DATING: Someone’s bookshelf can tell you a lot about them: romantic, food buff, traveler, lovable nerd. So it makes sense that online dating site HowAboutWe is hosting a book swap and drinks event at Busboys and Poets (2021 14th Street NW) to spark conversation between local singles. 7 p.m. Free.

TALK: Slate magazine presents their Political Gabfest, featuring Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson and David Plotz discussing political topics like the Arizona shootings, the freshmen in Congress and the 2012 presidential race at the Sixth & I Historic Synagogue (600 I Street NW). 7 p.m. Tickets: $12.

MOVIE: Watch Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, Walter Matthau and
James Coburn in the 1963 romantic thriller Charade presented tonight at Chief Ike’s (1725 Columbia Road NW) by You, Me, Them, Everybody. 7:30 p.m. Free.

ART: We had previously included a lecture in this space by Professor Andreas Huyssen at the Hirshhorn — but the lecture is actually taking place tomorrow night! Apologies for any confusion.

MUSIC: DJs Sabo, Munchi and Heartbreak take part in Moombahton Massive 2 at U Street Music Hall (1115A U Street NW). 10 p.m. $5 with RSVP, $10 without.

TV: WTF Wednesdays continue at the Rock and Roll Hotel (1353 H Street NE) with three more episodes of Twin Peaks: “Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer,” “Rest in Pain” and “The One-Armed Man.” There will also be half-price burgers and $3 drinks. Audience members are also encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs, “screen on the green style” (minus the green, of course). Doors open at 7 p.m., the show starts at 7:30 p.m.

>> Black Cat (1811 14th Street NW) is having a TV Party tonight too, featuring Buffy the Vampire Slayer and $10 pitchers of PBR. 8:30 p.m. Free.
