1. Brit it model Agyness Deyn is DJing this Thursday night at the Plumm. Keep your eyes peeled for new beau Albert Hammond Jr... 2. Finally, an Iron-Chef-like experience for vegetarians! On July 22, Eric Battes, Wylie Dufresne, Edward Higgins and Akinobu Suzui are putting "their tofu technique to the test" at the Tofu Around The World Cook-Off, from 3-5 p.m. at the Astor Center. 3. In sad news, we just learned that Johnny Schou, the bassist for punk rock band , was found dead this morning at his home in Colorado. According to a press release, "The quartet from Fort Collins was to celebrate the release of their debut album with an in-store appearance in Denver today. Further information regarding the band's plans, and dates that have been previously announced, will be forthcoming in due time. Johnny Schou was 22 years-old." 4. The Metropolitan Museum of Art released a statement today regarding 15th Century Andrea della Robbia glazed terra-cotta relief, which fell from the wall early this morning, suffering some damage. "Museum curators and conservators are at work this morning fully assessing the situation, trying to determine the cause of the accident, and considering the next steps." 5. Eater is reporting that downtown restaurateur Keith McNally is looking to open up an eater in the old Adams Restaurant Supply Store at 282 Bowery (a few steps south of Houston). 6. What are you doing reading this! Go to Bergdorfs, Barneys and Saks, where we hear everything is 70 percent off!
