We mentioned the Billyburg Short Film Festival last week as something worth checking out. However, it ended up being cancelled due to the insane amounts of rain that poured down. So we wanted to draw extra special attention to it now, since it's back on...tonight!

READING: The wonderful Paragraph, a downtown writers' haven, is hosting a roof deck reading, which is a pretty sweet way to get a good view and some good stories at the same time. The reading, which features Mohammed Naseeu Ali (), will actually be held on the roof deck at Clay, the spa next door to Paragraph on 14th street. Wine and cheese at Paragraph will follow the reading. - Krissa Corbett Cavouras

One of the most well respected and truly underground bands in New York, Japanther rarely play traditional venues. You find them in warehouses, lofts, restaurants, basements, bedrooms, bathrooms...anywhere you can squeeze two guys, a bit of equipment, and a mass of sweaty fans. The Bass and Drum Art/Noise/Punk duo are one of the most revered live acts in New York, and this weekend we have two chances to see them. On Saturday, they are playing the Billyburg Short Film Festival at McCarren Pool with MC Michael Showalter. Then Sunday they're playing The Solar-Powered CitySol Festival at Stuyvesant Cove Park. Make it your beeswax to get to one of these shows.
