Saturday, October 4: Just because you’re worried about the economy doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. Tonight, head to the Brooklyn Museum for the monthly “First Saturday” freebie featuring art, dance parties, movies, lectures, artist talks — and your first chance to see the new “Gilbert and George” show (pictured).

Sunday, October 5: Yes, most street fairs are only good if you need sweatsocks or a zeppole. But the Atlantic Antic — now in its 34th year — is the real deal. All day, hundreds of Moms and Pops turn Atlantic Avenue into a long Brooklyn bazaar with nary a generic vendor in site.

Monday, October 6: Hey, songwriters: Get off your butt and upload your best song in the fifth annual Williamsburg Live Songwriter Competition by midnight tonight — and you may win $4,000. If you’re among the best 150 songs submitted, you’ll get a chance to play live for the judges next month. But it all starts with an upload. Get on it.

Saturday, October 11: We knew Danny Hoch back in the days when he would do monologues for five people in the Bronx.

Assault or not, Hoch bills the show as a comic romp through one Brooklyn block.
