Some upcoming local events we’ll be checking out:
Tomorrow (Mar. 9) is Dining Out for Life in the D.C area. Participating restaurants will donate between 25 and 100% of the day’s sales to Food & Friends. These events occur in several cities throughout the year, benefiting various AIDS service organizations. Charitable eating: it’s a good thing. (Previously: Dining Out for Life in 2004 and 2005.)
Saturday (Mar. 11) Rob Corddry is coming to D.C. to give a behind-the-scenes look at The Daily Show; his talk is part of 6th in the City, an event series sponsored by the synagogue at Sixth and I. (Wow, who knew my first trip to a synagogue would be so comedic?)
The following weekend (Mar. 18-19) at Lisner the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington performs a concert called “Showboys,” featuring (what else with that title?) showtunes. We’ve attended a number of their concerts over the past couple of years and always have a good time.
