If you aren’t interested in a Brooklyn clown festival on Friday, you are truly a stooge.
1. Celebrate your own freedom by looking at pictures of people who are fighting for it. Then go to Starbucks maybe. (Friday)
2. You can laugh at these clowns having a pie fight (and clown festival) if you want, but don’t our veterans of foreign pie wars deserve better? (Friday)
3. Finally, a place in Brooklyn to buy bike parts. (Saturday)
4. Saturday morning, cartoons and alcohol: finally combined in a way that isn’t your father throwing a bottle of Old Grandad at the TV. (Saturday)
5. Take a trip up to Long Island City, where they still believe it’s summer and are having block parties. (Saturday)
6. Adopt a dog before Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher do it and ruin it for everyone. (Saturday)
7. Despite the fact that democracy simply doesn’t work, Brooklyn Museum is leaving its next featured exhibition up to you, the people. (Saturday and Sunday)
8. Go dance to reggae in Coney Island one last time and show September who’s boss. (Sunday)
9. The world of competitive cold soupery is a wild and untamed one, so we suggest showing up armed. (Sunday)
10. If you need some backup guitars for smashing at the end of your set, head to Brooklyn Bowl. (Sunday)

Dave, I’m shocked that you omitted one of the best events of the year — Circus Amok is opening this weekend. It has Acrobats! Drag! Giant puppets! Music! Politics! and it is free.
Here’s the announcement:
Ladies & Gentlemen, Boys & Girls, and the Rest of Us: Circus Amok presents our 19th spectacular theatrical extravaganza: “MOO.”
FREE! FREE! FREE!
In “MOO” we encounter a circus under siege! Creditors are knocking down the doors, performers disappearing left and right, and there’s a cow on the loose! But the show must go on! Astounding acrobats, stunning stilters, bodacious bovines, and catastrophic clowns all forge ahead while a wire-walker teeters on the edge of sanity. Cops and Carol Channing mix it up in this not-to-be-missed spectacle!
