I always strive for a nice variety in these events blogs, but rarely do I manage an offering of an alt rock bingo night, a Shakespeare convention, a theater yard sale, and a mac ‘n cheese bakeoff. Whatever your pleasure (unless it’s sports games… that’s my dead zone, guys), I’ve got somethin’ for ya.

Sat 25: Yard Sale Market
Vital Joint 109 Meserole St, Brooklyn, 7:00 PM – 11:00 PM, Free
I have a friend who goes apeshit whenever the NY Opera sells off its costumes. The drama! The excitement!!! That’s kind of how I feel when a theater sells off its props. You know there’s gonna be weird, awesome stuff. Come listen to some music, hang out with artist types, and example the strange and bizarre treasures left behind by experimental shows.

It’s bingo, but with rock n roll music! (Pretty straightforward, right?) This week’s theme is “alt rock,” so if you’re brushed up on your Radiohead, Green Day, Nirvana, and other groups of aging white men, here’s the night for you!
Thurs 30: ShakesCon 2017
Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural & Educational Center, 107 Suffolk St, $10-$35
Well, over the past few weeks I’ve covered a cat convention, a Beatles convention, and a witch gathering. None of them have gotten me as excited as this Shakespeare convention, which sounds like a thing divine, for nothing natural I ever saw so noble. They’re doing all five acts 12th Night with five different theater companies, guys. OMG… I mean, *Marry! *The internet tells me this is an Elizabethan exclamation
