2nd Annual Mermaid Parade Ball

Best Weekend Ever 6.24.04

Featuring Liste Rouge Paris, Damon Dash, Mermaid Parade, and Before Sunset

Start with Paris (Liste Rouge), end with Paris (Before Sunset), it must be… Rare Weekend, June 24.


INDULGE
This season, we say go beyond the usual clothiers for that special shirt. We also say Liste Rouge Paris is world famous for creating a super premium, custom piece of clothing. And for just $250 a pop, you’ll get something world-class that your significant other(s) will really want to steal. Visit Liste-Rouge.

CONSIDER
Damon Dash is not just the King of Bling, he’s also the hard-charging CEO of Roca-everything with revenues in the hundreds of millions. Get the inside scoop on the music and fashion biz via the Learning Annex, today.

On Saturday, get your underwater freak on with the annual Coney Island Mermaid Parade. After the parade, assuming you’re so there, do to the 2nd Annual Mermaid Parade Ball (8PM) at Peggy O’Neils for burlesque and sideshow acts.

Because you saw through Ethan Hawke’s pseudo-intellectual posturing in Before Sunrise, and because you’ll always be a little Romantic (but not much, anymore), get to the Directors Guild Theater on Monday for a special screening of Before Sunset. There you’ll try not to gawk in Julie Delpy’s presence and you’ll further appreciate director Richard Linklater. Ethan will be there, too.

MEDIA
Speaking of Ethan, Julie, and Mr. Linklater, if you haven’t seen their last collaboration Waking Life, we highly recommend it. Its brilliantly animated, dream-state quality and philosophical takes from a high school student’s perspective ranks extremely high with us. Get it from CafeDVD.
