PARTY: Perhaps as a nod to Warhol, or simply as a reason to party, PBR has been on an Art Tour. Come check out their 18 PBR-inspired paintings, and more importantly drink free beer from 7 to 8 tonight as the tour hits the Knitting Factory. Music provided by DJ Awesome Derek, Cody Ranaldo, and Rezound.
7pm // Knitting Factory [74 Leonard St] // Free
EVENT: The Women's Expressive Theatre storms the Angel Orensanz Foundation tonight with some of their love-themed productions. Celebrate Valentine's Day early with performances by Lauren Ambrose, Michael Cerveris, Ricki Lake, Paul Rudd (pictured), Melissa Joan Hart, Josh Hamilton and Martha Plimpton. An open bar and hors d'oeuvres follows the theatrical vignettes. The price is $150, so while money still won't buy you love -- it will buy you a night with Paul Rudd and unlimited amounts of alcohol. Which is pretty much the same thing.
7pm // Angel Orensanz Foundation [172 Norfolk St] // $150
8pm // The Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel [59 West 44th St.] // Call (212) 419-9331 for tickets, which cost $50, plus a $30 food and drink minimum.
MUSIC: Todd P introduces a new venue to us in his email today: the Market Hotel. Described as being "very Scarface" it's on the 2nd floor of an "ancient cast iron facade building, formerly a Dominican speakeasy from the late 70's." Tonight No Age, High Places, Rings (formerly First Nation) and Skint (music & dance project from members Telepathe, Psychic Ills, Lake) take the stage.
9:30pm // Market Hotel [957 Broadway, Brooklyn] // $8
