To Do: Surf, Paint, Ash
· Rebecca Heller signs Surf Like a Girl, more of an empowering how-to guide than an invitation to be a wave-riding sissy, at Borders in Santa Monica. Does anyone say tubular anymore? Tubular.
· We tend to break out in hives at the mere suggestion that we do something "cultural," but that shouldn't stop you from being classy: The Getty hosts a lecture on Rembrandt’s late religious portraits. If his paintings are nearly as good as his tooth-whitening system, your ass is going to be blown right off your body.
· Three shows, musical: Mark Gardener (from RIDE) at the Derby; Jason Faulkner at the Viper Room; Ash at the Knitting Factory.
