SUNDAY
Day Drinking: Curvaceous Jersey Shore star Jenni "JWoww" Farley will unleash her bikini bod on the masses during a party at the MGM Grand Pool at Foxwoods.

King Without A Crown: Hasidic hip hop and reggae star Matisyahu helps wrap up the weekend at Toad's Place. He burst on the scene in 2005 with Live at Stubbs, an album that won raves from critics and received significant airplay. Matisyahu's released a handful of new discs since and the show should pull in plenty of Yalies. In February, he went back to the well, returning to Austin, TX to record Live at Stubb's, Vol. 2. Check out that album's standout track "Jerusalem" here. Tickets are $22.50. 8 p.m.
