5 Things: Drink and Draw at LaunchPad and "Naqoyqatsi" at Atlantic Co.

1. See a film ... and have a drink. If you're in the mood for some deep thought, accompanied by a good glass of wine, head to Atlantic Co. for a showing of "Naqoyqatsi," "A visual montage portrait of our contemporary world dominated by globalized technology and violence," according to IMDB, at it's weekly Movie Night at Atlantic Co. Show starts at 8:30 p.m.

2. Work on your drawing ... and have a drink. Tonight is Drink and Draw and Draw, LaunchPad's figure drawing night with live models, music and drinks. Drawers of all levels welcome. 721 Franklin Ave. bet. Park and Sterling, 8pm, pay what you wish.

3. Buy some tickets. A couple of events taking place next month have a habit of selling out quickly: Beer for Beasts is a four-hour festival at The Bell House, featuring special brews and tasty grub, with proceeds going toward the better treatment of animals. Meanwhile, Brooklyn Exposed's 3rd Annual Brooklyn Tasting event is just around the corner. If the idea of sampling bites from myriad borough restaurants sounds like a great way to spend the night, click here for further details.

4. Pass the mic. The extraordinary MCs from Mic Check—Amkoullel, Deeb, El Général, and Shadia Mansour—will discuss the power of hip-hop in times of political change at BAM Fisher Fishman Space at 7 p.m. tonight. Tickets are $6; $3 for Friends of BAM.

5. Move the car. Alternate side parking rules are in effect today.
