Pencil This In

PARTY: Superheroes are all over the big screen this summer, so come celebrate one of the originals. Lynda Carter: A Celebration of the Birth and Life of a Wonderful Woman is a party going on tonight with Shakey and Justin Carter (from Nublu). They invite you to come celebrate the 55th birthday of Wonder Woman! There will be a best Wonder Woman costume contest and "revelers are also invited to bring a record of their favorite wonder woman to play during the evening."

10pm // Botanica [47 E Houston between Mott and Mulberry] // Free

THEATER: James Christy's new play Never Tell is about secrets, so, appropriately enough, the advance press information doesn't tell much about the plot except to ask questions (who can you trust in a world of virtual relationships? where is the line "between trust and greed, repression and aggression"?), but Broken Watch Theatre's strong cast is sure to capitalize on the advantages live theatre has when it comes to generating a charged, intimate atmosphere of suspense and make for a night of delicious intrigue. - Mallory Jensen

We had to get into a taxi to go over the McCarren Pool yesterday. luckily, it's only about $12 from the east village, so if you are more than 1 person it's not too bad. piece of advice though - turning left onto Delancey from Essex was a pain in the arse. try to walk directly to delancey and get a cab there if you can. saves you time and $$$ on the fare.

i tried to get to mccarren pool yesterday for the pool party but was foiled by the MTA. no L train service between brooklyn and manhattan. i asked an mta officer how to get there from Union Square and for a second i thought i was in new england: "Yah can't get theah from heah."

how so how am i supposed to get there next weekend since the MTA will still suck then as it does now? i've got tickets for the bloc party show on saturday!? plus there's the sunday of montreal concert i'm not planning to miss either. yay for partying like it's summer '05!!
