The Weekly Breakdown #11
July 10th - July 16th, 2025
So many good things are happening this weekend, with an emphasis on music (though you could absolutely make it art-based, or if you’re looking for free, I’ve got you there, too. Click through to see!). If you feel like taking a trip/having an adventure, Maker Park Radio has you hooked up on Saturday over on Staten Island, or how about a whole day of punk courtesy of ShowBrain and their fantastic line-ups? This week begins the final week of operations at Our Wicked Lady over on Morgan Ave in Brooklyn, so head on over for one final rooftop show. As this newsletter only goes through Wednesday, stay tuned to next week’s update for more shows that will be happening there as the venue winds down over the weekend.
And of course: if you know of, or have something interesting going on, please submit it to me via my calendar form submission. It’s easy, it’s quick, and it helps me so much to keep the content full and interesting.
