Here is today’s gothamlist via the gothamist.com, and it has one event that i find definitely science noteworthy: a lecture on the NYC water supply, how it works, why the tap water tastes so good, what are the new developments to increase supply with the ever growing demand. should be interesting. i wrote about a short film i saw on the subject of the city’s water. i will look for it later and add it to this post.

Here is today’s gothamlist, and for me, it has a welcome surprise listing of my friend’s band, The Upwelling. Here is their myspace page. That is tonight at 8 at Mercury Lounge. So those of you not in cap, cape, hat, tails, pumps and black for tonight’s World Science Festival Gala, you should go see them play.  And in case you are wondering what upwelling means…

I went to the timeless Park Ave Armory on Saturday to see Ernesto Neto’s spacious super piece. I recommend it HIGHLY, especially for children. I took way too many pictures to enjoy, so when i whittle down to some choice good ones, i will definitely post them here. Here is today’s gothamlist. The UCB show “Inside Joke” looks particularly fun.

Is it really the end of may already?! it surely doesn’t feel like it weatherwise. This weekend better deliver some summer time thrills like batting cage goodness. or else! Here is the gothamlist courtesy of gothamist.com. I usually say this about most gothamlists, but with the listing of a my little pony party, i can easily say there is something for everyone. The Gutter in Wburg is hosting a tournament this weekend. I wonder who will win the wburg bowling wars when newly minted Brooklyn Bowl gets going. My vote goes to the gutter, because it doesn’t try to be anything but a classic bowling time.

Gothamlist says Slutty puppets for $7. Sounds like a perfect post-memorial day deal. Did you guys hear the one about times square and herald square sections of broadway now being closed to traffic, and now it’s a european city-esque plaza for people to sit and a relax and not fear oncoming honking taxis? Well, it happened while everyone was away, and i look forward to the herald sq section, at least. I avoid times square at all costs. Thanks for the list gothamist.com. (continue reading…)

I saw a kid today wearing a tshirt that read “if i’m not happy, then nobody’s happy.” Now does that mean that this kid is always happy and if he isn’t then it must be bad mojo or a terrible situation? Or is he giving the world an ultimatum: make me happy, or you will feel my wrath in the form of your happiness. Are people making shirts that are the equivalent to social stickups? what ever happened to have a nice day? Some parent needs to smack that kid if it’s the latter. What is with the explosion of kids wearing shirts with words. On my way to work, through the throng of students getting to the high school in my neighborhood, it’s like reading grave epitaphs in a simpsons episode. i am just dying to see a guy wearing a shirt that says “i’m with stupid” with the arrow pointing down at his crotch. that shirt HAD to be made already.

IT’S SUMMER YALL! IN CASE YOU HAVEN’T NOTICED! GET HYPED! IT’S THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND! and although it’s not going to be like yesterday and today’s amazingly comfortable low humidity high 80′s masterpieces, mid 70s and sunny is still a workable jam. Don’t be like that tshirt; find something this weekend that makes you happy. Thank you gothamist.com for insuring our happiness! (continue reading…)
