to do: women holding court edition

If there is any chance that Courtney Love is hanging out in New York this weekend after her court appearance, then obviously your plans are set. You must stalk her like a mother-effing stalker, and see if you can get her to rant randomly at you from her perch on a bathroom floor. Again.
 
If, however, C.Lo declines to grace us with her presence (and attendant words of wisdom), you will have to look elsewhere for entertainment and inspiration over the Sabbath. May we humbly suggest the Trampoline Hall Lecture Series, which arrives in Manhattan this Sunday at Marquee, 356 Bowery, at 7:30 pm. Everyone loves a good non-expert opinion from time to time (George W. especially, apparently), and the premise of Trampoline Hall is exactly that: accomplished professionals offer short lectures (followed by Q & A) on topics that have nothing to do with their field of expertise. Pop culture-related topics are disallowed, ensuring that the evening will at least begin by establishing lofty cultural heights from which to fall. You can read about the 2002 lecture tour at McSweeney's.
 
For various reasons, of varying relevance to you the reader, two-twenty is particularly looking forward to gallery director Sheri Pasquarella's treatise on the Hoover dam and its connection to Man, Nature, and Greek Mythology. And possibly Star Wars.
 
In related news, we would be remiss if we did not recommend that everyone go see newly-employed
Eurotrash, newly-housed Lindsayism, and newly-politicized Ultragrrrl at the WYSIWYG Talent Show next Tuesday. TMFTML sightings are likely. Oh, and bring a spoon.
