Lets briskly put some iconic rock we all grew up on, blast it way higher than the doctor recommended and saunter into a nostalgia tinged weekend ahead. Or not.
Fingers crossed it does not rain.
And fingers crossed I don’t pass out before it all even begins.
THURSDAY
There are competing “After hours” parties @ Freer&Sackler (Asia after dark) and Phillips Collection (which actually features a little Duke Ellington Festival preview) so pick as needed.
Shows wise: all eyes on Love is All and Ra Ra Rasputin combo @ The Cat
+people get eliminated in Vegas for “So you think you can dance” and I heard there’s a basketball game on or something?
FRIDAY

SATURDAY
POOL PARTY. BANDS. INFLATABLES. What’s up?
After the pool party we are hosting an official bloc party afterparty (how many times can you say party in one sentence?) with the nice kids over @ Sweetgreen, with Gavin DJing, free food, free drinks, free stuff.
For those who prefer to go their own way:
SCOOTERGATE!!!!!
