After a dry February, it's looking like the first weekend of March will be a wet one, with a storm moving in Thursday that's promising a couple inches of rain. Here's what you can get up to this weekend while staying dry. 

Kick things off at the GLBT History Museum, with the opening of the new exhibition Feminists to Feministas: Women of Color in Prints & Posters. 29 rare posters, dating from the 1970s to 1990s, will be on display, "tracing the power of lesbians, bisexual women, and transwomen of color who rallied for sexual freedom and economic justice in the fight against racism, sexism and imperialism."

If you haven't had a chance to catch the season eight premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race, stop by Mahogany Mondays: RuPaul's Drag Race Viewing Party on Monday. The event is hosted by former contestant Honey Mahogany, who provides her insight into the workings of the show, and Sister Roma, who offers wit and comedy. The viewing party will be held every Monday, all season long.

At Sunday's Academy Awards, Spotlight, the story of the journalists who uncovered the sex abuse scandal in the Catholic Church, walked away with Best Picture. To celebrate, the Castro Theatre will be showing the film on the big screen along with another Oscar-nominated classic about journalists uncovering a big story, All the President's Men.

Here are a few more of our favorite events in the neighborhood this weekend. For the chance to see your event potentially featured in an upcoming events roundup, submit it here, and be sure to check out hoodline.com/events for a full listing of everything that's going on around the city.
