Exotic obedience
Saturday, March 24: Is your sea lion out of control? Prospect Park Zoo’s “Sea Lion Training” session, part of their “Keeping Up with the Keepers” program, can surely help tame him. Alpacas, tamarinds and meerkats are also being disciplined.
11:45 am, 2 pm and 4 pm at Prospect Park Zoo (450 Flatbush Ave. at Empire Boulevard in Prospect Heights). Adults $6, children $2. For information, call (718) 399-7339.
Smith riffs
Monday, March 26: If you’ve ever wondered what happened to Smith Street, pick up a copy of Life in a Blender’s new album, “The Heart Is a Small Balloon.” The song “What Happened to Smith” pines “Where’s the five-dollar hero?” We’d like to know the answer, too.
Available at Music Matters (413 Seventh Ave. at 13th Street in Park Slope). For information call (718) 369-7087.
Monkey sounds
Tuesday, March 27: As a rule, you should be wary of anything that lingers in a public bathroom. Monkeytown’s “Bathroom Sound Series” is the exception. Twenty-three sound artists made 90-second pieces to scare and amuse you while you powder your nose — but tonight’s the last night of their year-and-a-half run.
6 pm until 1 am at Monkeytown (58 N. Third St. between Wythe and Kent avenues in Williamsburg). For information call (718) 384-1369.
‘Giant’ laughs
Wednesday, March 28: Check out clips from the new MTV sketch comedy show “Human Giant,” and stand-up from one of the show’s creators, Aziz Ansari, tonight at Union Hall. Maybe he knows why they don’t play videos anymore!
8 pm at Union Hall (702 Union St. at Fifth Avenue in Park Slope). $7. For information, call (718) 638-4400.
Vintage Brooklyn
Thursday, March 29: Whether you weren’t alive in the ’70s or just don’t remember them, drop into powerHouse Arena to check out “That ’70s Show,” a photo show (featuring art, above, by Brooklyn’s own Thomas Roma) celebrating one of the city’s grittiest decades — they’ve even decked out the space with graffiti.
Through April 15 at powerHouse Arena (37 Main St. at Water Street in DUMBO). For information, call (718) 666-3049.
