We swear to God, D.C. is the only town where every main street looks like a ghost town during the nights when prez and vice prez debates take place. You know what? You deserve a night out if you watched that entire snoozefest on C-SPAN yesterday evening. Have at it:
The bluesy-rock act the Black Keys hit up the 9:30 Club.
The Hill’s Third Annual Political Book Fair takes place at Trover Shop, 221 Pennsylvania Ave. SE from 5:30-7:30 p.m. this evening. In attendance will be those including Former Rep. Bob Barr (R-Ga.), Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), Eleanor Clift, Stephen Flynn, Sen. Bob Graham (D-Fla.), Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.), John B. Judis, Ronald Kessler, Walter Mears, John J. Miller, Bill Press, Cokie Roberts and Ron Suskind.
Nothing makes us happier than the words wine+tasting+free. The Wine Guys, Bob and Fred Luskin, proprietors of Bell Wine Shoppe on M Street, sample eight different Barberas tonight at Borders on K Street. 6:30 p.m.
Every Wednesday is Sinatra night at Felix Lounge on 18th Street in Adams Morgan. And if you get there before 8 p.m., martinis are only $4 a pop!
Feel like an evening in? Pick up the new Q & Not U CD and spend a couple of nights listening to it before you see them at the Black Cat this Friday.
