Top 5 Things to Do This Weekend, January 9 - 11, 2009

1. Be inspired the melodic beauty of A Hawk and a Hacksaw at Mercury Lounge in Manhattan on Saturday at 8 pm ($13) or at Union Hall in Brooklyn on Sunday at 9 pm ($12 advance, $14 at the door)

2. Never mind the hawks, get yourself to the Dyckman Fields entrance of Inwood Hill Park by 8 am on Saturday and you might see an eagle

3. While you're at the park, mulch your Christmas tree

4. Can't get enough of The Hold Steady's mustachioed keyboardist? Get your fill first on Friday at 8 pm at Webster Hall ($20), where Franz Nicolay's playing as part of the World/Inferno Friendship Society, and then on Sunday at 10 pm at (le) poisson rouge ($10), where he plays as himself

5. Who shot Alexander Hamilton?



On Sunday, the Morris-Jumel Mansion and the U.S. Parks Service will throw a birthday bash for Alexander Hamilton. There will be costumed interpreters, which makes me think of a certain Chuck Palahniuk book-turned-movie
