Many people consider today a holiday -- it is the
home opener for the Cardinals -- but before you head to the ballpark or to work then the ballpark, here's what you missed over the weekend. It was a busy one in St. Louis.
Ting-Tings at the Pageant

On Friday night, British pop duo the Ting-Tings played the Pageant. The show was
originally scheduled to be held at the Duck Room at Blueberry Hill, but the demand for tickets forced it down the street to the much larger Pageant. How was the show? Find out in
A to Z and see pics in our
slide show.

Music Editor Annie Zaleski was out at two shows on Friday night, first catching "gothic synth-folk" group the Rosebuds at the
Lemp, and then heading off the
Billiken Club on the campus of Saint Louis University for a set by Beach House, a band that specializes in "viscous dreampop and sleepy-time slo-core." For recaps of those shows, video and photos -- plus more creative genre descriptions, check out

World Pillow Fight Day

On Saturday afternoon, about 80 kids converged under the Gateway Arch with pillows in hand to take part in
World Pillow Fight Day. Impromptu pillow fights were held in cities across the world Saturday. In St. Louis, park rangers warned the pillow-swingers about frightening "old people and the small children around," reports freelance photographer David Walthall. See photos of the softies in our
pillow fight slide show. And if you were wondering, yes, it's the same group of kids who set up those "
silent raves" in February.

New indie-and-dance party at
Dante's Nightclub, "Filthy," debuted on on Saturday. Reports say the crowd was thin, but not too bad for an opening night. Check out the scene for yourself via this
slide show from Filthy.
In music, the big show tonight is the
Hold Steady at the Gargoyle. For the rest of what's going on this week, check our our
well-stocked calendar.
