WHASSUP: Home Sick Edition

Good day, FIPsters. Today I write from the comforts of the sick ward—my bed. There's something going around and it has taken a giant bite out of my ass and left me with a 102 fever to show for it. I apologize if this post is completely nonsensical and lacking any good recommedations for the coming days. I promise that I'll be firing on all cylinders by next week. 

In the meantime, hit me up with some recommendations, review some events, and let me know what you like. You know, I get off on that shit.

And now, WHASSUP? Eh, I'm going back to sleep:

Friday, 4/25, The Feelies, The Bell House: After a 19-year hiatus, the Feelies are bringing you a new album, which promises to tie together their old groove with new musical themes. This is gonna be a good one. $25, Doors 8pm, Show 9pm

Saturday, 4/26, Friends of Park Slope Book Sale: I remember fondly the book sale from elementary school at which the “Book Lady”, as she was affectionately known, would peddle paperbacks such as Superfudge and The Hardy Boys.  I can only imagine that this event will be exactly the same. Park Slope Branch Brooklyn Public Library, Free Admission, 11am-4pm

Saturday, 4/26, A Butterfly for Brooklyn, Prospect Park: Who’d have thought that Fireworks can be inspired by vaginas?  As I close my eyes I can picture just what the skies over Prospect Park are going to look like on Saturday—and to be honest, I’m a little excited. FREE, 7:30pm

Sunday, 4/27, Dr. Mario’s Tetris Fever, Union Hall: I’m a sucker for these video game events.  I mean, which kid of the 80’s doesn’t still freely fly a Nintendo boner wrought in nostalgia?  If I listen close enough I can just about hear that persistent, repetitive Dr. Mario Theme song—or maybe it’s just the fever. FREE, Doors 7:30pm, Show 8pm

Monday, 4/28, Beginners Tai Chi, Brooklyn Tai Chi and Kung Fu Academy: Yes, Grasshopper, it’s time to realign your yin and yang. Learn to harness this ancient martial art said to have major physiological benefits. I say come for the tai chi, stay for the chai tea.  6pm

Tuesday, 4/29, The Mysteries of Ice Cream, Littlefield: The only mystery is why I’m not stuffing my face with the stuff right now. I love ice cream—mint chocolate chip being my favorite. Mosey on down to Little Field and learn the ins and outs. FREE, 8pm

Wednesday, 4/30, Wake Up, Sir!, Barbes: A couple hours of music inspired by a book, which in all honesty sounds a bit like the story of Batman in its description, is sure to be a treat. FREE, 8pm
