"Comedy, Sort of: America, You Sexy Bitch"
with Meghan McCain at Washington DCJCC
An unlikely pairing of a former member of "The State" and "Stella" with the daughter of a former Republican presidential candidate wrote a book about how great America is. It's so great, the funny person, Michael Ian Black, was offered a role in a movie and won't be able to make this event. Hooray America!

THE IMMORTAL World Tour: Cirque du Soleil
at Verizon Center
This is nuts for a lot of reasons but they're mostly good reasons. Cirque de Solel doesn't do anything poorly and everyone alive knows at least a few Michael Jackson tunes. Why it's called 'The IMMORTAL World Tour' is one of the nutty things.

Saturday, July 14
Best Coast
at 9:30 Club
This group's recent Letterman appearance proved the West Coast band has grown into a competent act. No longer hiding behind waves of distortion -- not that that's a bad thing -- they're letting the hooks shine in front.

Sunday, July 15
Birthday Bash
At Dupont Circle FRESHFARM Market
FRESHFARM Markets celebrates 15 years of local produce and more from local farmers and vendors. Bluegrass, balloon twisting, face paintings, raffles and of course, the market, make this Sunday afternoon activity fun and family friendly.

Monday, July 16
"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"
at National Mall
The first Screen on the Green of the summer is a wonderful thing. Two of the coolest guys ever to be on film run around. Awesome.
