Shameless plug: If you're in the neighborhood Friday night, be sure to stop by and say whaddup. TUA goes on at 11:15 pm.

Be warned: We also heard they're shooting a segment for "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" at Plaid that same night. So, uh, wear some extra hair gel or something.

Spring is in the air… and so are men with breasts who drink Diet Vanilla Pepsi and fellate underage boys in Central Park trees. Yawn.

Here's what else:

1. The Yankees suggged it bad against the BoSox at the Stadium over the weekend. On Friday, we sat through six unanswered runs, seven innings, pouring rain, a handful of ejections, 20 "assss-hole!" chants and two projectile beer-tossings before finally calling it a night.

2. Chrissy Fessler breaks out another hot list, this time Sperling's "most stressful places to live." In this round, Bakersfield (#34) gets the edge over Fresno (#45).

3. The guys at Low Culture have outdone themselves. Following last week's ridiculous decision by several newspapers to censor Doonesbury because of its "graphic" depiction of war, L.C. decided to remake the comic strip as MTV's "I Want a Famous Face." Nothing like mentally unstable teenagers to keep us numb to war.

4. Naomi Watts loves the corn at Café Habana as much as we do. But we refrained from asking her to sign our plate of black beans.

5. If you're in Boston tomorrow, go see former Westside posse member Smooth-E perform at the Charles Playhouse. His parody of R. Kelly's "Re-ignition" is brilliant. Download it.

6. Reminder: Tomorrow is "Free Cone Day" at Ben & Jerry's. They're also giving away iTunes downloads.

7. The Bronx is beautiful. Go visit Van Cortlandt Park. Not so beautiful, however, is The Bronx.

8. This is a week old, but I'm playing catch-up: Sparta (that other band featuring members of At the Drive-In) played an early club show at CBGB, in advance of their new disc, "Porcelain," due out in July. If Mars Volta is too much Yes-Rush-prog-rock wanking for you -- though who can get too much of that? -- Sparta does a fine job with the straight-ahead stuff.
