READING: Check out today's interviewee, Peter Yarrow, tonight at Barnes and Noble where he'll be performing and signing the recently published Puff, the Magic Dragon book. C'mon, you know you've always wanted to hear that song live!
6pm // Barnes & Noble [Lincoln Center] // Free
MUSIC: Daft Punk will be rocking Keyspan Park tonight, it's sold out but you can still get tickets on Craigslist.
Elsewhere in Brooklyn The Hold Steady, The Big Sleep and Teenage Prayers will be playing for a small fee of $3. Celebrate Brooklyn and almost-free music!
7pm // Prospect Park Bandshell [Prospect Park West & 9th Street] // $3
If you prefer to pay for your rock...head over to Cafe Wha? for KISSNATION. Yep, that's NYC's very own KISS cover band. Have a listen here, then rock n' roll all nite.
7pm // Cafe Wha? [115 Macdougal St] // $10
THEATER: So you didn't catch Romeo & Juliet in The Park this summer, but that doesn't mean you can't see a performance of the Shakespeare tragedy for free. The Classical Theatre of Harlem brings its production Downtown to Tompkins Square Park tonight!
8pm // Tompkins Square Park // Free
MOVIE: We're guessing there will be two groups at this screening of The Wizard of Oz tonight: kids and people who smoked pot and listened to Dark Side of the Moon while the movie played. We're sure both will enjoy the free popcorn!
8pm // Hudson River Park, Pier 46 // Free

Re: Peter Yarrow
Only in America could one convicted of taking indecent liberties with a child, serve some time, get 'pardoned' by a President, then return to write chidren's book. You can readily search Mr. Yarrow's past although it is somewhat buried.
I wonder if former President Carter could have known that Mr. Yarrow would slink out of quiet retirement to dabble with children; would this have precluded his pardon, and I especially question if a "Pardon" can undo issues of moral turptitude?
