Free Slurpee Day!Date: Friday, July 11th Today is 7/11 and you know what that means.... Free Slurpees! Every year on this date, the chain of glorified bodegas gives out free slurpees to celebrate its 81st Birthday. They expect to give out about millions slurpees today in 7.11 once cups. So lets do the math, 1,000,000 X 7.11oz = a whole mess of brain freeze!

"LA's No Age purvey a stripped, essential, life-affirming skewed take on pop delivered via a clearly defined punk rock aesthetic, taking in noise, energy and melody in equal measure. Brooklyn band Telepathe forge largely improvised guitar gusts, woodsy chirps, wraithlike Björkian harmonies, and powerfully jabbed drums into minimalist baroque." All Ages.

Tonights kid flick is one of the greatest adventure tales of all time, The Wizard of Oz. Besides getting to watch movies outside on beautiful summer nights on the Hudson River, the other thing I like about River Flicks is that the popcorn is always free. Seating is first come, first served, so you and your little ones may want to show up early.

For Makbet, the ensemble "learned all of the lines, of every part, through a process of oral transmission. In rehearsals and in production, we do not know who will be playing any given role at any give time. As presented by a traveling family of Gypsies, the hour-long performance creates the impression of a ritual or ceremony. Employing haunting folk songs and chants from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe, Theatre Group Dzieci explores (and explodes), the very essence of theatre and storytelling in their one-act rendition of Shakespeare’s classic."

With a visionary’s commitment, Puremovement founder Rennie Harris single-handedly gave life to the ballet of the streets by skillfully blurring the lines of the classic and the concrete. Famous for the hip-hoperatic, Rome and Jules, the company claims the conventional and transforms it into hip hop’s firstborn. The Francesca Harper Project aspires to create a unique style of dance theater – classical dance forms, deconstructed and fused with cutting-edge text, music, film and video..."

This month's series, “Dancing Together,” will feature three critically acclaimed and award-winning films showcasing dance and music, from tango to hip hop, an electrifying mixture sure to appeal to West Harlem’s diverse residents. All three movies will be followed by parties! The first movie, Je ne suis pas là pour être aimé (Not Here to be Loved), by Stéphane Brizé, is an intimate, profoundly endearing portrait of a worn-out police officer who rediscovers his taste for life when he begins to learn the tango. The screening will (naturellement!) be followed by a tango session in the park, so that the audience can truly get into the spirit of things! All Ages.

If you can make the walk, this is a great post-party for the Celebrate Brooklyn show (else just stop by Bar4 for a beer and some jukebox jams with the rest of us lazy folk). 21+ Posted by Chris at 10:00 PM | View This Article | Email to a friend |
