Kung fools

Tonight, it is the 2004 kung fu film parody “Kung Fu Hustle.” No more soccer! (No, really, “Shaolin Soccer” was last week.)

Bushwick boogie
Go back to a time of disco infernos and actual infernos. Photographer Meryl Meisler’s exhibit “A Tale of Two Cities: Disco Era Bushwick” wraps up with a party at Bizarre Bushwick. The show juxtaposes photos she took in the late ’70s and early ’80s of New York City’s thriving disco scene with burned out buildings and local residents in Bushwick. Pick up a signed copy of the book version of the show while you’re there.
