THEATER: The fall theater season gets curiouser and curiouser with the start of The Alice in Wonderland Puppet Festival at HERE. (The festival, which is not recommended for children under twelve, will feature a tea party after every show.) Tonight curiouser & curiouser fuses text from Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, Lewis Carroll’s diary entries and his muse Alice Liddell’s memoirs to try to decipher what destroyed their unique friendship. - John Del Signore

7pm // HERE Arts Center [145 Sixth Ave] // Tickets cost $18.

MOVIE: Tonight check out a documentary on asparagus. Seriously! "For over thirty years, Oceana County Michigan has been the Asparagus Capital of the World. Now its residents and family farms take on the US War on Drugs, free trade, and a fast food nation, all to save their beloved 'roots.' Oceana's farmers take their fight from Senate Trade Hearings to marketing think-tanks, from the US Department of Agriculture to the mountains of Peru. One rural American community is scrambling to keep its proud identity and source of survival against impossible odds. Discover why one little vegetable matters so much." Check out the hour long film, get some As to your Qs from the filmmakers, and enjoy asparagus treats.

7:30pm // The Tank [279 Church St] // Free, RSVP here

MUSIC: The Black Lips have two shows in Williamsburg tonight. First up is a toned-down set at Sound Fix, though we're not too sure how toned down they're gonna be. They'll close out their night in the Burg at The Music Hall where they're joined by Selmanaires and Imaginary Icons. Check out their Southern-flared rock, and if they bring another chicken on stage call PETA.

8pm // Sound Fix [Bedford Ave at N 11th St, Williamsburg] // Free
9pm // Music Hall of Williamsburg [66 N 6th St, Williamsburg] // $15

PARTY: Don't say he's just a friend...Biz Markie is in town tonight and you'll be getting a lot more than his old single that you know him for. He'll be delivering the hits, deejaying, beatboxing and he's probably got a few other tricks up his sleeve.

10pm // Lotus [409 W 14th St] // Free, RSVP here

And don't forget to talk like a pirate today!
