It’s one of those rare occasions when the first day of the workweek aligns with the first day of a new month. Why is this significant? It’s not, other than the fact that it affords you a symbolic fresh slate after this past weekend’s ghoulish debauchery. If you’re looking for ways to break from your routine and start November on the right foot (speaking of which, don’t forget to vote by Tuesday), scroll our latest roundup of music shows, performances, readings, and more ways to keep busy this week, from $uicideboy$ to Demetri Martin, and from` David Sedaris to the Seattle Night Market.

Modernist Pizza: Exploring Pizza’s Cultural Significance
Chef Francisco Migoya and Nathan Myrhvold, co-authors of the James Beard Award-winning tome Modernist Bread, have applied their notoriously obsessive research methods and experimentation to a new topic: pizza. After spending four years researching, traveling thousands of miles, and sampling over 400 pizzas across the country, their 1,708-page treatise on the topic, which spans three volumes and a recipe manual, is finally here. At this virtual event, Migoya will talk about how pizza became one of the world’s most universally beloved foods, followed by a pre-recorded 10-minute Neapolitan pizza demo.
