Friday:
 • Manhattan's biggest nerds rejoice: the very first Comic-Con hits the Javits center starting today. And so a million girls flock west, hoping to find their own Seth Cohen. [NYCCC]
• Man Man catches the Amtrak in for a show at Northsix. It's no Boyz II Men, but Philly apparently has some other decent music to offer. [flavopill]
Saturday:
 • If Sasha Cohen and the rest of the Olympians have you feeling a little disappointed and jingoed-out, channel your Commie side with a mini-film festival by Red Shift. Highlights include the section on the Chillfactor (Ode to the Spines of the Money-Lender). [Paper]
• Roxy Pain play their spazzy best tonight at Cake Shop. Go and dance like your having the best seizure of your life. [flavorpill]
Sunday:
 • MoMA's P.S.1 opens their spring season, featuring a major exhibition by Wolfgang Tillmans, with festivities from noon to 6. All the fun of MoMA at a quarter of the price. [PS1]
