· The late famed sculptor Isamu Noguchi said, "It is space itself which gives validity to sculpture—beyond objects there is always the situation, the time, the performer and the spectator. All are in re-alignment...in constant flux." Dude must have smoked a lot of weed.

· Kate Walbert's latest book, "Our Kind," was nominated for the 2004 National Book review.

She appears tonight at Lolita as part of the Cupcake reading series. [Cupcake]
· "So Jealous", from Canadian idential twin duo Tegan and Sara, was named one for Rolling Stones' "Top 50 Albums of 2004." We all know better than to trust Rolling Stone on any matters musical, but these cute lesbians rock. 10:30pm at Bowery Ballroom. [flavorpill]
