Pencil This In

BASEBALL: We're in the midst of Baseball Fever Week at The Museum of the City of New York. Their doors are open all week, whether you're a Mets or Yankees fan. Have a drink and check out their Glory Days exhibit, chronicling the good 'ol days of baseball in New York City. The glory days, FYI, were 1947-1957.

5 to 9pm // Museum of the City of New York [1220 5th Ave at 103rd St] // Free

THEATER: The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council is in the midst of their annual Sitelines series, which presents dance, theater and multimedia performance in unconventional spaces like the New York Stock Exchange. Tonight at 6pm you can take in, for free, Daniel Reitz’s new play Fall Forward, which is performed in and around the evocative courtyards of John Street United Methodist Church, Manhattan’s oldest Methodist church. The story concerns a Wall Street broker’s strange lunchtime encounter with a bereaved woman in and around the church. Martin Denton says Reitz and director Daneil Talbott have filled Falling Forward with “some ineffable, spiritual, even supernatural elements; yet they punctuate it with a heart-stopping moment of pure reality that's as moving and theatrical as the final act of Our Town.” – John Del Signore

6pm // John Street United Methodist Church [44 John St] // Free

MUSIC: dios (malos), School of Seven Bells, Mark Mallman and Hollerado are at Mercury Lounge tonight. Four bands, plenty of a/c and cold beer to keep you cool. What more could you ask for? Tickets still on sale!

Have a listen: I'm Only Daydreaming.mp3 - (dios) malos

8pm // Mercury Lounge [217 E Houston St] // $12

PARTY: Mr. Dinosaur is driving to Mongolia, but before they get there, they're throwing a benefit party. Why? According to the press release: "Team Mr. Dinosaur is Brooklyn's best hope for the Mongol Rally, a 10,000-mile race across 15 countries, from England to Mongolia, in a piece-of-crap car! To help raise a bit of money, and in case we don't make it back alive, we're throwing a massive going-away benefit party— Mongol-style!" There's an open bar from 8 to 10pm, then enjoy Mongolian wrestling! KGB mystery shots! And we're guessing much, much, much more.

8pm to 2am // Glasslands [289 Kent Ave, Williamsburg] // $8
