Edward Norton To Run Marathon With Warriors

Edward Norton may run 15 miles twice a day, but does that mean he'll be able to keep up with the three Maasai warriors who will be running alongside him next month at the New York Marathon?

Landmarks Go Dark Saturday for Earth Hour

Last year New York City stayed plugged in while many major cities around the globe powered down for Earth Hour. Instead, Rufus Wainwright tried to recreate the blackout with a 12-hour "Blackout Sabbath" on March 19th—if you don't remember it, then it probably didn't go as planned.

We caught Pete and J earlier this year at the Living Room and their sound fit and filled the space perfectly. They put their own twist on folk rock that you can check out this Saturday when they play the venue again. But first, get to know your friendly neighborhood troubadours...

Anyway, the announcement was "upbeat," according to the NY Times, and WNYC said it was like an awards ceremony, with people thanking and giving shout-outs to everyone. There was Archbishop Desmond Tutu and actor Edward Norton (on the board of the Signature). There was dance choreographed by David Parsons, and Governor Pataki joked/scared the bejesus out of attendees by saying that he and Mayor Bloomberg were originally participating in the dance. This is exciting news, it's just too bad we have to wait a few years for it.
