Monday, April 23, 2007 Doors 6PM / Show 7:30PM Tickets Advance: $15 + $4 processing fee Day of Show: $20 + $4 processing fee Save money! Processing fee is only $1 when you purchase with CASH at the box office BEFORE day of show! General Admission: Some chairs and tables will be available but seating is first-come, first-served. Running alongside (and occasionally eclipsing) the singular path taken by her beloved group Throwing Muses, Kristin Hersh's solo career has revealed several new facets to this prolific talent. Her acoustic debut, Hips And Makers, was released in early 1994. Co-produced by Patti Smith guitarist Lenny Kaye, the album's quiet intensity and articulate songcraft proved a potent combination, and it outsold all of the Muses' back catalogue - thanks in part to the hit single "Your Ghost", a cello-laden duet with REM's Michael Stipe. Her latest release is Learn to Sing Like a Star, a spacious, sumptuous record with emphatic energy, stripped ballads, deceptively breezy upbeat numbers and dreamy tunes.

NEW YORK, NY (March 14) – Barnes & Noble, Inc. (NYSE: BKS), the world’s largest bookseller, today announced the next event in its new series, “Upstairs at the Square,” held at the Union Square Barnes & Noble in Manhattan (33 East 17th Street at Union Square). On Thursday, April 12, at 7pm, singer-songwriter Aidan Moffat and his band, The Best-ofs, and Ian Rankin, whose new novel is The Naming of the Dead (Little, Brown & Company), discuss and perform their work. Journalist Katherine Lanpher hosts the program, presented in association with the Scottish Book Trust as part of the Isle of Jura Festival of Scottish Writing. Admission is free, and no tickets are required. Seating is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. In his decade of recording as half of the seminal Scottish indie band, Arab Strap, Aidan Moffat made music best described as “an elegiac lament for loves won and lost.” Moffat has also made three albums as the solo artist L. Pierre, been a part of Scottish supergroup, The Reindeer Section, recorded his first spoken-word style album of poetry, I Can Hear Your Heart, and formed a new band, Aidan Moffat & The Best-Ofs, performing for the first time at Upstairs at the Square (only scheduled appearance in 2007). The band, currently at work on an album, can be heard on Ballads of the Book, a new compilation featuring “The Sixth Stone,” with lyrics by Ian Rankin. Ian Rankin is the United Kingdom’s number-one bestselling crime author, famous for the acclaimed Inspector Rebus series, which has topped the Sunday Times bestseller lists and been adapted into a major TV series. On his origins as a writer, Rankin writes, “I grew up in a small coal-mining town in central Scotland.… It was mind-boggling to me that (at the age of 11 or 12) I could not gain access to a movie theatre to see such classics as The Godfather, A Clockwork Orange or Straw Dogs, yet no one stopped me from borrowing these titles from my library. Books seemed to have about them a whiff of the illicit and the dangerous. That was all the encouragement I needed.” Katherine Lanpher is an award-winning print and broadcast journalist. Springboard Press recently published her first book, Leap Days: Chronicle of a Midlife Move. The next “Upstairs on the Square” will take place on Thursday, May 10, at 7PM, and features French author Anna Gavalda (Hunting and Gathering) and musician Rosie Thomas (These Friends of Mine). Audio downloads of all eight previous events are available on Barnes & Noble.com (bn.com/upstairs). About Barnes & Noble, Inc. Barnes & Noble, Inc.

Wu Wei Martial Arts Presents "Traditional Tai Chi for Today'...
Where: Irving Plaza
Date: 2007-09-28 16:00:00
Type:
Traditional Chinese Healing for Today’s Body As the body ages, it stiffens and is more susceptible to pain and injuries. You don’t need to remember a long series of movements to achieve the health benefits of Tai Chi. In this workshop we divide a Tai Chi form into separate exercises that are easy to learn. With its smooth flowing postures and deep breathing, Tai Chi improves flexibility and strengthens joints to alleviate pain and improve posture, balance, and coordination. The course focuses on common problem areas such as the back and knees. Participants are encouraged to request exercises for their own specific needs. Kevin Sullivan, the instructor for this workshop, has studied and taught martial arts for over twenty years. He has a 3rd degree black belt in Chung Moo Doe Asian Martial Arts (which requires expertise in 8 martial arts). He produces the award-winning cable television program “Tai Chi Made Easy” (which airs in Manhattan and Queens, New York) to share his knowledge with a wide audience. http://web.mac.com/wuwei18/iWeb/WuweiMartialArts/
