>> Tonight is the annual 17th Street High Heel Race. The classic D.C. drag event kicks off officially at 9 p.m., but you’ll want to take your position on 17th St. NW between Church and R well before that (we’d recommend 7 at the latest). If you’re looking to make a queer night of it, don’t forget about the Hug-In planned at the U Street Rite Aid at 7 p.m., and the pre-Hug-In Happy Hour at Nellie’s at 6.
>> The Go! Team are at the 9:30 Club tonight for a 10 p.m. show with DJ Will Eastman. Tickets are still available for $15 at the door. Check out our full preview here.
>> It’s easy enough to come up with a good reason to go to Galaxy Hut for a few beers, but tonight it couldn’t be simpler: the bar is hosting a benefit for victims of the recent Adams Morgan apartment building fire with Sons of Guns and The Aquarium playing. $5 suggested donation.
>> Prolific maniac singer-songwriter Ryan Adams plays tonight at DAR Constitution Hall. We would never say anything bad about Ryan Adams’ music, ever, because we wouldn’t want him to start rapping about us. Or would we? You peaked at Heartbreaker, dude. Look who’s got a web site now! $34, 8 p.m.
