Writing for Late Night With Jimmy Fallon: A.D. Miles & Wayne Federman The Paley Center for Media (formerly the Museum of Television and Radio) Sat., November 7, 2:00pm West 50s
Did you give up on Jimmy Fallon's late night show because he seemed a little nervous in those first weeks? If so, you should try it again. Our boy has found his chops, and Late Night With Jimmy Fallon has been funny as hell lately. Jimmy can thank his writers, including head writer A.D. Miles... More>>
Bar-athlon Second Chance Saloon Sat., November 7, 3:00pm Williamsburg
Apparently, drinking games are no longer just for underage NYU students. This Saturday, Second Chance Saloon will challenge domestic-whisky-experts and beer-can-free-throwers alike to prove their drinking might in its first annual Bar-athlon. Teams of up to four drinkers will compete in 10... More>>

Brooklyn
Dir. Agnès Varda (1962). Agnès Varda’s most overtly nouvelle vague caprice films the uncertain afternoon of a glamorous young Parisienne, waiting for the results of a medical exam, in real time—among other things, it’s a suggestive foremother to Chantal... More>>
Basement Jaxx Santos' Party House Sat., November 7, 10:00pm Chinatown
Crazy Itch Radio, the lukewarm 2006 effort from English dance-music duo Basement Jaxx, cost them a good deal of momentum here in the States among all but their most devout fans. But buoyed by killer lead single "Raindrops," their latest full-length, Scars, should please those still enamored of... More>>
Carsick Cars Santos' Party House Sat., November 7, 7:00pm Chinatown
As the Beijing indie label Maybe Mars pulls into town to (perhaps) show us the future of rock music as a "Made in China" brand name this week (with shows at Glasslands and Columbia as well), the band most likely to succeed stateside remains Carsick Cars. Fronted by twentysomething guitarist... More>>
'Osso Quartet:Sufjan Stevens' The BQE' Bell House Sat., November 7, 7:30pm Brooklyn
While we secretly wish Sufjan would get going with an album about Rhode Island, we're happy to note that the musician's latest dalliances in orchestral chamber music (Run Rabbit Run) and experimental filmmaking (The BQE) are almost as good as his songs about Michigan-based serial killers. On... More>>
Double Dagger Maxwell's Sat., November 7, 8:30pm New Jersey
"I'm not sure I know what the point is, and I don't care. That shit gets on my nerves," wrote the Voice's Annie Fischer in a review of Double Dagger's 2007 CMJ showcase. She was reportedly pissed that lead singer Nolen Strals kept forcing his fingers into audience members' mouths, though Double... More>>

West 50s
Daniel Jenkins and Robert Stanton revive their two-man comedy, an adaptation of Euripides’ Ion and a tribute to the madness and disarray of theatermaking. When we saw it last year, we wrote, “The script’s a bit inane, but there’s great joy in watching Stanton and Jenkins... More>>
Good Bobby 59E59 Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Thu., October 8 until Sun., November 8, 8:15pm East 50s
The recent death of Ted Kennedy has returned attention to his blessed and cursed family—not that attention had ever wandered very far. Brian Lee Franklin’s play concerns Teddy’s doomed older brother, Robert F. Kennedy, and his efforts to cultivate a political identity distinct... More>>
House on Fire Julie Saul Gallery Daily from Wed., September 23 until Tue., November 17 Chelsea
The story is almost too terrible to believe. In 1956, Velma Orlikow, the grandmother of Canadian artist Sarah Anne Johnson, entered a mental hospital in Montreal to be treated for postpartum depression. Instead, she suffered torture at the hands of her doctor, who worked for a CIA-funded... More>>
Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present Brooklyn Museum Daily from Fri., October 30 until Sun., January 31 Prospect Heights
Without photography, would Elvis and his gyrating hips have shocked America? Can you talk about Grace Jones without thinking of the Island Life cover? The photographers who collaborated with rock 'n' roll musicians injected the genre with glamour, grit, and sex appeal, and even today, one... More>>
