1984
Brattle Theatre's 1984 Repertory Series
Anyone already having waded into his 30s can recall the films of the early/mid-'80s with some degree of
nostalgia. The Brattle Theatre taps into that with a strange spectrum of films from 1984, starting with
Friday's Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo screening. Best (read: most obnoxious) '80s gear gets a
two-for-one deal on tickets. Do it for Turbo.

Achilles heeled
Last Days of the Achilles Project = 75% Off
The Achilles Project is set to close its doors on Sunday (sad), so owner Michael Krupp is burning down the
house with an insane liquidation sale. Jackets, T-shirts and blazers from Rag & Bone are all as much as
$300 off the list price, handmade Italian leather Common Projects sneakers will run you $100, and everything
denim is going for $50.

HOP TO IT
Free Craft Beer and Chocolate
Pairing complex chocolates such as Mexicano Guajillo Pepper Chocolate with craft brews like Butternuts
Heinnieweisse Weissbeir is actually much easier than pronouncing it. Head to Wine Gallery in Brookline on
Saturday for a free tasting. Taza Chocolates of Sommerville provides the sweetness. You bring the thirst.

BOYS WILL BBOYS
United Styles World Bboy Cup
The question isn't, "Why would you go to the biggest break-dancing competition on the East Coast featuring
breakers from all over the globe competing for $50,000?" The question is, "Why wouldn't you?" Original bboys
from '70s/'80's (Crush Groove, anyone?) who kicked off the revolution will be on hand to "rockkit"
with the young'ins.
MEAT YOU THERE
BamBar-B-Que at Bambara
The last few days have been a humid, hazy mess. So brave the Red Line T over to Cambridge for a riverside
BBQ at Bambara on Saturday. Tables stocked with their own buckets of seasonal Harpoon brew and mounds of
grilled meats (brisket, chicken, shrimp and chorizo) should take your mind off the heat, if only by way of
indigestion later.

SEXY TIME
Sex and Drugs Trivia at Savant Project
Some enjoy quiet Sundays at home decompressing before a heavy week ahead. For the rest of you, head to
Savant Project on Sunday for a boozy trivia night, where you'll be quizzed on such topics as sex acts,
joint-rolling and stoner cinema. It's hosted by noted sexologist Megan Andelloux, who's like the Alex Trebek
of sex trivia.
