FILM: Put on your Thor horns, grab a copy of Playboy, and know that you won’t get anywhere without singin’ the blues. AFI Silver is playing the 1987 classic Adventures In Babysitting at 9:40 tonight and tomorrow for your late summer enjoyment. AFI, can we request that you bring back that genre’s other greatest cinematic achievement, Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead, sometime soon?

SUFFRAGE: As Michelle Obama reminded us last night, it was this day in 1920 that womens’ right to vote was put into effect with the 19th amendment. We suggest observing the occasion by visiting your favorite female bartender and watching the DNC while you prepare to cast your vote this fall.

MUSIC: They’re named after a happy and oddly magical man of the earth from the Lord of the Rings series, and conveniently, Bombadil provides happy folk music that’s reminiscent of the mountain blues of their Carolina home. They’ll be at The Red and The Black. 9 p.m., $10.

KARAOKE: Sticky Rice on H Street is hosting their regular Tuesday night Karaoke. Warm up your pipes on $2 Tecates, and step up to the mic starting at 10 p.m.
