MOVIE: SILVERDOCS, night 2. We’re particularly intrigued by My Life Inside (7:30 p.m.), a story about one woman’s experiences with bigotry within the legal system in Texas, and the different sides of our country’s culture that it reveals. We’re willing to bet, however, that the evening’s big draw will be Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (9:30 p.m.), “a fitting testament to the controlled chaos of its larger-than-life subject.” Check out our guide to SILVERDOCS for some tips on how to get into the movies you want to see.
MUSIC: Approximately 3,082 performers (give or take) will storm the Black Cat tonight, as part of the F Yeah 08 tour. Come early (doors are at 7) and be ready to dance, laugh and experience some seriously good people watching. Featuring Dan Deacon, Matt & Kim, Team Robespierre and many more. $13
MUSIC: Atlanta’s Anthony David made a name for himself on the indie soul scene by writing songs for friend and Grammy winner, India Arie. Next week he’ll release his third album, Acey Duecy. His two shows tonight will be part of Bohemian Caverns‘ “Rhythm & Soul” series. $15, 8 p.m. & 10 p.m.
READING: Johan Bruyneel, director of the U.S. Postal Service bicycling team, makes an appearance at Politics and Prose to talk about his book, We Might as Well Win: On the Road to Success with the Mastermind Behind a Record-Setting Eight Tour de France Victories. 7 p.m.
MUSIC: After a journey around the world and back, These United States have come home to D.C. They’ll be reminding us why we love them so much from the Rock and Roll Hotel’s stage, along with Centro-matic and The M’s. $10 in advance, $12 at the door. 8 p.m.
