    Early fall is quite possibly the best time to live in New York City, as the oppressive heat eases and the worst of winter is still far away. Whether you're looking to make the most of some outdoor food festivals, take in some anthemic instrumental rock, get dolled up in drag, or keep cozy inside a movie theater, there's so much worth doing this month that the calendar might fall off the wall. Or your calendar app might crash. Whichever. Time to make plans!

    With a dress code that's been dubbed "future funk fashion" and art works that pay homage to Manhattan's '70s gay party scene, Antonio Lopez: A Photo Cocktail Party is your first can't-miss fall gallery show. Hosted as a pop-up installation at the Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art's satellite space, the weekend-long exhibition will pay homage to Lopez, the famous Puerto Rican-born Vogue and Harper's Bazaar illustrator. There will be refreshments, an old large-format polaroid photo booth, and crowds of beautifully strange people. If you can't make it, or are keen to check out even more of Lopez's work, El Museo del Barrio is currently showing an entire exhibit's worth through Thanksgiving.Reception Friday, September 9th, 6-8 p.m. // Gallery on display Saturday-Sunday, September 10-11th, 12-6 p.m. // Leslie+Lohman Prince Street Project, 127-B Prince Street, Manhattan // Free
    Yes, Charlize Theron pretty much vaporized Mel Gibson's bigoted ass with her performance in Max Max: Fury Road, but the original film trilogy is still worth watching for its wild action sequences and creeping dystopian dread. The third film, 1985's Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome hardly ever gets enough credit, but this month Videology will feature it with pride at a midnight showing. In the film, Max finds an evil town ruled by his nemesis, and goes on to become a gladiator who teams up with desert nomads to smash evil to arid smithereens. Masterful in its pacing and still convincing in its special effects, it's a half-kitschy '80s thrill ride that should pair great with a cocktail and is a steal at only $5.Friday, September 9th, 11:59 p.m. // Videology, 308 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn // Tickets $5
    Full disclosure: Gothamist is presenting Brooklyn Night Bazaar's special re-opening weekend. That decision was an easy one: the party's new digs at a historic Greenpoint banquet hall are going to make everything better with additional arcade space, private karaoke rooms, and music rooms that promise much-improved acoustics and sight lines. On Friday, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah will headline with support from The Skells and Babetown. Saturday's lineup is a punk blowout that features Pissed Jeans, Surfbort, and Nap. If you go you'll have the chance to sample the Bazaar's new in-house restaurant, multiple bars, ping pong, mini-golf, and bizarre people watching. It was sad to see the party go, but now it's coming back better than ever.Firday and Saturday, September 9th and 10th, 7 p.m. // Brooklyn Night Bazaar, 150 Greenpoint Avenue, Brooklyn // Friday Tickets $20, Saturday Tickets $8
