President's Day is this weekend, which means three day weekends for all! While we're happy to have an extra day off in the middle of winter, this is not exactly the kind of holiday where you bust out the barbecue and grill for your friends. No.
Instead, take this weekend to reflect on all that our Founding Fathers did to give us this great land of liberties, Hollywood, and epic weather patterns. Actually, what we're really trying to say is this: for Washington's sake, will you please crack open a history book and reflect on the American Revolution? I mean, sheesh.

Looking for a bit of distraction for your three day weekend? BroadwayWorld.com's iPad app gives you top stories in the world of theater, as well as special offers and discounted ticket rates.
You might be asking yourself: what does theater have to do with President's Day? Well, President Abraham Lincoln loved going to the theater…and, actually that didn't end up too well, so maybe you are better off skipping the theater and going out for a walk or something.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Abraham Lincoln was a bad ass. Not only did he free the slaves, but after he was shot dead he resurrected and became a vampire hunter. We're talking Buffy the Vampire Slayer-type of action against John Wilkes Booth, confederate slave owners and other undead evildoers. The goal of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is to help Abe advance levels by shooting the vampires and collecting random objects. And when you're all finished, you can thank Abe for some of the wonderful things we have today--like Lincoln Logs. Man, those things are fun.
