Olga's Picks

This week I went to not one, but two SOLD OUT Editors show with Matt and then I saw them on Conan last night. I like them and thought that the shows were great, but that's enough Editors for me a while for me.
Anyway, it's Friday night yet again and I am here to give you the lowdown on what's happening in the shitty tonight. I'll be honest, there are no good shows tonight, so if you are in the mood for music you might need to find an alternative. One suggestion I have is the Nightclubbing The Original Punk Rock Music Video Series at NYU Cantor Film Center (36 East 8th St). It's a film that was shot by Pat Ivers and Emily Armstrong and features live performances from 1975-80 by: Bad Brains, Ballistic Kisses, Max Blagg, Blondie, just to name a few. The FREE screening starts at 6PM followed by a discussion with the film makers and after party with Max Blagg at CBGB's (313 Bowery St) that begins at 10PM.
For those of you who want to go to a bar, I recommend Rivington Bar (174 Rivington St between Attorney and Clinton) for the Blaze and Booze party. There's an open bar from 9-10 and giftbags filled with shit from Sugarhead Quarters, KidRobot, Mishka, Rockett, and Friendsof. It says to that only the first 50 people who RSVP to rsvp@sugarheadquarters.com get a goody bag, so hurry! When the open bar at Rivington ends, head over to The Delancey (168 Delancey between Attorney and Clinton) for the SWEAT party which has free Heineken from 10-11 and L-R-G clothing giveaways. When 11 o'clock rolls around and all the open bars in the area over, you can either go home or stumble from bar to bar in the Lower East Side. I suggest you make it an early night because tomorrow MARKY RAMONE is djing at Movida (28 7th Ave South). Unfortunately, there is a cover, $10 general admission, but it's only $5 if you RSVP to list@gbh.tv.

Have fun, kids!
