The origins of April Fool`s day can be traced back to the Gregorian calendar reform of 1582 which resulted in the New Year being moved from aproximately April 1st to January 1st. People who forgot or didn't accept the new date were considered April Fools. Over time this transformed itself into the hoaxes and trick playing common today.

Passover Begins Tonight
Passover begins tonight at 7:35 PM (in New York). The lucky born chosen get to spend the next two nights feasting and the next eight celebrating. If not well, then at least you can enjoy shorter lines at the Magnolia Bakery...
FFWD
On the first Wednesday night of every month Lolita Bar hosts DJ Ty and the indie rock night FFWD. Sets feature a mix of new released and yet to be released tracks with a few indie hits from the last year thrown in for good measure. You can check out set lists from previous nights and even scam a few MP3s at the FFWD site.

Craft Night
Every Monday night Williamsburg's Stain Bar hosts PAINTstain, a "talent optional" craft night. Dabble a bit - sketch, sculpt, knit, write, whatever strikes your fancy. Bring friends and create a collaborative work, or just sink deep into a comfy couch have a drink and listen to the live jazz.
Smut
A respectable array of New York City writers gathers at Galapagos every Monday for this strangely highbrow/lowbrow weekly smut, erotic performance, reading, and discussion. The quality of the readings and performances vary wildly, but at its best this can be really, very amusing stuff and the Galapagos space, large with tall ceiling and an easily accessible bar, makes an ideal venue.
