Good morning, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.

There’s a chance of rain this morning, with more to come as the week continues, according to the [National Weather Service](http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=40.68004385284263&lon=-73.94947905921043&site=all&smap=1&ref=bklyner.com). The good news is that you can finally put away your winter coat, with expected highs in the mid-60s today. Just remember your galoshes, locals.

- The week is halfway through and what better way to celebrate than with a poetry reading and wine? [Long Island University Brooklyn](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCsQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.liu.edu%2FHome%2FBrooklyn&ei=j2k7U8ngHamksQSwv4CgCg&usg=AFQjCNGxg1fxydlF4-6fYJ8HlLa-6a%5FAqg&sig2=SRyWmrd4yvWPlkmUjprYKQ&bvm=bv.63934634,d.cWc) and [Greenlight Bookstore](http://greenlightbookstore.com/?ref=bklyner.com) come teamed up to present a reading by poet [Willie Perdomo](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCsQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwillieperdomo.com%2F&ei=pmk7U7mSEOrNsASjmoCYBg&usg=AFQjCNHa6t5KAHg-KG022h6zsRL7AyqAlA&sig2=2R468AlIIzH0sOacHWwpoA&bvm=bv.63934634,d.cWc) tonight. An alumnus of LIU Brooklyn’s MFA program, Perdomo will read selections from his third and most recent collection, “The Essential Hits of Shorty Bon Bon,” followed by a discussion with author and LIU professor [Jessica Hagedorn](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCsQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jessicahagedorn.net%2F&ei=z2k7U8LND4HisASomoDgAQ&usg=AFQjCNFZzGJRJnoTvUzgXW3cVHWOWiHKXQ&sig2=n%5F7XalsZVhaqKtZEFsLJ7w&bvm=bv.63934634,d.cWc). This free event will be followed by a wine reception. The reading starts at 7:30 p.m. tonight at Greenlight Bookstore at 686 Fulton Street.
- Come groove to [the music of Iyadede tomorrow night](http://bricartsmedia.org/events/b-side-iyadede?ref=bklyner.com) as [Brooklyn Independent Media’s](http://bkindiemedia.bricartsmedia.org/?ref=bklyner.com) B-Side series continues. From Rwanda to Belgium to Brooklyn, [Iyadede’s](http://www.eykitu.com/?ref=bklyner.com) travels have influenced her sound. Fans of Janelle Monáe won’t be disappointed by this free concert at [BRIC House](http://bricartsmedia.org/about/bric-house?ref=bklyner.com) at 647 Fulton Street. Doors open at 7:00 p.m., but space is limited, so get there early to snag a spot. If you miss it though, don’t worry: the performance will be simulcast next door at the [Hungry Ghost Café](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCsQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fhungryghostbrooklyn.com%2F&ei=PWo7U82QNYvlsATN8YDICw&usg=AFQjCNHpH68LQuYp7jNq0GqAkQTGJncuDA&sig2=2-QdrOQooGE8WVzuttejRQ&bvm=bv.63934634,d.cWc).
- Spring is here and so is the [Brooklyn Flea](http://www.brooklynflea.com/markets/fort-greene/?ref=bklyner.com). [The outdoor market returns to Fort Greene this Saturday](http://www.brooklynflea.com/2014/03/31/fort-greene-market-opens-45/?ref=bklyner.com), setting up shop in the schoolyard of [Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCsQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blmhs.org%2F&ei=WWo7U6SDM5CnsASZ94HoDw&usg=AFQjCNENiABe0WiTZSuvgUxR7826fwDDxw&sig2=gp0HlBVo1DGUuoNKRkz0qw&bvm=bv.63934634,d.cWc) on Lafayette Avenue, between Vanderbilt and Clermont Avenues. Purveyors of vintage goods, handmade gifts and the finest street food in Brooklyn will be there from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every Saturday throughout the spring and summer.
