2007_07_arts_welch.jpgREADING: Brian Welch formed the band Korn, but he has plenty of other stories to tell in his new book Save Me From Myself. He was born-again after an addiction to alcohol, Meth and Xanax, is so over "chasing the mightly buck", regrets punching his wife, and is now buddies with Stephen Baldwin. Get your book signed, get saved, etc.

7pm // Barnes and Noble [4 Astor Place] // Free

THEATER: Tonight is your last chance to take in what Metro NY declares “the perfect diversion for a summer night.” Called Old Tricks, Red Metal Mailbox has transformed the Chocolate Factory’s basement space into a slapdash boardwalk theater at the turn of the 20th century, replete with gas lamps and Rube Goldberg-inspired circus contraptions. It’s an atmospheric mix of music, dance and burlesque turned inside-out by three increasingly competitive “carnival lovelies”, who give a performance that is “part freak-show, part dance-hall, and all magic.” - John Del Signore

8pm // The Chocolate Factory [5-49 49th Ave, L.I.C..] // Tickets cost $15.

EVENT: The North Brooklyn Giglio Festival starts...now! Gowanus Lounge points out "it's the 120th Annual Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and San Paolino di Nola. If you've never been, we highly recommend the Gilgio lifts, in which crews lift the five-story, three-ton Giglio and carries down Havemeyer Street, pausing to make it 'dance' and turn. For more detail on this uniquely Williamsburg tradition that survives in the face of construction and significant neighborhood change, visit the Giglio Feast Website."

Today through July 16th // North 8th St and Havemeyer, Williamsburg
