SATURDAY 13

The extravagance of 1770 rococo Paris meets the eclecticism of 2010 underground New York nightlife. Think Amadeus, Marie Antoinette, the Marquis de Sade, etc…   but with a thoroughly modern twist. Tonight’s festivities include fire-dancing, wire-walking, burlesque, performance art, feats of endurance, spectacles, live art, and live techno baroque rock music. Powdered wigs, powdered faces, candelabras, masques, and big hair will all abound at the most baroque ball since the guillotine came down!

Teneleven, 171 Ave C bet 10th and 11th Sts, NYC, 212-353-1011, 8pm, $10, www.returnofrococo.com

QxBxRx (Queers, Beers & Rears)

If you’re that little homo who puts profiles on Manhunt, whose profile says things like ‘looking for long-term relationships, prefer meeting in person or nobody over 30 y/o’, this is not the party for you who lives and loves in the land of delusion! QxBxRx is pure punk sleaze…ain’t nobody tryin’ to put a ring you here! Performances tonight by Little Victory, Two Tears and SGNLS. Plus, resident DJs/hosts Sir Loins, Go-Karff and A.Martini.
