DOCUMENTARY: The NY Historical Society continues to celebrate Abraham Lincoln. Tonight they'll be screening parts of the PBS documentary Looking for Lincoln, which "addresses many of the controversies surrounding Lincoln - race, equality, religion, politics, and depression—by carefully interpreting evidence from those who knew him and those who study him today." A panel of experts will also be on hand for a discussion; more details here.

EVENT: The Make Fun folks invite you to "Make Fat Tuesday into Craft Tuesday. Come celebrate Mardi Gras in a productive, festive and creative way. Make things!

Make Fun offers fabric, jewels, feathers, and a huge selection of materials to help inspire any creative project. Use our sewing machines, hot glue guns, scissors and tools to build and make whatever you wish." The cover includes materials and cheap wine!

THEATER: For one night only, go-go dancer, writer, performance artist, and singer Max Steele (MySpace) presents his Lover, Ferocious (The Horrible Time You Tried to Kill Me) at Dixon Place. He says the show's about "the post-apocalyptic landscapes of NY, the search for Big Sweet Love, queer monsters and voodoo." So it's basically a docudrama. — John Del Signore
