Can you believe it’s December already, DCists? Neither can we. Crap. We should use these weeks before the holidays to buy our friends and family thoughtful, meaningful presents. Hmm. Or, we can go out and do fun stuff!
>> More than 40 authors including Cokie Roberts, William Rehnquist (though we suspect the Chief Justice may sit this one out), Bob Edwards, and John Feinstein will be at the 15th annual Meet the Authors Night & Book Fair at the University Club. 5:30 p.m. Free.
>> Feeling spicy? Check out the Five-Course Regional Curry Wine Dinner at Heritage India in Glover Park this evening, sponsored by TasteDC.com. 7 p.m. $65. Make your reservations here.
>> Pop-punks Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Washington Social Club and Mary Timony play the Black Cat tonight for a Food Not Bombs blanket drive. Leo’s newest album, “Shake the Sheets”, is garnering glowing reviews for his aggressive power pop and politically charged lyrics.
>> [UPDATE: Whoops! We’ve been tipped by a reader that the DJ night at Blue Room hasn’t been happening for a while. We called to confirm, and they’ve currently taken it off the schedule, though they’re thinking about starting it up sometime soon.]If you’re looking for an arena in which to showcase your DJing skills other than Hump Nite at the Galaxy Hut, check out Hi-Fi at the Blue Room in Adams Morgan. Get there at 7:30 p.m., bring your favorite records, and sign up on the list for a 30-minute set. It’s first come, first DJ. 8 p.m.
