MOVIE: NoMa Summer Screen is showing Taylor Hackford’s uneven but perfectly serviceable biopic about Ray Charles, Ray starring Jamie Foxx, tonight outside the Rhode Island New York Ave. Metro. Film starts at sunset, show up starting at 7 for a DJ and BBQ. Free.
TALK: Sixth and I hosts National Geographic Traveler editor Keith Bellows tonight at 7 p.m. for Sacred Places of a Lifetime. He’ll bring the audience to “places that lift our spirits and open our eyes – landscapes, ruins, temples, shrines, festivals, retreats, and more,” and sign his book Sacred Places of a Lifetime: 500 of the World’s Most Peaceful and Powerful Destinations after the talk. $6, or get 2 free tickets with the purchase of the book at the door.
KARAOKE: Solly’s hosts its twice a month Kostume Karaoke tonight, which is always a good time. Turns out it’s just more fun to drunkenly sing in a bar when you’re wearing a purple wig and a sparkly vest. 8 p.m.
