Have You Ever Danced With a Satyr in the Pale Neon Light?
AWOOOOOOOGA! It’s officially the first all the way through nice weekend in this god forsaken city! So you know what that means: STRIP NAKED AND RUN WILD IN THE STREETS INCITING TERROR! With flowers in your hair, of course…
The Sun Goes Down
The Sun is going down on New York– enjoy the mugginess of midweek cuz we’re headed for the real deal of Fall/Winter in the coming weeks. Good news is that Halloween weekend is looking good weather-wise, but there’s ghoulish fun to be had even before the Moon Comes Up… TONIGHT (WEDNESDAY): Not too much on [...]
Another three-day weekend
This weeks’ picture is in honor of Sunday, the day which is somehow both part of the weekend and not part of the weekend (though this weekend it is definitely part of the weekend!) Sunday Let us begin at the beginning, which is historically 5pm on Sundays. It happens that way when everyone you know [...]

Must investigate…further…Uhura: Zip [...]
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday: something to do (yay!)
This is why we do not mix music and football. Sunday I’m sure that some of you know that tonight is Superbowl XLIV. I knew that without looking up the number, thank you*. But here at GaragePunkNYC we don’t officially care. We would, however, like to point out a few things: The Superbowl should be [...]
And so it begins…
The holiday season cometh… you know what that means. Past-their-prime bands dishing out ill-advised Christmas covers; whole groups on stage in baggy Santa outfits; Facebook event invites with terrible holiday puns– you know the deal. Still, there is relief: it comes in a bottle or a glass and costs between 3 and 7 dollars. We [...]

Itchin’ to get out of the house…
… or apartment or closet or cardboard box? We got what you need right here! No, not affordable housing, although Shimmy just moved so we may have some extra cardboard boxes. What we have for you is somewhere for you to go and something for you to do which doesn’t involve waiting for your roommates [...]
