WEDNESDAY
A wise man once said “everyone” has four things in common: 1) they are all working for the weekend, 2) they want a little romance, 3) they are all goin’ off the deep end, and 4) they all need a second chance. But if you want a piece of our heart, you better know where to start: the American University Bookstore at Butler Pavilion, tonight at 8 p.m., where you’ll see Victoria Redel read and discuss her novel, Loverboy. Come on, baby, let’s go. 4400 Massachusetts Avenue, NW.
THURSDAY
You thought that movie Hostel had gore? Forget it. Tonight, the Woman’s National Democratic Club has got more Gore than ever before. It’s an evening of Gore on Gore, as Tipper Gore interviews Karenna Gore Schiff about the important women of the 20th century from her book Lighting The Way. It’s Gore-tastic! 1526 New Hampshire Avenue, 7 p.m. Contact Smithsonian Resident Associates to secure a seat: 202-252-0012.
