A lot to do today for a rainy Sunday at the end of a slow week.

Individual tickets are on sale today for the 2010-2011 NY Philharmonic concert season.

To make sure they don't get shut down, tonight's sold out H2O show happening on a Rocks Off boat is going to be dry ("Our First Ever NO BOOZE CRUISE - Straight Edge on the Hudson!"), which is ironic since those that step outside will probably not be dry at all thanks to the H2O coming down from the sky.

Good thing there's going to be a Pool Party on August 29th. Otherwise they would have went out on a rainy note. If it doesn't get cancelled, Chromeo, The Suzan, Telephoned, and previously-known-as "Special Guest" Kid Sister play the free show at the Williamsburg Waterfront today.

Today is the day The Specials were supposed to play in the rain at Central Park Summerstage.

Though there are still free events, there are no more free concerts on Governors Island this summer, which means tonight's potentially-soggy Diddy fans paid for their tickets. Same situation for the Jonas Brothers fans at Jones Beach.

Two indoor options today include "Farm to Folk Fest" at Union Pool (3-8pm) and "My Endless Summer" at Don Pedro from 4pm to 4am. Flyers and more information for both below...

What else?

Ute Lemper @ Spiegeltent, NYC - July 31, 2007 (CRED)

Jose Gonzalez has quite a few shows coming up - one of which happens to be August 21st @ NYC's very special (and slightly expensive) Spiegeltent. Would you like to go for free? E-mail BVCONTESTS@HOTMAIL.COM (subject: Jose), and let me know what the last show you saw was. One person will be picked at random, contacted, and awarded a pair of tix. Contest ends August 7th. Listen to two NEW Jose G songs @ his Myspace.

And as one kind commenter pointed out, last night was Ute Lemper's show at the very same Spiegeltent. More pics from that show HERE. Ute Lemper plays NYC again in November - the 1st through 3rd @ Neue Gallerie, and the 19th, 2rd, 24th, 25th, & December 1st @ Joe's Pub.
