Friends of Dorkwave in New York this week:

Tuesday 5/25 is the final installment of Damaged at the Leopard Lounge, with your hosts Gibby Miller and Dave Elliot, plus a very special appearance from newbie Berliner Troy Pierce. Open bar from 11pm-1am. Free! 2nd Ave. and 5th St. above Sin Sin.

(Also, Gibby is selling some of his fine threads on eBay. Check it out. The hipster cred that comes with an authentic Gibby-sweated-in (and god knows what else) XIU XIU tour shirt is priceless...)

Sunday 5/30 Motherfucker NYC celebrates their fourth anniversary with an appropriately decadent extravaganza at Spirit, 530 W. 27th St. between 10th and 11th Aves, $15 w/ flyer (available online.) Tons of give-aways from Paper, Emperor Norton, 4AD, Matador, etc. etc.

My apologies for not posting last Friday's Penetrate event with Sammy Dee, Plexus and Heartthrob in time. We'll see all you kids in Detroit this weekend, right?
