APR 18 at 10:30pm - 12:05am
Summer Fridays: SCIENCE EXCLAMATION POINT, Under St Marks Theatre, 94 St Marks Place, NYC

THANK YOU, ROBOT is excited and honored to present a very special show: SCIENCE EXCLAMATION POINT.

In this experiment, we are inviting two scientists to give short lectures in their fields of study. Following each, there will be an exploration of the presented topic... in the form of long form comedy improv. Featuring special guest team TESLA.

Only $5. This show may sell out so buy tickets early at the SmartTix link above!
Because it obviously had to be them. Hypothesis: Your brain will be filled with knowledge and then blown with improv.(Join us afterwards at UCB East for a post-show symposium. And beers.)

The Cutting Room: An Insight to the Edit Suite
Where: SVA Theatre 2
When: 2:30pm
When the Tribeca Film Festival rolls into town, it brings along crowd-pleasing blockbusters-to-be, provocative documentaries, foreign films and a cornucopia of panel discussions and lectures. Tribeca Talks is a series of not-to-be-missed discussions with some of the film industry's most prominent actors, producers and writers. This event features Academy Award–winning film editor Thelma Schoonmaker, who has cut every film—save for documentaries on Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones—that Martin Scorsese has directed since Raging Bull (inclusive). During this discussion, Schoonmaker will talk about her career, the moviemaking process and cutting-room adventures.

Easter Parade and Easter Bonnet Festival
Where: begins at St. Patrick's Cathedral
When: 10am
Each year on Easter, celebrants don festive finery and show off their very best bonnets along Fifth Avenue. Immortalized in song by Irving Berlin (with some help from Judy Garland and Fred Astaire), the pageant is a New York City tradition that stretches back to the 1870s. Starting at about 10am and continuing until 4pm, the parade marches north on Fifth Avenue, from 49th Street to 57th Street. The best place to watch is from the area around St. Patrick's Cathedral; better yet, bring your bonnet and join the parade.
Sunday at 7pm a great Brazilian musician and scientist :
The Parkside Lounge
317 East Houston, New York, New York 10002
It's acoustic/pop-rock/singer-songwriter kind of thing, if you ask.

There's no cover and I'll not pass the hat (see title of event -- pun half intended), but the bar will ask you to have a drink.

Hope to see you there, and feel free to bring friends. My set goes from 7PM to 8PM.S

Doomsday Secret Speakeasy
The Lofts at Prince Street, 177 Prince Street, Manhattan

If Doomsday were approaching, you can bet we’d want more than a shotgun and a zombie-proof truck. Yes, booze. (Who wants to ride out the apocalypse without adequate amounts of bourbon?) Head on over to the Doomsday Secret Speakeasy this Sunday to imbibe inside a swanky Soho loft with 16mm films, music, snacks, free-flowing champagne and bona fide NASA spacesuits ¬– that we can try on! Admission is just 10 bucks, so party like it’s 1999 and you’re terrified of Y2K.
