MUSIC: There's no better way to end the week by heading over to the Seaport Music Festival on a Friday evening. Sit on the pier with a glass of wine and watch some bands as the sun goes down. The water and ships provide the perfect summer backdrop. Tonight Fujiya & Miyagi will get you moving with some dance beats and Black Moth Super Rainbow will stick to the synth-rock.

Yeesh, there sure are a lot of new movies out this weekend. Choose wisely and you will be well rewarded.

Evil Dead: The Musical officially came to life this month at New World Stages; we caught the show in previews, in a house packed with Evil Dead fans who reveled in every campy moment. The first two rows are given Gallagheresque ponchos and by evening’s end the audience in this so-called “splatter zone” is bathed in enough blood to run the Red Cross for a month. (If you’re grossed out by the amount of blood in Act One, you’ll never make it through Act Two.)

In the last couple of weeks we've spent a lot of time covering the Warriors-- the game, the re-release of the DVD, etc-- but somehow, we missed a glaringly obvious angle. Queerty fills us in:

DOG PARADE: This Saturday head over to Tompkins Square Park, even if you are sans dog, and watch the Dog Run Halloween Party. Dressing up your pup in garb could win you an iPod nano.

When Weekend Gothamist was but a wee little 'ist our way home from elementary school meant getting off the bus at St. Marks and 2nd Ave every afternoon. For years we'd get off the bus, if we had one we'd spend a quarter or two at Gem Spa (oh if only we still collected Marvel trading cards), and walk home. And everyday on that walk home we would walk especially quickly past the awning of Love Saves the Day for fear that the sign in its window ("Unattended Children Will Be Sold Into Slavery") was more than just a joke (we're still not sure). It wasn't until we were much older and well passed our Rocky Horror phase that we could even get up the chutzpah to go into the store. But then we finally went in and we loved it as much as we knew we would (and then we loved it even more after the quirkily similar Little Ricky's, on Third and First, closed). So what a bummer it was to read in the Villager that Love Saves the Day, which has been open for nearly forty years and has been on Seventh and Second since 1983 will be closing its current location in January. So why is the shop, best known from that Madonna movie, closing? No surprises here, the rent went from $5000 a month to $15,000 a month, which would be incentive for us to shut up shop too.
