With Capital Weather indicating that this weekend should be quite nice, with temperatures in the low 80s with partly cloudy skies, DCist encourages you to get out, enjoy the weekend and perhaps do something new.

How about exploring a maize maze near Leesburg? Or near the Capitol Reflecting Pool, there’s an outdoor exhibit from Jerusalem’s Museum on the Seam that is supposed to get viewers to think about living side-by-side. Then there is always the Capital Home Show at the Dulles Expo Center.

FRIDAY:
— Drive-By Truckers play country-fried rock at the 9:30 Club
— D.C.’s Rockmaster General plays at the Velvet Lounge

SATURDAY:
— Eat, drink, be merry at Blocktoberfest, Ballston
— Annual Open House at the Washington National Cathedral

SUNDAY:
— Get down to the National Mall, it’s the last day of First Americans Festival
— Old 97s (pictured here), 9:30 Club
— Nick Lowe, Birchmere
— Queer Eye for the Straight Guy’s Carson Kressley will be at Olsson’s in Arlington to sign his new style book

There’s so much more going on, what are you doing?
