>> If you’ve ever thought about having a wedding of any kind, we’d recommend stopping by Olsson’s Courthouse store tonight to listen to The New Yorker’s Rebecca Mead, whose most recent work explores the sinister workings of the $160 billion wedding industry and has been the talk of the internets of late. Tomorrow we’ll dig up information on the best ways to elope for anyone who was in attendance. Mead reads from One Perfect Day: The Selling of the American Wedding at 7 p.m. at Olsson’s Arlington/Courthouse, 2111 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA, (703)525-4227
>> Bless the folks who program the Mary Pickford Theater at the Library of Congress. Where else would you be able to catch a free screening of Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s excellent 1990 film Delicatessen, a deliciously disturbing post-apocalyptic black comedy about the landlord of an apartment building who creates cannibalistic meals for his oddball tenants. Call (202) 707-5677 by 4 p.m. to reserve your free seat.
>> Why not scoop up some cheap seats to tonight’s Nationals vs. Atlanta Braves game? Decent $5 tickets are still available. Game starts at 7 p.m.
>> Looks like there’s actually a few tickets on Craigslist for Arctic Monkeys at 9:30 Club if you’re still trying to go. With Be Your Own Pet, doors at 7:30 p.m., Arctic Monkeys play at 10 p.m.
