Weekanerd NYC: Shlock Horror, An Animator Speaks, Music Trivia & Prog Rockers

Monday, November 26th

• In The Mouth of Madness
  
• 10pm @ Metropol/Cinema Classics, 332 11th Street, Manhattan

This appears to be a C-list John Carpenter movie in which the lead character is based on Stephen King. Probably horrible, but it's free with a one drink minimum, and there are $3 PBR pints all night long. So if you bring a friend and get drunk enough you can have your own personal MST3K experience.

• Animator Tom Sito
  
• 7pm @ School of Visual Arts, 209 East 23rd Street, 3rd Floor
  

Sito was an animator at the House of Mouse during the mid 90s Renaissance, and worked on all their hits, starting with Mermaid and ending with Pocahontas. Good timing.

Wednesday, November 28th

• Music Trivia Quiz
  
• 9pm @ Freddy's Bar & Backroom, 485 Dean St, Brooklyn
  

Hey a trivia night, haven't done one of those in a while. Kind of a slow week. If you're the kind of music nerd that can field trivia questions about the last 50 years of alternative rock music, you might win some "scrill". That's mid-90s East Bay punk talk for "monies". $3 to play, free to watch.

Thursday, November 29th

• Claudio Sanchez and Ken Kelly
  
• 5pm @ Jim Hanley's Universem 4 West 33rd Street, Manhattan
  

What's with nerds and prog rock? Where you find one you always seem to find the other. Claudio Sanchez is the lead singer of Coheed and Cambria, and Ken Kelly is the artist who did the sci-fi-space-fantasy cover for their latest album, No World For Tomorrow.
