*All events real except those marked with ridiculousness.

THURSDAY

• College Democrats / College Republicans 2010 Debate @ Kimmel 808 — 7 p.m.
  Watch NYU Republicans and Democrats (including NYU Local’s Luke Pattan) debate national debt and immigration policy. Cage match immediately afterwards.
• April Fools Comedy Show @ Madison Square Garden Theater — 8 p.m.
  Comedians Kevin Hart, Charlie Murphy, and more find humor during an otherwise depressing day.
• Gallatin Lecture: Contemporary pranks in context – What is April Fools? @ Labowitz Theatre — 7 p.m.
  Scratch your chin and drink cheap wine while contemplating the meaning of April Fools in your life, and more importantly, how it affects modern perceptions of consumerism.
• Generic Indie Band @ Overpriced Venue in Lower Manhattan — 8 p.m.
  That one band that plays that one song is playing at that one place you used to go to. Just when you were wondering how you should spend that spare $25.

FRIDAY

• NY International Auto Show @ Javits Convention Center — 11 a.m. (through 4/11)
  I never really got into the car scene, but I do love hanging out with convention-goers.
• Temper Trap @ Webster Hall — 8 p.m.
  The (500) Days of Summer band is playing in our area, but that doesn’t mean Zooey Deschanel will be there. Quick! Find a cute, witty girl that enjoys destroying your emotions.
• Spontaneous “Only in New York” Moment @ TBA, but eventually on your Facebook — TBD
  Finally, some spontaneous event that I can put on my Facebook to make all my friends who go to “real college” jealous.
• Creed + P.O.D. @ Madison Square Garden — 7 p.m. (SOLD OUT)
  This show sold out about 8 months ago, but that’s not stopping any of us Creedophiles!

SATURDAY

• 3rd Annual International Pillow Fight Day @ Union Square — 3 p.m.
  Hit people with pillows to release all your angst about Dan’s firing.
• Target First Saturday @ Brooklyn Museum — 9 p.m.
  On a serious note, a great monthly event you should consider attending. On a less serious note: poopy.
• Armin Van Buuren @ Roseland Ballroom — 8 p.m.
  The famous Dutch trance DJ invades America. I always knew the Dutch would take back New York someday.

SUNDAY

• Easter Parade and Easter Bonnet Festival @ St. Patrick’s Cathedral — 10 a.m.
  But mom! I don’t want to wear my bunny costume!
• Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac: Resurrected and Reunited Concert @ Bed-Stuy Basement — 8 p.m.
  The two greatest rappers of all time picked a great time to come back from the dead. Apparently, there is no east coast-west coast battle in heaven (but maybe in hell).
