The Best of the Rejection Collection at the StrandA big ol' slew of New Yorker cartoonists (Matthew Diffee, Harry Bliss, Mort Gerberg, Sidney Harris, Carolita Johnson, Arnie Levin, Eric Lewis, Julia Suits, Marisa Acocella Marchetto, David Sipress, Mick Stevens, Julia Suits, Barbara Smaller, and Christopher Weyant) will descend upon The Strand today, to celebrate their new tome, The Best of the Rejection Collection, featuring
cartoons that were "too dumb, too dark or too naughty" to make it into the venerable publication. They'll be chatting, complaining and sharing a few of their most unfairly rejected 'toons.
The Strand, 828 Broadway. 7 p.m. Free.
One of PAPER's favorite New York bands of all time, Endless Boogie (about whom former staffer Carol Lee once famously wrote: 'The band's sound is a meltdown of metal, psychedelic and classic rock with a heavy dose of riffage, a kick-ass beat and super-cryptic lyrics. It's thunderous and mellow at once. To put it another way, it goes well with beer.") kick off a January residency at Union Pool tonight. Make sure to pick up a copy of their "bootleg" LP, 20-minute Jam Getting Out of the City.
Union Pool, 484 Union Ave., Williamsburg, Brooklyn. 9 p.m. $8.
