Friday:
 • The Fringe Festival takes the city by storm. They may be whackos, but God Bless anyone who allows you to see a play without venturing to Times Square. [flavorpill]
• The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Sonic Youth are all sold. Some of the high-schoolers will inevitably get grounded, though, so you should check Craigslist for extra tickets. Or try again tomorrow. [Prefix]

Saturday:
 • As if Coney Island isn't scary enough, the museum screens Frankenstein vs. the Creature From Blood Cove. Wait, no, Coney Island is still scarier. [Paper]
• No luck with the 3 Yeahs? Try on Soul to Soul and a shitload of other bands tonight at the Summerstage. Also, it's free. [Prefix]

Sunday:
 • We have no idea why we keep telling you to go to McCarren Pool Park when it doesn't even have a pool (oh, the lies! the deception!), but here. Indie bands. Go. [flavorpill]
