Comedy, Pottery and a Book Fair This Weekend

There's never a shortage of events in and around Park Slope during the weekends. Here are a few ideas to get your weekend planning started.

- Join a pair of writer-comedians as they invite their favorite writer-comedians 
into a closed bookshop for a free night of stand-up, stories, and a few 
drunken ramblings about their favorite books. Two-Book Minimum at the Community Bookstore (143 7th Ave) begins at 9:30 p.m Friday.

- Handmade porcelain pottery and silk scarves are available at the Claireware Pottery sale Saturday at 10a.m. Stock up on early holiday shopping and check out Clairewares new designs at 543 Union Street at the corner of Union and Nevins.

- SAT Weekend Bootcamp is for students who do not have time to schedule a full or intensive prep before their test day. This 12-hour SAT prep course takes place at 6 East 16th Street Saturday beginning at 11 a.m.

- Meet your favorite Brooklyn authors and illustrators at the 7th Annual Children's Book Fair featuring storybooks, picture books, graphic novels, and, for the first time, books for young adults. The event is free and takes place at the Brooklyn Museum Saturday at noon.

- Brooklyn gets its first taste of the Hip Tween Dance Party Saturday at 3 p.m. Perfect for kids ages 8-12 who are ready to dance the afternoon away with DJ Misbehaviour at Putnam’s underground club in the Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn. Tickets are just $8 in advance at hiptot.com and $12 at the door. Putnam’s has put together a list of drink and menu specials for the grown ups, who get to hang upstairs.

- Obsolete Cinema presents Swords and Sandals at Freddy's Bar Sunday at 2:30 p.m. with screenings of two 80's classics The Beastmaster and Conan The Destroyer.
