Robot Oliver Twist and Zine Launch Party

1) All the Rats and Rags, performances at 8p Thursday 11.17-Sunday 11.20 at 3LD Art & Technology Center (80 Greenwich St.). From the Facebook page: 

Loosely based off of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist, “All the Rats and Rags” follows the creation and destruction of a robot named Twizt. This Sci-fi musical explores human evolution and the growing divide between the rich and poor. Our workshop production utilizes technology in order to create a futuristic society where people are powered by electricity and wear their battery lives on their sleeves. 

Adventure! I wonder what this is going to be like. To reserve free seats, email alltheratsandrags@gmail.com.

Wonder Woman KitchenAid Mixer

The baking I do isn't generally heavy-duty enough to warrant a standing mixer (I'm all about portables, baby), but dear God do I want this: 

Right now this design is only being sold in Brazil, which is probably good for my wallet in the long run.
