ART: The Bronx Museum of Art is getting on board the First Friday bandwagon. They'll be opening their doors every first Friday of the month for free, and add a little something extra each time. Tonight their theme is “Say it Loud! I’m Black & I’m Proud” in celebration of Black History Month. There will be a tribute to the late James Brown, and a showcase of independent artists paying tribute to black music.

Dear Gothamist,

Our one quibble with last night's Project Runway Reunion was that it was too short. This should have been a two-hour special.

Our Wednesday nights have purpose again, as Project Runway starts its third season and pull us out of our rerun doldrums. The audition show was on last night and will repeat tonight at 9PM before the 10PM season three premiere. And have you read Tim Gunn's blog entry about the season three auditions? Here's Tim's transcript of what happened in LA:

Got time over the next week? Here's an interesting way to spend some of it: On June 30 Sothebys is going to be auctioning off reams of the personal documents of Martin Luther King, Jr. from between 1946 and 1968. Everything from report cards - he didn't get straight A's - to drafts of his "I Have a Dream" speech are on the block (as a collection only) and for the next week it is available to be seen by the public for free.

THEATER: The Ohio Theater is the site of two of summer's best play festivals, and the first, Clubbed Thumb's eleventh Summerworks, started yesterday with Anne Washburn's I Have Loved Strangers, "in which true prophets, false prophets, and non-prophets battle for the salvation of ancient New York."

Over the next weeks, two other plays will be in the festival -- Erin Courtney's Alice the Magnet, and Rachel Hoeffel's Quail -- but each is showing for only a few days, so get under the thumb while you can. - Mallory Jensen

It's starting to look increasingly likely the Hillary Clinton has made a pact with the devil, because all of her opponents' campaigns seem to go down in flames before they even get started. We all remember what happened last month with Jeanine ("Do I Have Page 10?") Pirro-- things were looking so bad that Pataki forced her to pull out of the race. Now it looks like a similar fate is about to befall KT McFarland, the new Republican hopeful. Earlier this week the papers began asking if she's been padding her resume. That would probably have been survivable, but today it looks like her campaign has officially jumped the shark. The Post has the story:

Fact: Thunder Road is the greatest song penned by an American songwriter in the last 30 years. This is an unarguable, unassailable, unquestionable truth.
