We’re a little short-staffed today, so if you’ve got any picks to add for this weekend, please leave them in the comments.
FRIDAY
>> This weekend the Uptown Theater is playing the final cut of everybody’s favorite movie about replicants running amock, and young Darryl Hannah being super sci-fi hot, Blade Runner.
>> If an apocalyptic future isn’t exactly what you’re in the mood for, try on Seattle’s dream folk rockers, Band of Horses, for size instead. They’re playing the 9:30 Club with The Drones. You can see how we felt about them last year and revisit DCist Graham’s very first review on our site here. $20.
>> LiveNation has reduced a number of tickets for Morrissey’s show tonight at D.A.R. Constitution Hall. If you want to go see The Last of the Famous International Playboys, all it will cost you is a mere $19. Plus Ticketmaster fees. Obvs.
SATURDAY
>> Tickets are still available for the Wizards home opener against the Orlando Magic. Brenda Haywood should have his hands full with the Magic’s star center Dwight Howard in the post, while the Wizards big three of Gilbert Arenas, Caron Butler, and Antawn Jamison try to outscore one of this offseason’s splashiest free agent signings, SF Rashard Lewis. Agent Zero already has a buzzer beater to his name this season. We bet that it will be the first of many. 7:00 p.m., Verizon Center.
>> Politically-charged power-poppy Portlanders The Thermals bring their angry and catchy screeds to the Black Cat, along with openers Reporter and History. $13, 9 p.m.
SUNDAY
>> Don’t miss our preview of The Kathy Harty Gray Dance Theater’s “Women in Virginia and Other Favorites.” DCist Megan said, “While many of the events are truly not of our time – the settlement of Jamestown and the American Civil War, for example – the end of the program brings the audience closer to the present with the music of Patsy Cline and Ella Fitzgerald, both Virginia natives.” 1 p.m.
Andrew Wiseman, Matt Bourque and Kyle Gustafson contributed to this weekend’s picks.
