To Do: Ephemera, Hotel, Oswalt
· Monday Evening Multimedia Collage Special: The Red Cat hosts Panorama Ephemera, an exhibit by artist Rick Prelinger, who will appear in person to explain it all.
· Music-related concerts of interest: The Jimmy Chamberlin Complex, featuring former Smashing Pumpkins skin-smasher, ahem, Jimmy Chamberlain, play the Troubadour; Ed Harcourt performs at the Hotel Café; also: someone named Moby plugs his new CD, Hotel, at the W Hotel. Afterwards, he will retire upstairs to perform turndown service for all the W's guests as part of his high-concept promotional tour. (It's a free show, btw.)
· Patton Oswalt, whom we are contractually obligated to mention once nearly made us vomit from laughing Paul F. Tompkins tries to induce a similarly joyful puking fit in the audience at M Bar. (Thanks to the reader who pointed out the error, and who also pointed out there's a great show at Largo with Sarah Silverman as well.)
