10:25 AM - Art! Opening! Like a present! Indeed!
Tonight the event of choice is art. Yes, really. ART! Ripped from Mill Whistle: "Robert Szot gets his first gallery show in Chelsea, and it features the collaborative paintings he did with Cousin Maggie. Reception from 6-9 p.m. at the Melody Weir Gallery, 507 W. 24th Street." Note that Maggie is Mary's cousin, not mine. In case you weren't sure. But I'll be there, trying to look 'sophisticated,' 'arty,' 'rich,' and yes it might even come to this.... 'hip.' That's what I'm told you are supposed to do at these things. You are also supposed to walk around going "hmmm..." I think. But I am not sure, as I don't know diddly about this 'art' stuff. Also happening tonight is an awesome band called My Victoria playing at Sin-e at 11:00. I have yet to see them but their music is quite good (something like Morningwood or Pretty Girls Make Graves or Controller.Controller or Yeah Yeah Yeahs or even, dare I say it, Man in Gray - note the common link between all of these... badass female frontladies and often vaguely Pixies-ish but dancier music). Super double bonus! Another tops rock show happening this evening is over at Crash Mansion, with those fine fellows of Morning Theft! Details are over at New York Underbelly. Mention Morning Theft and get in for free. Also, FREE BEER! That's right. The boys play at 10:30 (the show starts at 9 though). Also this weekend: The Secret Life of Sofia is rocking their last show before a recording break from playing live for a few months so come out and see them at the Knitting Factory tomorrow (Saturday, May 14th) at the Knitting Factory Old Office with Nakatomi Plaza. 8pm. Should be an awesome show. Sunday is the big Park Slope To-Do, the 5th Ave Street Fair! Unless it rains, that is. Come visit me at the record store if you're milling about there. Then afterwards, Bling Kong is playing at my house. Ok so they're not playing (though that would be pretty cool), but they're coming over for dinner and an interview. Sweet.
