· Designer Todd Oldham seeks to sate your unholy lust for low-level home improvement projects at the Barnes and Noble in the Grove, where he discusses his book, Handmade Modern: Mid-Century-Inspired Projects for Your Home. Bring your jigsaw...and your dreams. And maybe some stained glass fragments, just in case you want to whip up a cool desk lamp.
· Oh yes, there is music: Electric Six (we had a tinny "Danger! High Voltage!" ringtone, like, two years ago) with VHS or Beta at the El Rey; Regina Spektor at the Roxy; Album Leaf at Knitting Factory.
· John Tesh seeks to turn your hundred-dollar charity tickets into hope for tsunami victims at the Kids of Hope Tsunami Benefit Gala. This is no time to snicker at the New Age-flavored synthesizer soundscape that is Tesh's music—he's trying to help, and what are you doing, Mr. Music Elitist? Also, Anne Hathaway will be there, and we hear she's promised to marry us if ten Defamer readers attend the benefit.
