MOVIE: Tonight’s the first full night of SILVERDOCS programming. Check back in this afternoon for DCist’s ongoing coverage and reviews, look over the schedule, and don’t be intimidated if a film you think you want to see is already sold-out: historically, getting in a stand-by line between 45 minutes to 1 hour before a screening results in being able to score a ticket roughly 80 percent of the time.

READING: At 6:30 p.m., the National Press Club presents WaPo journalist David Ignatius reading from his new thriller, The Increment. Free, but make sure to RSVP at opus@press.org or 202-662-7523.

MUSIC: Plenty of tickets still available to see John Vanderslice at Black Cat tonight. We last interviewed him back in 2006. The Tallest Man on Earth opens. $14, 8 p.m.

MUSIC: Dublin native Laura Izibor has been getting a lot of positive press lately as the next R&B sensation due to her single, “From My Heart to Yours”. At 6 p.m., she’ll be at the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage for free and at The Scene at 9 p.m. (doors at 7 p.m.) for $10 in advance.
