What to do this Weekend...

If you're feeling funky tonite slide on over to the 9:30 Club to see George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic. You may or may not remember their song "Atomic Dog" that was featured in a classic Doug episode. You either remember it, or you don't. If I could have found a Youtube link, I would have posted it. Tickets are $40.

Another relic from childhood, 'The Lego' is being celebrated in McLean, VA. The task: build an 8 foot-tall Yoda out of Legos. You can do this from 10 a.m.-6 p.m.  on Saturday, Feb. 28 and from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday, March 1. Check out this website: http://www.shoptysons.com/events.asp?id=9472&month=2&day=28&year=2009

Did I mention it was free? Getting to Tyson's Corner may be the tricky part, but granted -- it was be well worth the trek.

Kris Kristofferson is going to be at the Historic Sixth and I Synagogue. This is not a shameless plug, for the Synagogue since I am recently employed by them. It's Kris Kristofferson. Come on, he was the original maverick. Tickets are $49.50.

Check out Sixth and I's website for more details:

If you feel like staying close to the few blocks of Foggy Bottom and Georgetown, well don't. There is far too much coolness to be had and done in this city.
