SPORTS: It's time to get in shape for a summer of dodgeball at McCarren Park Pool. What better way than with PartyDodgeballNYC? Get together one night a week for "socially competetive coed dodgeball, and partying that goes on at the bar afterwards." Sign up deadline for the 7-week season is today! Of course, for much less money you could just buy a dodgeball and head to the park.
7 to 10pm // PS 116 [33rd St between 2nd and 3rd Ave] // $75 for the season
THEATER: With real-estate rapacity on a lot of minds, the new play ARDEN: The Lamentable Tragedie of a DUMBO Real Estate Mogul seems timely as ever. Watch with glee as a politically connected condo developer is made a cuckold and finally murdered by his business enemies and adulterous wife. The play is largely adapted from the 18th century play Arden of Feversham; the story comes from the real-life contract killing of a wealthy English landlord in 1551. The show’s DUMBO creators provocatively wonder, “Are the conspirators' actions against Arden properly placed social justice and vigilantism?” - John Del Signore
8pm // Spring Theatreworks Loft [25 Jay St, #203 in DUMBO, Brooklyn] // Email arden@springtheatreworks.com to reserve tickets, which are free but limited to 25 per performance
EVENT: The Dave Hill Explosion, hosted by writer/comedian/musician...Dave Hill, is tonight. Enjoy as Dave "talks, reads, sings, dances, shows a short film or two, and just sort of touches hearts in general for up to but no longer than 35 minutes straight." Oh, and tonight he's joined by Rufus Wainwright and Dick Cavett.
Some tickets will be available at the door.
9:30pm // UCB Theater [307 W 26th St] // $5
MUSIC: Tickets are still on sale for The Postmarks and Die Romantik at Union Hall tonight. The latter has a new cd coming out that will deliver more of their amazing Parisian (by way of Brooklyn) moodrock.
Listen: Narcissist's Waltz.mp3 - Die Romantik
Goodbye.mp3 - Postmarks
8pm // Union Hall [702 Union St, Park Slope] // $10

PartyDodgeballNYC are ripoff artists... They're former NYCSSC players who decided to spin themselves out and form their own league.
Fair enough to do, free competition and all, but they purposely poached a number of teams.
Bunch of dicks, is all I'm saying.
We spun ourselves off because the level of competition and fun was pisspoor at nycssc. We didnt poach anyone. There were so many teams that wanted to leave your boring league that if anything we had to reject teams because we felt bad for you.
