Get To It

(via Refinery 29.)

Wednesday, snuggle up with some coconut milk hot chocolate (vegan vegan vegan!) and Lost. We'll be watching and crying along with you. (Serious bonus points if you garnish the cocoa with sliced bananas instead of that crazy meringue.)

Thursday, the Points play the Black Cat.

DCist Exposed opens at Flashpoint on Friday.

(I don't even know what to say about Saturday because we found a lot to do on this fine day. If you manage to squeeze this all in, do let us know, you animal!) Morgan and her unstoppable army of awesomeness-fiends are at it again! Celebrate the release of the third issue of Pandahead Magazine at Comet Ping Pong. Art Whino hosts the opening for John Malloy's "One Out of A Hundred." "Aspect:Ratio" closes at Irvine Contemporary. (We told you about this last month - have you been?) The National Gallery of Art hosts "American Independents: The Black Maria," a selection of films from the world-renowned experimental/short film festival named for Thomas Edison's film studio.

We have a bottom-heavy Get To It this week, my pretties. In other words, spend Monday through Wednesday catching up your beauty sleep and making cheddar chipotle scones. You heard me!

Thursday, you have multiple option for throwing your second date a curveball: Big Gold Belt waxes electronic at the Black Cat with (The Sounds of) Kaleidescope and The Tennis System. Or you could not miss SAAM's final screening of Art in the Twenty-First Century - this week's series features Listopad beloveds Kara Walker and Kiki Smith.

Friday through Sunday, the National Geographic All Roads Film Festival hosts "Global Glimpses," a screening of the five films nominated for the 2008 Foreign Language Oscar. Some of the screenings are buffered by receptions (food!) and if you enter the code "GLOBAL" when ordering tickets on NG's website, you can see all five films for twenty-five bucks. Bam! What, that's not enough for you? Fine! The National Gallery of Art hosts Les Lutins du Court-Métrage: New Shorts from France on Friday. Now get out of my face!



Just kidding. Stay. Please? We have saved the best for last. Future Times is sticking it to the man by throwing a big, orgiastic dance party on Saturday that promises to be ten times more wacky, synthy, and sleazy than the last. Ron Morelli comes from NYC to scare small children and make your hair stand on end and newly minted Protect U holds your hand as you move forward and backward in time. Hallmark cards need not apply!

Get To It

Welcome back, lovelies. Hope everyone is stuffed and happy!


A Farewell to Arms (Maggie Michael)

I'm sure you already have something planned for Wednesday. All we ask is that you wear something hella glam.

Thursday is the final day to peep, contribute to, and generally enjoy the presence of the Festivus Pole in Adams Morgan.

If you're up for more partying on Friday, check out the Soulfuck at the Black Cat or Disco City at Rock and Roll Hotel.

Saturday is the last day of Maggie Michael's "All At Once" at G Fine Art. Art is good for hangovers; Maggie Michael is just plain good.

Sunday is your last chance to catch "Odysseys and Photographs—Masters From the National Geographic Archives" at the National Geographic Museum at Explorers Hall.

Tuesday, visit the National Building Museum to hear New Yorker architecture critic Paul Goldberger talk about Learning from Las Vegas. This book sounds insane and was written by geniuses.

A recently-returned-from-tour Edie Sedgwick plays the Black Cat on Wednesday with Gestures and Big Gold Belt.

We always post about Moneytown because we love how DJ Nitekrawler always brings an out-of-town guest to his monthly party. This Friday, look forward to the Richmond-basedScorpio Brothers.

There is a midnight screening of Ghostbusters at the E Street Landmark Cinema on Saturday. Need I elaborate?

No Age. (From WaterCoolerGossip.)

Wednesday, expect levels of frenzy rivaling the scene on U Street this past Tuesday when Diplo spins and No Age rails at the Black Cat. (Bonus: Diplo will be playing records at Commonwealth before the show! Ooo-wee!

Thursday, wipe that smirk off your face before you arrive at the party for Stop Smiling's DC Issue at Civilian Art Projects. DJs Name Names and Nitekrawler will be deckbound.

You should probably just bring a sleeping bag on Thursday because Quintron and Miss Pussycat will be wrecking the house at Civilian on Friday.

FotoWeek DC begins on Saturday. Check out their kick-off event: a group show of six Ukrainian-American photographers hosted by the Ukrainian Embassy. Note: almost all of the FotoWeek events are free! Two thumbs up! (Also free: Breakin' Glass at Wonderland Ballroom.)
