Friday:
 · Money ain't a thang. Unless you're shoegazing New York chamber-rockers Sea Ray, that is. Then it's an unfortuante cause for a breakup. The kids are callin it quits after eight years in the indie biz, so bid them adieu at Mercury Lounge tonight. [Mercury Lounge]
· Test your coolness baromoter and try to get into the "private" show of Austin-based Pitchfork darlings And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead at Rothko. [Rothko]
· Bloomberg spawn Emma and Vogue editor Sally Singer throw an iceskating party out in Brooklyn to benefit the Prospect Park Junior Commitee, whatever the fuck that is. Make sure to keep the skate blades away from any Vogue underlings required to be in attendance. [WUNY]
Saturday:
 · Reps from the Onion, Soft Skull press, and Blakkat join a bevy of other artists at OfficeOps in Billyburg for the "And So Forth" assembly, where they discuss the ways that art can bring about social change. Good luck with that. [AIFP]
· When a band has members named Pony, Achilles, and Sanchez, you might want to check 'em out. The stage-named boys of The Fever bring their catchy indie blend of synth-punk to the Bowery Ballroom tonight. [BB]
Sunday:
 · Will the Philadelphia Eagles lose their 4th straight NFC title game? Are the Pats poised for their 3rd Superbowl in the Bill Bilichick era? If you don't care about either of these things, then stay in bed and spoon your TiVo, 'cause it's not getting any better out there.
