BOOKS—Tig Notaro is coming to town, guys! Okay, sure, she’s the moderator for Carrie Brownstein’s reading of her new memoir, Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl. But still… TIG! So funny. So smart. So delightful. Maybe we can trick Carrie into asking Tig questions?! COURTNEY FERGUSON

BASKETBALL—Let’s be realistic: This season of Blazers games is probably going to be a series in which our home team will have a chance of winning against crappy opponents (such as today’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies), or painful displays in which we’ll “get our dicks kicked in,” as one fan put it—a true test of loyalty.
