To-do: Plasticman, Dictionary of Republicanisms, or Broken Social Scene

• Plasticman, along with Jammer and Skepta, create a "post-jungle diaspora" tonight at Rothko. Perhaps the open bar from 10-11 will help you figure out what the hell that means. [flavorpill]
• Nation editor Katrina vanden Heuvel will read from her Dictionary of Republicanisms tonight at 7. It's no Talking Bush doll, but we imagine there will be some good knock knock jokes. Barnes & Noble at 82nd Street and Broadway.
• The Broken Social Scene show at Webster Hall is sold out, but try and bully your way in anyway: Canadians seldom put up a fight. [Upcoming]
