Stuff Happening in New York that is Preferably Free, But Most Likey Not

The strongest critique of my bloq (that I give myself because the extent of my readership include people like my Mom who will basically says, "That's nice" to about anything I do) is lack of structure and consistency. There are some that might argue that is my greatest critique as a functioning member of society. So, I will try to devote a post a week to, "Stuff Happening in New York that is Preferably Free, But Most Likey Not."

Dance/Yoga/Fitness: If you are in Brooklyn on Saturday afternoons, Get Your Dance On is a very special dance party at the Brooklyn Bowl. No shoes, no talking, just dancing to a DJ from 4-7 pm sans hangover, drugs, and late night/early morning cab rides home. This is just about the dancin'.

Alvin Ailey Extention is also introducing a Saturday morning Masala Bhangra class from 10:35-11:35 so you can go and experience what I am always talking about. Stay tuned for the next workout video, staring me as background dancer number 3. This week I'll be taking the 11:30 West African class to let loose.

BEings/Flexicurve Dance Companies are performing for free at City Center Studios 130 West 56th Street, fourth floor. 10 pm. Lots of skinny rolling around to Tom Waits and other weird sounds.

10 Dollar Dance: Danspance, Stam-Pede (this looks awesome) at Symphony Space Sunday@ 3pm.

Theatre: Under the Radar (part of NY Public Theater) is having a free performing arts show running Saturday/9th through Tuesday/12th called This Fable is Intended for You: A Work-Energy Principle. It is about people finding connections in Lower Manhattan. It also requires a trip to Lower Manhattan, the World Financial Center Winter Garden. Check out all of the performances though. I'm going to see Chautauqua! because MJ is a religious studies fanatic, but there were others that look sick (and cheap), including an interpretation of Murakami's Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, a guy with puppets, and the beautiful Martha Graham Company dancers.

Music: I WOULD LOVE to see The Fishtank Ensemble perform. Gypsy flamenco jazz music. Right up my alley. There are a few free shows this weekend. I want to shoot for Sunday night 10pm at Kafana, very mysteriously exciting.

Etcetera: Want to see me pantless? Do the Improv Everywhere No Pants Subway Ride with me tomorrow!


Richard Price discusses Lush Life at the Upper East Side Barnes and Noble (86th and Lex) this Monday night 7 pm. I will be there. I did a book review on Lush Life on this blog. Do you think he read it?
