POOL: Hope the rain holds off and head to
Twilight Tuesdays at the brand new Penthouse Pool Club. As its name might imply, the spot has a heated

THEATER: Taffety Punk’s one-man adaptation of Gustav Meyrink’s
The Golem
hits the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop Wednesday. Daniel Flint plays the aforementioned
Golem, a jeweler who becomes afflicted with amnesia and enters into a crazy dreamworld
as he explores his dark past. The score is “cyberpunk electronica,” so you can expect
a wild ride. Tickets ($15) are available online. 8 PM.
Thursday, May 2
DANCE: The king of funk, James Brown, would have turned 80 Friday—to celebrate,
Tropicalia hosts a tribute night. From 9 on, three deejays will spin tracks to make sure you
feel good. So good. $5. 8 PM.
