Cute, creepy... this could go either way. A new company called Stuffed in the City promises to give your toy the time of its life in the Big Apple, since you can't afford to, or since you suffer from enochlophobia, or whatever. Like the gnome in Amelie, your toy's trip will be visually documented so you can become increasingly jealous of it as it visits all of the landmarks you wanted to see, and could see if only you didn't spend all of your money on useless stuffed animals! Let's face it, there are a lot of blanks to fill in here, so here's what we're told about the tour (which costs $100): more ›

Julian Koster, member of the Elephant 6 Collective, former member of the legendary Neutral Milk Hotel and current leader of The Music Tapes, will be playing in Central Park tonight to his two stuffed animals. An acorn will be your ticket in, and there are plenty of other instructions that should keep you busy up until show time, which is 10:46 p.m. (not a moment sooner). This is a rain date for a previously scheduled show--read the original details here and updates here. Give a listen to Music Tapes album then head up to the mouth of the American Museum of Natural History. UPDATE: Looks like we received a bad tip and this show actually appears to have happened last year, our apologies! Looks like the rain would have stopped it anyway. [via Hard to Find a Friend] more ›
