album in Asia called Close Calls With Brick Walls. It's part of a series of three albums that will be released......

If you plan on hitting the clubs next week and taking part in the annual CMJ music binge, why not use the coming days to rest up, get some sleep and save your pennies? A week of rest woudln't hurt, would it? But it's not that easy. Not this week...though the shows are mostly big ticket events that will set you back a few bucks. The big names precede CMJ this year. Next week we'll......

Gothamist readers, summer (if you want to call it that) is almost over. The season of free, outdoor concerts--many of which were ruined due to rain--has passed. Time to go back indoors, into the clubs, for the best music in the city. The week ahead looks fairly decent. Sure beats the Olympics. When you think supergroups, don't think of Asia, the Velvet Revolver or the Three Tenors. Think of To Live and Shave in LA,......
