Roundup: Stuff to Do This Week
Hey party people -
I don't know about you, but I've often wished for a service that aggregated the "weekly picks" from various local media outlets: DCist, City Paper, Washington Post, Washingtonian...plus a few lesser-known sources, for good measure. That way, I could review all the lists in one place, and decide what sounded best.
Well, without further ado - I hereby present such a roundup. Please let me know if it's helpful - if so, I'll make this a weekly feature.
The Roundup (+updated Wed. 8/27):
- +Calling all wonks! Convention-Watching Parties Around Town from washingtonian.com
- Free and Easy Events from washingtonpost.com
- Weekly Music Agenda from DCist
- This Week in Hip-Hop from DCist
- +This Week in Jazz from DCist
- Weekly Nightlife Picks from washingtonian.com
- +Nightlife Agenda from washingtonpost.com
- City Lights: This Week's Best from Washington City Paper (will update Wednesday)
My personal faves, from across all lists:
- Today: Hip-hop artist Janelle Monae at Iota (details)
- Wednesday: How to avoid the rat race, at Olsson's (details)
- Thursday: Pop culture chat at Bourbon (details)
- Friday: It's alive! Living sculpture, at Project 4 (details)
- *Saturday: Improvapalooza! at the new Source Theater(details)
- Sunday: Prince vs Madonna vs Michael Jackon, with DJ Dredd, at Black Cat (details)
Let me know what you think of this roundup. What are other go-to sources for weekly picks?

Awesome, thank you! I like this list. I also like the events calendar over at http://www.brightestyoungthings.com/
Thanks for the link! I wish there was a way to blend all the different events calendars in town - seems so redundant that City Paper, WaPo, Washingtonian, these guys, upcoming, all have different calendars...wish I could at least pull them into one view. A tech challenge for an enterprising and handsome programmer, perhaps? ;)
P.S. Another cool event this week: my friend's swing band, The Joker's Wild, is playing at the Posh supper club in Penn Quarter on Wed. night.
See poshdc.com for details!
Wow. I'd like to check out the even tonight at Olsson's, but unfortunately, I'll be chasing cheese, running through mazes, etc, etc. Guess I'll just buy her book. Definitely doing improvapolooza, though!
