Think they still look as good after 30 years?

1. Love and Rockets celebrates 30 years on the Earth. Together in one title we mean. Separately rockets are a little over 70 and love doesn’t really exist. (Friday)

2. Go see Zoolander, just remember that it contributed to possibly the worst Beastie Boys lyrics ever. (Friday and Saturday)

3. Making fun of rockstars has never been so fun. Or so drunk. OPEN BAR, Y’ALL! (Friday and Saturday)

4. AHHHHHH! BOUNCY HOUSE BOUNCY HOUSE BOUNCY HOUSE! (Saturday)

5. Learn about Brooklyn’s farming history. Bring your own butter churner. JKJK, there are plenty of churners to go around. (Saturday)

6. Go to the Brooklyn Scrabble Championships. Just maybe leave your significant other at home. (Saturday) (more…)

So you finished college however many years ago and you’ve been done with learning ever since. High five, sports fan! Still, your brain has felt a little flat lately. Well don’t worry because starting Sunday you can find a solution to your problem at Public Assembly when it hosts Et cetera 2012. Not just an informational campaign on how to spell the oft-abbreviated phrase, Et cetera promises a “week-long version of a state-funded liberal arts college” packed into the building’s three rooms, and seems poised to deliver with (mostly free) events running Sunday to Saturday, from bad feminist readings to short lectures on topics like “The French” and the history of beer to a ladies-focused investigative journalism talk. Celebs such as Rachel Dratch, Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Ames will be there too.

But with so many lectures, discussion and dance parties to go to, which should you choose? Join us after the jump for our official Brokelyn picks. (more…)
