To Do: Lit Hotties, Laughter, Oscar Counterprogramming

Hey, what are you doing this weekend? You might consider attending an art fair; there are seven to choose among. Also, maybe you should watch real live comedians onstage on Sunday night instead of watching Ellen dance with penguins on TV: the Whitest Kids U Know have a show. Don't let them down! And tonight, you might as well get some real culture: Bridie Clark and Gary Shteyngart are both reading from their respective novels. Who will have a better Q&A? You'll never know if you don't go.
