Got big plans for the weekend? Of course you do; there's a full moon, so you're going to have plenty of time to go crazy in the streets and suffer through endless crying jags! There's also a couple of things going on around town, including comedy, Japanese food, and scantily-clad boxers. Admit it, you're curious.
Friday
- Grandmaster Flash parties in the Meatpacking District with those who were born two years after his claim to fame, feels pretentiously smug for being inducted to the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. [Uncool Kids]
- Best Week Ever's Doug Benson invites his friends for an impromptu chat, doesn't let them finish sentences. [UCB Theatre]
Saturday
- Oh my god! It's "muscular bouncers with even tans and enormous pecs!" Unfortunately, Rob the Bouncer was too busy reveling in the three seconds of fame he received from guest-editing Gawker to strip down to his boxers. Also, he's not from Ibiza. [NYM]
- Apparently, winning the Palme d'Or twice is enough to get you a makeshift festival at BAM. [Flavorpill]
Sunday
- It's Japanese restaurant week, as opposed to regular, old restaurant week. There will be sushi, Masaharu Morimoto, and guest appearances by Spinachdip and The Assimilated Negro. [TONY]
- Why should James Frey and Augusten Burroughs have all the fun? You can write a slightly embellished memoir or entirely fabricated memoir too. [NYCplayground]
