Hey, Weekend!
Jun 22, 2012Hey Everybody!
This week's installment of Hey, Weekend features a fun mix of photography, film, music, and NYC Pride. We're excited about this heat, and if you aren't just headed to the beach--we got you covered.
We'll see you next week!

FRIDAY, 6/22 // PHOTOVILLE
June 22 to July 1, 2012
Why call it a festival, when you've got a town? This pop up photography village is made of freight containers transformed into temporary exhibition spaces in Brooklyn Bridge Park. The scope is huge: exhibitions, lectures, hands-on workshops, nighttime projections, a photo dog run, a camera greenhouse, and a summer beer garden amid food trucks.

THROUGH 7/11 // BAMCINEMAFEST
We're lucky that all the celebrated films from Cannes, Sundance, SXSW (and more) come to us here in NY first. Even better that it's in Brooklyn! Besides the motley of flicks we want to check out, we want to see Jon Krasinski (Jim from The Office!) play half of an LA couple, whose lives are stirred up when a woman moves in with them.

SATURDAY, 6/23 // GHOSTFACE KILLAH HEADLINES LYRICIST LOUNGE 20TH ANNIVERSARY

SATURDAY, 6/23 // I LOVE VINYL @ LE POISSON ROUGE
Keep listening to Hiphop after the Ghostface show is over. This party features NYC DJ heavy-hitters who know how to play the classics we wanna hear. If listening to 90s music does you right, or you prefer traveling even farther back into the funk and soul era, then this is where you need to be.
