To-Do: Benefit, Slowlands, or Gay Pride
Friday:
• The Road To Guantanamo follows the story of the Tipton Three, "the British Muslims unjustly held in Guant namo Bay for two years." Get out your protest signs and hop on the angry bandwagon. [flavorpill]
• "We're Doing It For Love:" Robert Plant, Ryan Adams and the Cardinals, and a bunch of other people play in a benefit concert for Arthur Lee. Blow your rent money tonight at the Beacon Theater. [Prefix]
Saturday:
• The Billyburg Short Film Festival hits the haunted McCarren Park Pool. Hosted by Michael Showalter, music by Japanther, and BYOB — it's a hipster paradise, but more tolerable. [RIATS]
• Your iPod is stuck in the land of iTunes recommendations, so get a leg up: Plastic Constellations, Rahim, the Isles, and Slowlands play at the Mercury Lounge. [Mercury]
Sunday:
• The proud gays of New York take to 5th Avenue. The less-proud hunker down in a lovenest with Julio. [Upcoming]
