THIS WEEK: Pivot, Pantsuit Nation meetup, Led Zep classical-style and more
The Flaming Lips headline Saturday at The Knitting Factory. Prediction: Both you and the band will have a ball.
A bevy of entertaining options await those with some adventure in their hearts, and you can find them in our event listings and Staff Picks.
Here are some highlights of the week ahead:

LIVE MUSIC | The Celtic-tinged Flogging Molly headline the Knit, joined by The White Buffalo. Here's a little sample of the Flogging sound:

Wednesday, May 10
COMMUNITY | The Pantsuit Nation evolved out of Hillary Clinton's supporters last November, and has turned into a massive support group for folks disturbed by the country's direction. Auntie's is hosting a Pantsuit Nation Book Launch and Meetup at 7 pm.
