About the Book. Is AI a bubble or humanity’s last invention? An existing harm or an existential threat? Obsolete cuts through the hype and false binaries to answer all the AI questions you have, while raising some you probably aren’t prepared for. The richest companies in history are racing to build a machine that replaces human labor—all of it. And, as this provocative new book insists, the only surefire way they won’t succeed is if we stop them. Many today don’t get further than seeing AI as a boondoggle—a new shiny object for techno-capitalists to sink their cash into as we barrel toward climate disaster. Obsolete takes those concerns seriously, but implores us to keep our eye on the ball: the attempt to render you obsolete. The scale of their project has no real precedent. What we think of as big—the Gilded Age monopolies, the Manhattan Project, the Apollo program—doesn’t even come close to capturing its size. Almost none of us wants this vast transformation to succeed. Yet we’re letting it proceed virtually unabated. Why? Because we don’t know it’s happening, we don’t believe it will work, or we don’t think we can stop it. Obsolete takes on all three. AI expert and journalist Garrison Lovely’s debut is a refreshing reset on an AI debate in which basically everyone is getting some big things wrong. With deep access to top researchers, advocates, and industry insiders, Obsolete offers a new way to think about the technology and a plan for deciding its future democratically.

A story from the life of baseball legend Dock Ellis In a new play by Andrew Sanford Directed by Jennifer Sandella Dock Ellis was a larger-than-life baseball player whose career spanned the 1970s. When a manager on the Texas Rangers insisted that players on the team no longer drink at hotel bars while on the road, Dock fought it tooth and nail. This fictional retelling of Dock’s struggle finds him confronting then-Rangers owner Brad Corbett over the rule, demanding it be dropped. Corbett agrees on one condition: Dock tells him the true story of his legendary no-hitter, which was not public at the time. What follows is a tense and hilarious exchange that tackles race, representation, alcoholism, and that fateful story that would go on to define Dock’s life and career (whether he wanted it to or not). Featuring: Kade Clarks Rory Scholl Stage Manager: Isabelle Deveaux
Hear a play & original EDM Score. Watch the story unfold via dance from site to site on the streets of DUMBO. Inspired by Arthur Schnitzler’s La Ronde, THE CIRCUIT reimagines the classic cycle of intimate encounters as a pulse-driven, fully immersive silent disco ballet. Produced by New York Theatre Company, this bold new work fuses dance, theatre, and nightlife into a visceral experience that is intimate, fluid, and unapologetically provocative. Upon arrival, audience members receive wireless headphones. Through them, the entire world of the show unfolds — a fully realised play and an original EDM score transmitted directly into your ears. You hear whispered dialogue, internal monologues, ambient sound, and a live-mixed soundscape with cinematic clarity. Nothing is projected outward. No voices fill the room. Every confession, every breath, every thought feels as though it’s meant for you alone. And yet, what you see is something entirely different. While you are hearing a play and an original score, you are watching dance unfold in real time — on the streets of DUMBO. As you follow characters from site to site outdoors, choreography erupts against the backdrop of cobblestone streets, alleyways, storefronts, and the Manhattan Bridge skyline. Language lives in your headphones; physicality lives in the city around you. The result is a thrilling dual experience: an intimate narrative in your ears and a visceral ballet unfolding live in the open air. There is no traditional stage. No fixed seat. You move with the performers through the neighbourhood, tracing a looping chain of desire and consequence — seduction, power, vulnerability, violence, longing, and collapse. Each audience member curates their own journey, shaped by who they follow, where they linger, and which moments they choose to witness. The experience is both collective and deeply personal. Though everyone inhabits the same world, no two paths are identical. The constant electronic pulse creates an emotional throughline, transforming even stillness into something electric and cinematic. Co-directed by Josh Zacher and John Kroft, choreographed by Josh Zacher, written by Connor Wentworth, and with an original score and sound design by Jacob Ryan Smith, with associate sound design by Anna Tobin, THE CIRCUIT dissolves the boundary between spectator and participant. This is not just a performance — it’s a charged, sensory loop of sex, rhythm, and reckoning set against the heartbeat of Brooklyn itself.
Baci Studio · 140 Plymouth Street, Brooklyn, 11201
Taking place at Baci Studios in the industrial waterfront of DUMBO, Midnight Muse produced-by Roger Ridley and Rose Alice; presents a one-of-a-kind runway experience exploring how different creative visions converge into a singular space, time, and identity. It asks a singular question: What builds the architecture of who we are and what we wear? Midnight Muse brings together an ensemble of New York City’s most audacious artists to reframe the runway not as a passive consumer display, but as a living space where fashion, art, music, and physical bodies create their own sanctuary. Making her New York debut, emerging LA designer Roslyn Moon, in collaboration with Baci Studios, repurposes Japanese salvaged denim, reworking it through a modern lens. Featuring visual art Sarah Tamani, alongside George Lykogiannis on piano and Cat Izumi with pole and cello. Nothing about this show is only fashion. It is about what gets handed to us, and what we reach out and reclaim for ourselves. Whether worn, painted, played, danced, or drawn, all forms of expression collide for the night. Like all Midnight Muse productions, this performance rejects passive consumption and lives as an unrepeatable ritual and homage to chosen identity and authentic expression. Come enter our world. This is an 18+ event Presented by Midnight Muse. You can get a refund if: It’s within 24 hours of buying tickets This event is rescheduled or cancelled You can’t get a refund within 24 hours of the event start time.

The Powerhouse Arena · 28 Adams Street (Corner of Adams & Water Street across from the Archway), Brooklyn, 11201
This standout creative nonfiction debut explores the lives and histories of plants considered nonnative or invasive as metaphors for the Black experience in America. In Tending the Vines, Ashia S. Ajani illuminates how eight unique plants tell the story of the Black diaspora in America. Each chapter is a deep dive into one plant—including eucalyptus, passionflower, wild mustard, and kudzu—exploring their significance in African tradition, their role through the Middle Passage and Chattel Slavery, and their enduring importance in modern households and communities. Tending the Vines unpacks the complex rhetorical lives of these plants, most of which have been used as both ugly metaphors for Black incursion as well as powerful symbols for Black liberation. It also highlights the ethnobotanical uses that have sustained displaced populations for centuries. Throughout, Ajani complicates our notions of “invasive” and belonging, by contextualizing how plants move, are moved, and, of course, move us.

The Powerhouse Arena · 28 Adams Street (Corner of Adams & Water Street across from the Archway), Brooklyn, 11201
For readers of Beautiful Boy and The Night of the Gun, this gripping memoir explores addiction, grief, and family trauma as one woman goes in search of her sister’s killer. In the summer of 2015, Nadia Bowers’s beloved older sister, Sasha—a social worker and Ivy League graduate—was found in her car in a restaurant parking lot in their hometown outside New Haven, Connecticut, dead from a fentanyl overdose. Plunged into grief, equipped with Sasha’s phone, and just weeks from giving birth to her first child, Nadia began to investigate her sister’s shadow life: who sold Sasha the drugs that killed her? Did they know each other well? Did the dealer have any idea who Sasha was, outside of addiction? Expanding on her viral 2018 This American Life essay of the same name—a letter to this imagined dealer—Bowers’s memoir is a love letter, a diary, and a quest in search of the dealer’s identity, as well as her own. Who is she without her sister? Who is she because of her sister? And what now? Bowers reflects on her shifting roles as sister and mother, examining how loss has reshaped her sense of self. Her letters to the faceless dealer are interwoven with rage, reflection, and even moments of humor as she recounts their intertwined lives alongside memories of charismatic and complex Sasha. Rooted in unflinching honesty and poetic prose, Dear Dealer is a richly compelling account of one woman’s search for meaning, forgiveness, and hope in the aftermath of tragedy.
Healing & Retreats · 69 Jay St, Brooklyn, NY 11201
Naomi Shu is excited to explore and share the insights that she has gained through her Quantum Healing Hypnosis practice—work that has deeply accelerated her own spiritual growth. Because all the memories and wisdom are held in the subconscious, she has uncovered the deeper meaning of life, who we truly are, why we’re here, and the underlying truth behind many of our mental and physical challenges, such as depression and anxiety. Naomi has learned many of the universe’s deeper mysteries while working with clients, witnessing perspectives and experiences that most people rarely have access to. Naomi is looking forward to sharing these understandings with the world, helping others see themselves and the universe through broader, higher perspectives. Every challenge we encounter is something we’ve chosen in order to grow through it. The essence of the soul is to learn, expand, and evolve—and when we align with that purpose, peace and joy naturally follow. Finally, have fun making new friends!

Always wanted to try Dungeons & Dragons but didn’t know where to start? This is your night. We’ve created a super welcoming, no-pressure space where you can learn as you play. No long rule explanations, no experience needed—just jump in, make a character, and see what happens. Our Dungeon Masters will guide you every step of the way. 🎲 $40 entry 🎁 Comes with your own set of dice to keep 📅 Fridays 📩 Must email ahead to reserve your spot — no walk-ins Bring your curiosity, your imagination, and maybe a little chaos. We’ll handle the rest.
Hear a play & original EDM Score. Watch the story unfold via dance from site to site on the streets of DUMBO. Inspired by Arthur Schnitzler’s La Ronde, THE CIRCUIT reimagines the classic cycle of intimate encounters as a pulse-driven, fully immersive silent disco ballet. Produced by New York Theatre Company, this bold new work fuses dance, theatre, and nightlife into a visceral experience that is intimate, fluid, and unapologetically provocative. Upon arrival, audience members receive wireless headphones. Through them, the entire world of the show unfolds — a fully realised play and an original EDM score transmitted directly into your ears. You hear whispered dialogue, internal monologues, ambient sound, and a live-mixed soundscape with cinematic clarity. Nothing is projected outward. No voices fill the room. Every confession, every breath, every thought feels as though it’s meant for you alone. And yet, what you see is something entirely different. While you are hearing a play and an original score, you are watching dance unfold in real time — on the streets of DUMBO. As you follow characters from site to site outdoors, choreography erupts against the backdrop of cobblestone streets, alleyways, storefronts, and the Manhattan Bridge skyline. Language lives in your headphones; physicality lives in the city around you. The result is a thrilling dual experience: an intimate narrative in your ears and a visceral ballet unfolding live in the open air. There is no traditional stage. No fixed seat. You move with the performers through the neighbourhood, tracing a looping chain of desire and consequence — seduction, power, vulnerability, violence, longing, and collapse. Each audience member curates their own journey, shaped by who they follow, where they linger, and which moments they choose to witness. The experience is both collective and deeply personal. Though everyone inhabits the same world, no two paths are identical. The constant electronic pulse creates an emotional throughline, transforming even stillness into something electric and cinematic. Co-directed by Josh Zacher and John Kroft, choreographed by Josh Zacher, written by Connor Wentworth, and with an original score and sound design by Jacob Ryan Smith, with associate sound design by Anna Tobin, THE CIRCUIT dissolves the boundary between spectator and participant. This is not just a performance — it’s a charged, sensory loop of sex, rhythm, and reckoning set against the heartbeat of Brooklyn itself.

Healing & Retreats · 69 Jay St, Brooklyn, NY 11201
Naomi Shu is excited to explore and share the insights that she has gained through her Quantum Healing Hypnosis practice—work that has deeply accelerated her own spiritual growth. Because all the memories and wisdom are held in the subconscious, she has uncovered the deeper meaning of life, who we truly are, why we’re here, and the underlying truth behind many of our mental and physical challenges, such as depression and anxiety. Naomi has learned many of the universe’s deeper mysteries while working with clients, witnessing perspectives and experiences that most people rarely have access to. Naomi is looking forward to sharing these understandings with the world, helping others see themselves and the universe through broader, higher perspectives. Every challenge we encounter is something we’ve chosen in order to grow through it. The essence of the soul is to learn, expand, and evolve—and when we align with that purpose, peace and joy naturally follow. Finally, have fun making new friends!

Fabrik DUMBO · 20 Jay St, Suite 218, Brooklyn, 11201
Why are apologies so hard? It really takes courage, care, a commitment to our character, and the spirit of amending things to apologize. An active conscience that refuses to leave someone feeling hurt or harmed by us. Sometimes we take too long because the stakes are too high, a lot of time has passed, or we think our apology won’t matter. Well, at NYC Love and Intimacy, it’s never “Too Late to ‘pologize.” Learn and practice writing or verbally offering sincere and effective apologies that open the doors to healing and forgiveness and help you have a peaceful conscience, a good night’s sleep, and possibly even a repaired relationship! <3 Many bonds can be saved with timely and heartfelt apologies, plus improved behavior. Apologies are extremely sensitive matters. Don’t be stuck wondering why people have changed towards you. Find out what’s going on, then take the time, put in the effort and all your heart towards saying sorry. You’ll be rewarded! Syeda Zaidi is a Relationship and Human Design Coach in NYC. Her mission is to help New Yorkers be more caring, loving, honest and invested relationships in order to end emotional starvation and loneliness, so that we can all have longer, healthier and happier lives!

Upon arrival, audience members receive wireless headphones. Through them, the entire world of the show unfolds — a fully realised play and an original EDM score transmitted directly into your ears. You hear whispered dialogue, internal monologues, ambient sound, and a live-mixed soundscape with cinematic clarity. Nothing is projected outward. No voices fill the room. Every confession, every breath, every thought feels as though it’s meant for you alone. And yet, what you see is something entirely different. While you are hearing a play and an original score, you are watching dance unfold in real time — on the streets of DUMBO. As you follow characters from site to site outdoors, choreography erupts against the backdrop of cobblestone streets, alleyways, storefronts, and the Manhattan Bridge skyline. Language lives in your headphones; physicality lives in the city around you. The result is a thrilling dual experience: an intimate narrative in your ears and a visceral ballet unfolding live in the open air. There is no traditional stage. No fixed seat. You move with the performers through the neighbourhood, tracing a looping chain of desire and consequence — seduction, power, vulnerability, violence, longing, and collapse. Each audience member curates their own journey, shaped by who they follow, where they linger, and which moments they choose to witness. The experience is both collective and deeply personal. Though everyone inhabits the same world, no two paths are identical. The constant electronic pulse creates an emotional throughline, transforming even stillness into something electric and cinematic. Co-directed by Josh Zacher and John Kroft, choreographed by Josh Zacher, written by Connor Wentworth, and with an original score and sound design by Jacob Ryan Smith, with associate sound design by Anna Tobin, THE CIRCUIT dissolves the boundary between spectator and participant. This is not just a performance — it’s a charged, sensory loop of sex, rhythm, and reckoning set against the heartbeat of Brooklyn itself.

Healing & Retreats · 69 Jay St, Brooklyn, NY 11201
Naomi Shu is excited to explore and share the insights that she has gained through her Quantum Healing Hypnosis practice—work that has deeply accelerated her own spiritual growth. Because all the memories and wisdom are held in the subconscious, she has uncovered the deeper meaning of life, who we truly are, why we’re here, and the underlying truth behind many of our mental and physical challenges, such as depression and anxiety. Naomi has learned many of the universe’s deeper mysteries while working with clients, witnessing perspectives and experiences that most people rarely have access to. Naomi is looking forward to sharing these understandings with the world, helping others see themselves and the universe through broader, higher perspectives. Every challenge we encounter is something we’ve chosen in order to grow through it. The essence of the soul is to learn, expand, and evolve—and when we align with that purpose, peace and joy naturally follow. Finally, have fun making new friends!
