Oh yes, No one belongs here more than you.

You have to see this amazingly weird website for her new book No One Belongs Here More Than You!
Nobody handles those quirky little moments in life like her.
Nobody writes the tender, lonely yet delicate connections between humans like her.
Nobody uses the title like her.
If you could get me, You will know her name is Miranda July.
If you miss her sold out performance Things we Don't Understand and Definitely are Not Going to Talk About two months ago in The Kitchen , here are some of her books tour events in the city:
An evening with Miranda July in support of her debut collection of stories.
  • May 25th, New York Public Library (5th & 42nd)
Miranda July with Becky Stark, and a conversation with David Byrne.

and please check on the website that July is touring to other cities and to Europe.

Tonic與樂生


今天，4月13號，再過幾個小時黑夜降臨的晚上，紐約最重要的前衛音樂表演場地Tonic即將拉上鐵門。今晚，由John Zorn關門之後，Tonic結束他們在Lower East Side九年的生涯。

事實上，紐約的音樂表演場地正處於一個新的局面，新的表演場地如Highline Ballroom, Gramercy Theather和掛上傳奇性Fillmore招牌的Irving Plaza，不斷的加入夏季即將來臨的紐約活躍音樂表演版圖。

然而，這又是一個不斷在這個金錢利益至上的城市裡上演的故事。歷經兩年前的搶救Tonic活動，Tonic還是不能逃脫與去年關門的CBGB有相同的命運，紐約的音樂表演場地又一個走向了歷史。

而在另一端的台灣，同樣有一個與金錢利益對抗的活動，4月15號的樂生大遊行，希望這對樂生院的阿公阿嬤們不會是一個句點。
