Tonight, I will be trekking down to Jalopy in Red Hook where I have the pleasure of seeing singer/songwriter Tinkerbel Tompsin and performance artist Jen Kwok for a night of music, comedy, and hotness. (Trust me, they're pretty hot.) Tinkerbel is a friend of mine, whose unusual world of performance, banjo playing, and interchangeably hysterical to deeply poetic lyrics caught me somewhat off guard this past year. (We originally met as editors in pharma advertising. One of the reasons I continue to love it here; you never know what worlds will unfold by merely starting a conversation.)
If you're in the mood for something refreshing and atypical, I suggest you attend, especially since the threat of snow seems to have diminished. The venue alone is worthy of a visit--my lovely and talented counterpart performed here last month, describing it as "antiquated, rustic and filled with old school charm." You can read his account of the experience here.
Tinkerbel takes stage at 9PM, followed by Jen Kwok at 10:30. There is a $10 cover charge (beyond worth it), and a bar. Click here for directions.
If stay sedentary you must, stay tuned for a journey to this new borough, an account of the evening, and of course, some in-depth commentary on the work/art balance.
But sorry, I think I will be traveling via subway this round....
