For those who used to follow the D.C. post-punk band The Dismemberment Plan — and I know there are plenty of you out there because you always blocked my view when the Plan played at the Metro — note that Travis Morrison is playing two shows in Brooklyn next week on Dec. 14. Should be interesting.

Check out Robert’s Snow, the Web site for my friend Alice‘s sister’s online charity auction. The auction is for snowflakes decorated by a number of popular children’s book authors and illustrators, including Chris Van Allsburg (author of The Polar Express) and Ian Falconer (creator of Olivia). Proceeds from the auction will go toward the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in honor of Robert, Alice’s brother-in-law, who is a cancer survivor. The auction ends in three days.
