*Wed, Feb 2: Park Slope film. This isn't this week, but get your tix for The Landlord screening at 92Y Tribeca. Hal Ashby's directorial debut takes on the "getto" days of 1970, when Park Slope wasn't full of white people and strollers (crazy, I know). Details and tix here. 

And one other thing that's up: If you're bored, click over to ListenParty.com, who promise they'll be your "new favorite free online audio journal," whatever that is. Apparently the idea came to fruition in a Park Slope writing group getting drunk together, so we're intrigued.

WHASSUP: A Coupla Things Worth Mentioning

Fire away in the comments with your other shit.

WHASSUP: Dec 8-12

*Wednesday, Dec 8: Get busy, singles. Tonight's our Naughty Office Party! You suck if you don't have tix yet, but you can still get 'em here. We'll see you at 7pm, and watch you leave with your catch o'the night. Consider that a threat.

Add more haps in the comments. I'm in a TheraFlu coma (and will be at tonight's Meatup, o hai), so I'm sure I missed shit.
