We can't possibly choose only one music event for the weekend, so check out OhMyRockness for the jam packed weekend listings. We will say, however, that one of the openers for Snowden at Maxwell's tonight...is We Are Scientists, trying out some new tunes. Though closer to home are The Clientele and Beach House at Bowery Ballroom. Listen: Apple Orchard.mp3 - Beach House THEATER: A mysterious little two-actor, umpteen character play called The Eaten Heart concludes......

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 (The Prophet of Zongo Street) and poet Wyn Cooper (Stories From the Interior), will actually be held on the roof deck at Clay, the spa next door to Paragraph on 14th street. Wine and cheese......

MUSIC: The Upper Crust are playing a proletarian downtown venue tonight! These four young nobleman will Rocque and Roll you with a polished AC/DC-esque sound. Do check them out, seriously. That is them to the right. We don't think we really need say anymore. Friday // 11:30pm // Knitting Factory [74 Leonard St] // $10 ART: Removal Satisfies the Condition is the latest PublicAdCampaign exhibit, and it's opening tonight. This city's public environment is filled......

For a little while now, Barbès in Park Slope has been Brooklyn's equivalent to Cinema Classics/Riffifi: a bar with a back room performance space showing different kinds of classic and interesting cinema once a week on a 16 mm projector. Oh yeah .. and it's free. The technology might not be as good as the more standard repertory houses around town, but the programming is usually fairly interesting. Cinema Classics/Riffifi has turned their Monday screenings......

Three times a year, comedians and comedy writers gather before a live, drunk audience to showcase 5-minute film shorts. SPOILER, a film project run by a creative bunch of rowdy, young filmmakers and emerging comics, feels more like a party than it does a festival. This SPOILER's theme is "Action" and features standup by Slovin & Allen (SNL writers) and Andrea Rosen (Comedy Central's Stella), films by Aziz Ansari (Comedian, Filmmaker), Late Night Ritalin,......

Aziz Ansari, Comedian...

Eugene Mirman and Bobby Tisdale serve up the laughs tonight at their weekly series, Invite Them Up. We always love Eugene (check out his website for more from this baby), and tonight he has a stellar cast of characters joining him. On the bill are Patrick Borelli (another Gothamist fave), Eric Slovin (SNL writer, and half of comedy team Slovin and Allen), James Patterson, Arj Barker and former Slate-ist and star of Wet Hot......

Todd Barry, Comedian...

If you don't have any plans tonight, it might be tough to choose between two that Gothamist thinks should rate high on anyone's list: How can one choose between Amanda Stern's Happy Ending Reading Series, with readings from Aaron Hamburger, Shelley Jackson, and Molly Ringwald, or Eugene Mirman and Bobby Tisdale's Invite them Up at Cinema Classics, with Brian Husky, Todd Barry (ask him if he ate any dingoes while in Australia!), and Partrick Borelli......
