Get out of your apartments and hotels this weekend! Here are some interesting events you won't find in the Times happening this weekend. Thurs 24th ANCESTRALSCOTLAND.COM Launch Party, 6.30pm Cellar Bar, Bryant Park Hotel, 40 West 40th Street RSVP: 243-9076 *Crazy Scots! You gotta love them. Why? Well, centuries of alcoholism and shortbread, laboring under the yoke of British rule, has made them a perfectly domesticated peoples, in a wry, explosive sort of way. So forgive them for golf and those phony Scotchtoberfest tickets you bought a few months back—you haven’t been to a web site launch in a while. Trace yer red-headed ancestry, or ogle celebrity plaidsters like Nancy Girl, Kirsty Hume. DEAFNESS RESEARCH FOUNDATION Party, 7pm The Lighthouse, Chelsea Piers RSVP: Kiersten 202 289 5850 *The Deafness Research Foundation is, we believe, a cover for some criminal mastermind who has gathered together the hard of hearing to brainwash them with high-frequency radio signals beamed, via their hearing aids, directly into their brains. Expect a keen-eyed army (led by Rush Limbaugh) to terrorize the streets of Manhattan tonight. OK, maybe not. But its worth going just to learn how to sign "Vodka Tonic" and to snigger at the word "cochlear." Oh, and to beat up Leslie Neilsen. Fri 25th WILLOUGHBY SHARP Birthday Party, 7.30pm Eugene, 27 West 24th Street, Info: 469 0999 *Yes, yes, nobody goes there any more—it’s too crowded. And aging New York art folk (unkempt men, bra-less old women) give us the willies. But Willy gives us an open bar for an hour, and a (store-bought) birthday cake. Background note: Sharp started the short-lived Avalanche magazine in the 70s--A good choice of name, since it’s all been downhill from there. Still, while other septuagenarians are buying leisure wear and moving to Florida, Sharp has more staying power than K-mart. CLOACA &CURIOUSLY STRONG MINT COLLECTION Opening New Museum of Contemporary Art, 583 Broadway *True, most art, most anything, is completely full of shit…here's something that celebrates that-an artificial set of intestines. We finally answer the question: mommy, why do I eat food of lots of colors and it all comes out brown? Sat 26th ALICE + OLIVIA Launch Event, 1 to 5pm BARNEYS , 61st & Madison, 8th Floor *"When it's time to change, it's time to rearrange" squawked a rakish, puberty-stricken Peter Brady, forever substantiating shortcomings as a pop-culture selling points. Once a soothing anthem for pre-teens discovering hair-where-there-was-no-hair-down-there-before, Now, a underlying tenet driving every trustafarian who could thread their own needle to start a fashion label- with knee-jerk acceptance in the perennially pubescent fashion world. Case in Point, Alice + Olivia's new line of typically low-slung pants, with Seventies-style stripes as a twist! These fashion illiterates with a style signature as original as an 'X', make their mark on Barney's disposable income crowd. Mon 28th HEATHER MILLS/VOGUE Party, 6.30pm 133 Seventh Ave. South Info: 545 3625 In the wake of Military chic and bondage-style, in a year when living dangerously means more than downing a vodka martini with a tequila chaser, don't be surprised if missing limbs are the next hot look. Thanks to Gwynnie's finger-less turn in The Royal Tennenbaums, and Paul MacCartney's pegleg covergirl wife, Heather Mills' Vogue-celebrated new ad campaign, all the "smart money's" hanging out in the handicapped parking section at your local Mall. So, screw the Hollywood diet, get rid of 20 pounds of unwanted flesh in the swing of an ax, loose the Lambretta for a souped up Jazzy, and roll by the identity-challenged, nameless ex-Moomba to make your moves on a chick who will undoubtedly be too slow to slip away from your crippled come-ons. LA CINEMA FE Cocktail Reception, 7pm Anthology Film Archives And LA CINEMA FE Opening Night Party, 11pm S.O.B.s Info: 212-281-5786 or 917-407-2375 * Hispanic button! Coming like Avenue D, the Latin Americ…
