Ubiquitous' blog is open this summer for event postings! So, if you're in need of some entertainment and want to explore the city, stay tuned to the blog for some notices on upcoming events. If you know of an event or a nice little bookstore/museum you'd like to recommend here in New York, please feel free to offer ideas.
You know that free magazine people try to hand you on the subway that you probably pass by? Well, the L Magazine shouldn't be over looked and it is a great source for events, whether they are art exhibits, film previews, comedy nights, or poetry readings, there's something for everyone. Their website is a nice little spot to visit. To see their most recent posts on events here in good old NYC, visit the link posted on the right side of the blog.

Poetry: It's Raining Here for You
It’s raining here
For you
With your cigarette and black coffee mug in the same hand,
You
Who still keeps a typewriter in the closet
To pay homage to the old ways,
To those grown-up men trying to find their boyhood once again.
Breathe in the droplets,
Or they will smear the carbon copies
Falling from your trees,
Thin leaves for submission to the press.
Doesn’t anybody print unknowns anymore?
You cry,
Doesn’t anybody read?
You dye your
Second-hand clothes with the same tea
You make for me to drink,
So what am I to think
About the fairy tales of utopia you spin me now?
Let go.
Dance for the rain.
It came down for you and shimmered.
The czars and I and even you can all enjoy the ballet;
Your words,
They will wait for you to untie your wet boots.
