SpeedRoommating is a super cool way to bypass the pains, aches, and awkwardness of scouring the city for a place to live. At these weekly events, you can meet a bunch of potential new roommates at one convenient location — and they’re free to attend!
Thursday: I give 100 fucks: Solo show and fundraiser by Adam Fujita
6-10 p.m. at 3rd Ethos Gallery, 154 Knickerbocker Ave.
You’ve probably seen Adam Fujita’s neon street art everywhere in Bushwick. Fujita calls his latest show “a vulgar public display of altruism” that redefines empathy and advocacy. There will be 100 unique pieces of art for sale, and all proceeds will benefit 100 individual charities of different causes. You can check out the opening reception for free.
Friday: Cannabidiol Education
4:20 p.m.-12 a.m. at Caffeine Underground, 447 Central Ave.
