New to the blogroll: Bohemian On A Shoestring

My friend Arcadia has a blog called Bohemian On A Shoestring that you should all check out. She'll give you the scoop on cheap and artsy events going on around town, the weirder the better (we at Sage Advice are pro-quirk, as you know).

"Anyone who enjoys checking out downtown theatre, hole-in-the-wall ethnic restaurants, poetry slams and weird robotics competitions knows that places in which one can pop in for free (or, OK, $20 and under, this IS a New York-based Blog) are a gamble. Sometimes you've trekked out to the end of the E line to see a post-punk, musical version of “King Lear” staged by recent NYU Tisch grads, and you're trapped in your misery, wishing desperately for a clean break (or a beer), and sometimes, you've trekked out to see, well, a post-punk, musical version of “King Lear” staged by recent NYU Tisch grads, and lo and behold! it is sublime (or, at least, entertaining, quirky and the source of a good story or a dumb lyric you can impress your hipster friends with)."

Brilliant, no? Give her a look!
