Bed-Stuy Arts Weekend

I admit–last weekend I was really down in the dumps. I don’t know if it was the weather, or post-holiday malaise or plain old S.A.D., but I didn’t want to leave the house. Instead of going out and doing exciting things, I watched Korean dramas on my laptop (yes, I know–that’s pathetic).

However, this weekend things will be different! Here’s a smattering of stuff that’s happening here in Bed-Stuy, or nearby, or has a connection to something I like.
