There are many things to do this weekend in DC to celebrate this year’s Chanukah (the ancient Hebrew celebration of Christmas), which begins on Monday. For example: you can play limbo with some people from Barbados in their Embassy. And then there’s Oasis, and some comic book competition thing, and many other things too.
Friday
- The vaguely 80s, vaguely world-y CSS (or Cansei de Ser Sexy, in some R/romance language) is playing the 9:30 Club. $20, 7 PM. [9:30 Club]
- Huge DJ consortium thing at the 9:30 Club tonight, featuring Tittsworth and Nadastrorm. [9:30 Club]
- The Country of Barbados is throwing an enormous beach-themed party tonight because what else are they doing with their Embassy? Literally nothing. There will be rum, limbo, possibly diplomats in bathing suits. [Washington Post]
- Bluesy Tennessee-based Last Train home will be at Iota for a full three days, starting tonight. $13, 9 PM. [Iota]
Saturday
- Enjoy the alt-country stylings of Rhett Miller at the Black Cat. $15, 9 PM. [Black Cat]
- This weekend there’s SuperArtFight, a competition between comic book and graphic artists. It’s in Baltimore (day trip!) and there will be music there too. $10, 8 PM. [SuperArtFight]
- The Brothers Gallagher bring their hubris and, hopefully, stuff from What’s the Story, to the George Mason University Patriot Center. Price vary, 7 PM. [Washington Post]
Sunday
- The Shirks, a local band of the punk persuasion, play Galaxy Hut. 9 PM. [Galaxy Hut]

I am shocked, SHOCKED that you would exclude the Eaglebank Bowl Saturday at 11 a.m. at RFK Stadium form your list of weekend DC excitement. What could be more entertaining than sitting in 30-degree, windy, ancient RFK (aka Dead Brother) to watch the fifth-best team in the ACC battle the best military academy team in the ENTIRE COUNTRY? For only $45? HENNGH?
CSS at the 9:30 is on Saturday, not Friday. Superafim!
you missed latke party at my house
Oh, thanks. Your ‘Festival of Lite’ has caused Adam Sandler’s “Hanukkah Song” to reverb in my head. I’d rather have “Ode to My Car”.
Put on your yarmulke,
It’s time for Hanukkah…
