June 24th is going to be mega-busy, so get ready. Not only does it mark the first day of the
Northside Festival, something that you'll surely want to check out unless you have no love for the arts, people or Brooklyn, but
Matthew Volz celebrates the opening of his debut gallery exhibition at the
Rare Gallery in Chelsea, making his blog-style drawings the work of a fancy legit artist. Best known as the "official muse to
The Beets," he's the guy behind the always humorous cartoon drawings gracing their albums, posters and t-shirts. Because you can never have too much indie-cred, Cassie Ramone, she of the Vivian Girls/The Babies, will also be displaying her drawings, as will
Carlos Ruiz, a Missouri-based designer responsible for a comic book series called "
Pretentious Record Store Guy." So, there you go. One month from today, you're going to have tons of really cools things to go see.
