MOCKINGJAY—If you're a Harry Potter fan who sneers at the Twilight series, then not only are you clearly a discriminating consumer of YA fiction, but I hope you're hip to Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games trilogy. Like Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret meets Battle Royale, Collins' smart, gritty series follows a scrappy heroine pitted against an oppressive dystopian regime. Powell's celebrates the release of the much-anticipated final book, Mockingjay, with a midnight release party, costume contest, trivia, and games. AH

EXPERIMENT—A double whammy of excellent modern psychedelia hits town with Brooklyn's Oneida teaming with our own native AU for a night of mind-warping non-linear experiments that don't ignore the past 30 years of musical progress. No wavy-gravy dancing required. MS
