Space jam
It’s a space party, Jim, but not as we know it. Brooklyn experimental theater company Title:Point is throwing a bash that really lives up to its name of 100% Outer Space Party. There will be a talk by an astrophysicist, a reading of space-themed erotica, a Neil deGrasse Tyson musical, live sci-fi music, a space photobooth, space T-shirt printing, space drinks, and more space things.

Big beer
Microbrews are so passe. The Diamond bar is hosting a macro-brew blind tasting contest, where you can win a $20 bar tab by identifying four mass-produced beers — like Budweiser and Miller — on taste alone. The competition also coincides with a chili cook-off — $5 lets you sample all the entrants and vote for a winner.
