To Do: Nick Flynn, Architecture in Helsinki, or Inaccessible Benefits

• Another Bullshit Night in Suck City writer Nick Flynn tells you how he spent his early twenties being an alcoholic bum at a reading at Sebastian Junger haunt Half King. We re still waiting for our turn to pen a memoir about being an alcoholic bum in our early twenties. [Half King]
• Architecture in Helsinki are actually from Australia, but they play Warsaw at the Polish National Home in Brooklyn tonight. Quirky chamber pop has never made us feel more mislead, or multinational. [Paper]
• Tonight s Hurricane Katrina show at Bowery Ballroom featuring Sufjan Stevens, Adam Green, and Grizzly Bear is, unfortunately, sold out. Though if you haven t given to the Red Cross by now, attending a single benefit concert likely isn t saving your soul. [flavorpill]
