Pencil This In

0805godard.jpgMOVIE: Jean-Luc Godard's Two or Three Things I Know About Her is playing at the Film Forum. The docu-drama exaggerates "the emotionless lives of characters in the new Paris of the 60s, where commercialism mocks families getting by on small incomes, where prostitution is a moneyspinning option, and where people are coldly resigned and immune to the human nightmares of Vietnam, and impending Atomic war."

Various times // Film Forum [209 W Houston St] // $11

ANNIVERSARY: Cross-Pollination celebrates four years with a party at Pianos. This time around they move to the main space downstairs, with a night of music provided by The Bloodsugars and Lowry. The gents also promise free beer! Get to their 190th show early, the whole shebang ends at 9:30 sharp.

7:30 p.m. // Pianos [158 Ludlow St] // Free

MUSIC: You may recognize Nate Lithgow from My Brightest Diamond, but he's also got a band called The Kiss-off. They'll be releasing their debut EP on May 12th with a show at Mercury Lounge, but you can catch them tonight as well. They play a free (though conflicting reports say $5) My Open Bar party with Sigmund Droid (featuring David from Apes & Androids).

9 p.m. // Crash Mansion [199 Bowery] // Free (or $5!)

THEATER: Boeing Boeing, a slapstick farce about a duplicitous bachelor whose three flight attendant girlfriends all stop in for a layover on the same day, crashed and burned when it premiered on Broadway in 1965. But Big Ben Brantley at the Times is now calling it “the makeover of the season that has no earthly right to be as funny as it is… The second act was unconditional blissdistilled pure pleasure from an impure source.” – John Del Signore

7 p.m. // The Longacre Theatre [220 West 48th Street] // Ticket prices vary.

Hey, I organized the show at Crash Mansion tonight. Let me clarify a few things: MyOpenBar is not involved in this party. David from A&A is not a member of Sigmund Droid, although he may or may not be there tonight. The show is free if you RSVP at http://going.com/droidski if you don't RSVP it's $5.

Thanks for posting!
