CapitalWeather says the weekend’s looking to shape up to be a bit better than the gloominess of today — not that it matters, because all we’re going to see all weekend is the inside of Tysons Corner’s shopping malls.
FRIDAY:
>> Can you believe Better Than Ezra sold out the 9:30 Club tonight? What is this, 1996? Anyway, if you need a musical hit, make your way over to the George Mason Center for the Arts, where the excellent Boys Choir of Harlem will be performing. 8 p.m., $22-46.
SATURDAY:
>> It’s been one year since the opening of the Udvar-Hazy Center out in Dulles, a satellite companion to the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum, and they’re looking to celebrate. From 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m., they’ll be doling out free cake and prizes like IMAX tickets. Click here for details.
>> All the presidential election furor in Ukraine piqued your interest in the country? Then check out Ukrainian pianist Konstantin Lifschitz at the Kennedy Center’s Terrace Theater. 2 p.m. $31.
>> Things to Do D.C. throws an 80s Semi Formal Gala at the Galleria at Lafayette Centre. Lots of 80s trivia, memorabilia and music. 10 p.m.-3 a.m. $12.
SUNDAY:
>> Le Tigre, who play intellectual and feminist punk and are led by former Bikini Kill frontwoman Kathleen Hanna, play the 9:30 Club this evening.
>> The National Symphony Orchestra Pops performs its last “Happy Holidays” concert today at the Kennedy Center. 7 p.m., $20-80.
