Pencil This In

php7TK8NTPM.jpgDRINK: Hey Singles, Bottlerocket Wine shop invites you to "Get Some" this month at their singles event that's titled just that. Their idea is simple: "Discover a new wine. Taste a new cocktail. Meet a potential date." The series kicks off tonight with the hard stuff! They'll be pouring some Lucid Absinthe, so even if you don't really meet someone, maybe you'll hallucinate that you did. (Pictured: the poet Verlaine drinking Absinthe.)

6 to 8 p.m. // Bottlerocket Wine & Spirit [5 West 19th St] // Free

THEATER: The Soho Think Tank's Ice Factory Festival continues with Red-Haired Thomas, a new play written by the Think Tank’s artistic director Robert Lyons and directed by Oliver Butler, who’s as highly regarded for his competitive cheese consumption as his inspired work with The Debate Society. The show has something to do with Thomas Jefferson, whose “daughter doesn't need him. His wife might leave him. His newspaper vender just might kill him. A gambler's darkly comic, spiraling descent into a paranoid mythology of power point presentations and hostage videos.” – John Del Signore

7 p.m. // Ohio Theatre [66 Wooster Street] // $15

MUSIC/COMEDY: Tapes 'n Tapes will be at Sound Fix tonight for a free show after their set at McCarren Park Pool. It's likely to be jam-packed, so get there early and catch the Big Terrific comedy show (this week Todd Barry, Patrick Borelli and others will take the stage). Both are free!

8 p.m. for comedy, 10:30 p.m. for music // Sound Fix [110 Bedford Ave, Williamsburg] // Free

PARTY: All Points West starts tomorrow, but the party starts tonight. Join Bloc Party, Chromeo and The Virgins as they work the turntables and kick things off in Brooklyn tonight. The party goes til 3 a.m., so you're sure to be nice and hungover for the ferry ride to Liberty State Park tomorrow.

11 p.m. to 3 a.m. // Williamsburg Warehouse [50 N 3rd St, Williamsburg] // Free with RSVP
