To Do: Nellie, Keg Stands, And Uma's Daddy
· TV on the Radio, Dizzee Rascal, and piano-tinkling hip-hop moppet Nellie McKay play the Shortlist Music Prize Concert at Avalon. And if you're into surprises, (who doesn't love a surprise?) there'll be a special guest from the Shortlist in the mix as well.
· Tom Wolfe will pick up his trademark white suit from the dry cleaners and head over to Dutton’s Brentwood to read from his new college novel, I Am Charlotte Simmons, at 7 p.m. It's mandatory that at least one attendee ask him to discuss the "the keg stand as academic coming-of-age ritual."
· Buddhist scholar (and (Uma daddy) Robert Thurman talks about Anger: The Seven Deadly Sins with with congenitally chatty director/metaphysical mentee David O. Russell at 7 p.m at the Central Library.
