UPDATE: Update! Rubulad will NOT be held at Ridgewood’s Gottscheer Hall

We reported a few weeks ago about the long-awaited return of Rubulad, a notorious Brooklyn underground party, in their enormous new space at the Knockdown Center

As a longtime Rubulad fans, we were beyond ecstatic when we received a press release about their upcoming Valentine’s Day Party, Love Unlimited! If you’re unfamiliar, Rubulad is one of Brooklyn’s best underground parties – so underground in fact that they don’t have any official web presence! Their events bring people of all walks to life and all ages (well, 21+) to get together and experience top-notch entertainment

An alien-themed meditation night, a burlesque drag show at 3 Dollar Bill, a Donut Lounge and more. Here are the events happening this week (July 21-28) in Bushwick.

Check out these great gigs happening at Alphaville, Avant Gardner, The Broadway, and Rubulad

Tired of heteronormative and boring Hallmark events? Then this list is for you.

Valentine’s Day – love it or hate it, it’s HERE, and you’ve got plenty of options throughout the weekend

It’s the time to bow to the Great Pumpkin, the magical goddess of the fall! Get ready for pumpkin carving, pumpkin ale, and pretty much everything else tasting, smelling or looking like pumpkins

A treasure trove of eclectic antiques and a café—that’s how the owners Stephanie and Diego Castillo describe their new coffee shop/bar/vintage store located at 205 Cypress Ave, The Keep

Remember when the Girls took to Bushwick to rage out in a warehouse and (accidentally) smoke crack? Well, that’s not the route we recommend you go this weeken–maybe instead grab a 5-hour energy to get your fix as you hop around art shows by day and hit the rock and roll by night! Not all these shows are tied in with Bushwick Open Studios, but they will all be mega-fun and nothing like the gif above (hopefully?)

We’re big fans of community arts & music venue The Knockdown Center

Most of us feverishly love or dull-heartedly dread Valentine’s Day

2013 was an exciting year! Firstly, we survived the alleged Mayan Apocalypse with the inevitable end of the world attached to it in late December 2012

We’re constantly astounded by the incredible live music scene here in Bushwick, and we’re having trouble finding creative ways to say so every single Thursday

Now this sucks
