Coming This Week

If the free lemon filled Krispy Kreme I received for doughnut day wasn't enough to lift my spirits, we are actually going to see sun for the next few days. Finally.

• First Friday Dupont is tonight, although I think the current weather and my general blahness might keep me inside. (You know it's bad if I'm turning down free booze.)
  

• Jazz in the Garden is also tonight, but it isn't much of a garden evening.
  

• Euroasia shorts film festival is more appropriate for the current weather, although shows are sold out and only a handful of at the door tickets will be available.
  

• Artomatic is still kicking, of course, I might hit the Indian Classical Dance show tomorrow night.
  

• The Duke Ellington Jazz Festival has an amazing lineup of artists this year. There is also a jazz n families fun day on Sunday that, despite the guarantee of many little people, sounds interesting.
  

• There is an Armenian Festival Saturday in Alexandria.
  

• There is a Food and Wine Festival at the National Harbor this weekend, but the tickets are $65 a pop. Ouch. That includes some booze tastings, but "dine arounds" are extra.
  

• Eastern Market has concerts Sunday for it's music series.
  

• Jaleo is kicking off a Paella festival with a demonstration and samples at the Dupont Farmers Market on Sunday and a happy hour (with free samples) at the Arlington location on Monday night.
  

• Busboys and Poets will be having a discussion about reparations on Sunday at 4:00
  

• PJ O'Rourke is in town promoting his book Driving Like Crazy, including an appearance at CATO on Tuesday.
  

• Tuesday night concerts include Yanomanem on the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage and Pink Martini at the Wolf Trap

Seriously, anyone who gets bored in DC is crazy.
