(Date Auction)

Saturday, May 11th – You’ve heard all about it here and now it’s time to meet us out as LocalBozo.com heads to the Boat Basin Cafe for the annual “Crawfish for Cancer” benefit.  Tons of beers and tons of boiled crawfish await you, alongside hundreds of likeminded New Yorkers at the rain or shine event.  Don your eating bib and hope the rain holds off as we imbibe in style, for the benefit of a truly special cause.  (Crawfish for Cancer)

Sports

Sunday, May 12th – Mother’s Day Schmother’s Day.  There’s only one place to be on Sunday for a New York sports fan.  And it’s Madison Square Garden.  The Knicks are on the road and the Nets are in their beds, so strap on your blueshirts for the New York Rangers playoff hockey.  It’s home game three and the implications have never been bigger.  (Rangers Tickets)

Music & Entertainment

Friday, May 10th – Movie release day. Quiet night tonight? Check out the films opening this weekend.  Turn back the clock to 1920′s New York.  The parties.  The Hats.  The Leo!  It’s “The Great Gatsby” (PG-13)…shot in Australia.  Take one of literature’s greatest works, throw in a little Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, and Leonardo DiCaprio, and a sprinkle of Jay-Z to the soundtrack, throw on some 3-D glasses and sit your ass down for two and a half hours for one of 2013′s most highly anticipated films.  Also opening, “Peeples” (PG-13) starring The Office’s Craig Robinson and Kerry Washington and where-has-he-been David Alan Grier.  Man dates girl and is hesitant to introduce her to his snobbish family?  Count this guy in.

Saturday, May 11th – The Golden Furs are an extremely talented NYC band as well as good friends of LocalBozo.com. The group seamlessly fuses elements of rock, pop, and folk to create a sound you can groove to and this Saturday, you can check the boys out at the Lower East Side rock spot Fontana’s.  It’s as laid back and fun as the band themselves and if you don’t believe us then….well what are you doing reading this in the first place- do the right thing and check ‘em out.  (The Golden Furs)
