We thought the Roomba vacuum was the ultimate in cleaning gadgets, until we discovered the Brush Robot ($18), which sweeps but also has a pair of googly eyes. Make your absurd sanitation dreams come true and test one at the opening of the fifth annual Wired Store (415 W 13th St between Ninth Ave and Washington St, 212-645-0210; Wed–Sun noon–9pm, through Dec 27, free). The shop will be hawking 200 gizmos and repurposed items, including MapleXO’s Recycled Skateboard Bangles ($24). And don’t miss the electric paint mural designed by Moby.
Like all unfairly scorned flicks from the 1980s, murder-mystery caper film Clue is being subjected to a Hollywood do-over. A new version will be released in 2011, though you may not want to wait that long to point fingers at that hussy Miss Scarlet. Grab a candlestick and head to Get a Clue! (Galapagos Art Space, 16 Main St at Water St, Dumbo, Brooklyn; 718-222-8500; 10:30pm, $12–$15), a burlesque adaptation of the board game you loved and never play anymore. The Peach Tartes’ Rita MenWeep plays Miss S., and you decide just who killed Mr. Boddy. (Choked by glitter in the ballroom, we say!) Grind with your favorite suspect during a postshow dance party courtesy of DJ Mel.
