Pencil This In
EVENT: Earlier this year Holly Hunter encountered an interesting situation with an interviewer for a news station (we highly recommend watching the YouTube video of this). She discussed her tv series Saving Grace at the time, and she'll be doing the same tonight at the Paley Center (old Museum of TV and Radio). There will be a Q&A as well as a screening of one of the episodes.
6pm // The Paley Center for Media [25 W 52nd St] // $30
READING: Anthony Bourdain is not only a top celebrity chef, he's also collaborated with Queens of the Stone Age for a Holiday Special AND has travelogued his way through 28 countries. In his book No Reservations: Around the World on an Empty Stomach he dishes on everything from the best and worst cuisine to the best and worst bathrooms.
7pm // Barnes & Noble [33 E 17th St] // Free
COMEDY: Shoot the Messenger is a "satirical wrap-up of the week's news from the brain of Daily Show Co-creator Lizz Winstead." The live sketch-comedy show has a lot going on and tonight they've got Jim Walsh, who recently authored The Replacements: All Over But the Shouting: An Oral History.
8pm // Cabaret Under ACME [9 Great Jones St] // $10
MUSIC: Come celebrate the 5 year anniversary of Jinners.com tonight. She's been blogging about the NYC music scene for a long time, so of course she's put together a lineup of great bands for her party. Catch Cheeseburger, Neckbear Telecaster, The Big Sleep and Coin Under Tongue. RSVP here to get in for free.
