US Air Guitar DC Championship – Friday (August 7)
You may think that this is some crazy show with grown men pretending to play a fake guitar, well you are completely correct. This show is awesome. They do crazy stunts, rock out with the best and dress like complete idiots. It is basically the best entertainment you can see on a friday night.
Hours: Friday 8:00 PM @ 9:30 club
Spike’d Sundays – Sunday (August 9)
If you didn’t go last week, Former “Top Chef” Spike Mendelsohn hosts this summer-long pool party, with burgers, drinks and swimming. Located at Best Western Capitol Skyline Hotel, 10 I St SW, Washington, DC. Entry is $10 and includes a Spike Burger.
A little birdy told me that if you want to run into the DC cast of the real world, this is the place to go. They show up almost every week.
