Great Show/ Celebration..
New York Magazine's 40th Anniversary Event with The National, Grizzly Bear and hosted by Stella @ Hammerstein Ballroom
The line up to this little shindig is absolutely phenomenal! Lets start off with the fact that the whole event is being hosted by the hilarious comedy group Stella featuring Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black. Then lets add on two of Brooklyn's best bands out right now Grizzly Bear and The National (originally from Cincinnati, but for the sake of this post they are from Brooklyn). Making this probably one of the best shows that will be occurring this month. A night of entertainment that is definitely worth the price of the ticket and I mean you get a subscription to New York Magazine with the price of the ticket. So how can you go wrong?

Chill Show...
Federico Aubele @ Bowery Ballroom
I saw this south American (or is it mexican?) dude open for Thievery Corporation and he was pretty amazing. Very chill groovy tunes that would accompany a bong rip and a beautiful beach perfectly, but instead you have to settle for Bowery Ballroom. You are in luck that Federico melody hold up all in their lonesome pretty well! Definitely check out the show!
