Tonight, Friday, September 4:Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is helping us bid adieu to watching movies outside during the summer. The late John Hughes directed this tale of some rich kids in Chicago or somewhere, and how they have sex with Sarah Jessica Parker, in space. It’s the final film being screened as part of Rosslyn’s I Love the ’80s Film Festival. Enjoy a final evening under the stars, but take heart in knowing that 1) 1980s film festivals are overrated anyway and 2) DC has plenty of great indoor spots where you can catch a free movie.

Tonight Friday, June 24: To mourn the passing of the King of Pop, you can try to snag tickets to Who’s Bad the “World’s No. 1 Michael Jackson cover band” at the 9:30 Club tonight (a concert that was coincidentally scheduled prior to his death). Unfortunately, no Charlie’s Angles marathon was randomly scheduled for this weekend, so if you want to mourn Farrah Fawcett’s passing — lest we forget that TWO celebrities died yesterday, just like when Princess Di and Mother Teresa died on the same day — you can transport yourself back to the ’80s and head to Rosslyn for a screening of Footloose at the “I love the ’80s” Film Festival.
