Coming This Week

The list of events is surprisingly thin this week. I imagine most of the town will be getting away for memorial day. Not to worry, it is going to be warm and the weather report is getting sunnier by the day. Also, a lot of summer-long events are kicking off this weekend.
  • Jazz in the Garden starts tonight. The National Gallery Sculpture Garden will have jazz concerts every Friday from now until September 11th.
  • Public pools around DC and Maryland open this weekend.
  • It would also be a great weekend to hit the U.S. Botanic Garden where they have a chocolate exhibit.
  • Or perhaps we will finally check out the National Arboretum or one of the parks around DC
  • Sunday morning at 9:00 Mohammed Sawalha, a Palestinian human rights activist whose son is in Israeli prison, speaks at the Busboys and Poets Peace Cafe. (Peace Cafe brings together Jews and Arabs around the issue of Israel/Palestine.)
  • Sunday night is vintage soul, jazz and South American music at Marvin
  • Monday is the annual memorial day parade and preceded by a wall side ceremony
I think we'll manage to find something to do.
