In another one of those "Only in New York" events, Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus march their elephants from Long Island City to Penn Station tonight by way of the Midtown Tunnel. This tradition, born out of necessity, closes down the tunnel and vehicular traffic and is free for all. For an extra treat, try and grab the view from the less crowded Long Island City side.

The actors will sit with, drink with, and directly engage the spectators as they perform the Bard’s tale of shipwrecked twins lost in a strange world. The play's themes of stasis confronting inevitable change, of morality colliding with hedonism, of sexuality and it's ambiguities, are delightfully underlined by this unique production. 917 856 3535 for inquiries.

"April Fool's day has always been a day for mayhem and practical jokes. So don't forget your fake vomit, exploding bubble gum and pull-my-finger jokes. After much deliberation in the Clown Council, it has been concluded that the place a clown is needed the most is a Yuppie Midtown Sports Bar. So that is where we will have our uprising. Special Note: If at anytime during the uprising, someone asks who is in charge say "the clown" and if they ask why we are there say "clowns". It is important that we be vague and smart as no permits have been acquired. So no blocking traffic or public drinking. We will strut together and if our clown-shoes are tired we can take the train, but either way I expect a royal rumpus all through the night.

I am always excited when someone takes the initiative to create a unique experience in New York City (that's what being here is all about, right). And I am not talking about bringing a really cool dj to a really cool new bar. I am talking about you won't find anywhere else on the planet and - perhaps - something that will not happen here again for a while. Enter Improv Everywhere; a group of individuals dedicated to bringing improptu events and performances to public spaces such as "No Pants 2K5" where everyone on the subway car was (duh?) without pants. Well, rain be damned, today is their next public extravaganza. Titled The MP3 Experiment 2.0, Improve Everywhere is inviting you to join in the fun. Here's what you need to do... Go to the website. Download the mp3. Load it into your mp3 player of choice (if you are reading this website, you probably have an iPod but may be considering buying a nano for this special occasion because "everyone is going to have iPods." Mine's broken so I rock a CD player... sorry, I'm bitter... back to the saga). Okay, don't be lame and listen to it ahead of time. That is going to take all the fun away. Now, Show up at Sheep Meadow and be there by 3pm. Sit on the lawn (important... bring something to sit on as it will still be soaked). There will be a guy with a siren. Once you hear the siren, get your mp3 player of choice fired up. when you here the siren again... hit play and follow the instructions. Madness is guaranteed to ensue. Since we have been engulfed in Monsoon Manhattan for the past week, the rain date for this event is Sunday and you can check the site today as they will post a "good to go" message by 1pm. Enjoy!
