>> The Washington Glory open their season tonight against the New England Riptide. The Glory represent the area in the National Pro Fastpitch softball league. The NPF, in its inaugural season, brings some diversity to the area’s sports scene. Considering the stagnant play of the Washington’s current pro teams, we’d have to say that its a welcome addition. The Glory play at GMU’s softball complex on Rapidan River Road, off University Road near the GMU Field House in Fairfax. Gametime’s at 7:05 p.m.
>> It’s a night of experimental rap, indie-infused hip-hop and spoken word at the Rock and Roll Hotel, where Sage Francis and Buck 65 are performing with experimental rapper Alias and spoken word artist Buddy Wakefield. Doors 8 p.m., tickets are $15 in advance, $18 at the door.
