To Do: Jonathan Ames, Electro-Fun, or Billy Joel

• Tonight's Jonathan Ames Show at Mo Pitkin's — the last of the 2005 — will feature Reverend Jen, the girl who wears elf ears, Drag King Murray Hill, a mentalist named Eric Walton, Miss Saturn (a girl who uses hula-hoops while stripping), and Mangina and his love Valmonte Sprout. A joke would be superfluous; just go see the show. [JA]
• Music without words is the name of the game tonight, as electronic artists Shark Attack, DJ Clever, Giles Dickerson, and Puzzled perform at Stay, while Pier Bucci and Damian Lazarus take over Cielo. Can't decide? The show at Stay may or may not be free. If that helps. [flavorpill x2]
• Billy Joel plans to spend the majority of his time at the 92nd Street Y tonight talking. All the talking in the world still couldn't explain why he keeps slamming into the poor trees of the Hamptons, but maybe he'll try. [Paper]
