To Do, This Weekend: Ames, Armory Alternatives, Or Atmosphere
Friday:
· Heatherette designers Richie Rich and Traver Rains have a super gay birthday bash at Temple tonight. Oh, go on—you know you want to. Just tell 'em we sent you.
· Former Fez doorman and current writer/raconteur Jonathan Ames headlines a show to bid adeu to his former stomping ground. Evidently, every performance space in this city is shutting down. [Fez]
· UK imports Hood, having bravely survived the 90's, bring their lo-fi electronic sound to the swaying children at the Mercury Lounge. [ML]
Saturday:
· Of "After Hours," a series of art exhibits in Brooklyn that coincide with the Armory Show in Manhatten, Flavorpill comments: "tonight's Brooklyn soiree is really a trans-gallery celebration of artists, filtered through the unique sensibility that is Williamsburg." I guess we missed the memo that said that Pabst cans and yuppie I-bankers now constitute a "unique sensibility." [flavorpill]
· Lost your apartment keys again, darling stoner? Then this is definitely not the contest for you: the U.S. Memory Championships come to the ConEdison building today. Or is it tonight? Where's the cereal? [USAM]
Sunday:
· On March 1st, at 2:33am, "Hashim" of Upcoming.org said: "Atmosphere has new material to perform with? I always like their [sic] shows so I'll be there." Thanks, Hashim! Bowery Ballroom's the place to be — hang with Hashim and hear the white boy rap about love and angst. [Upcoming]
