it's the weekend guide!

tfgif!

it has been a fun week- so far-with the mlk holiday on monday and the event at the cosmos club on tuesday.

plus: the weather was decent. tonight, the party continues with the thievery corporation at the 9:30 club, night #3. its sold out as is tomorrow night; but the just-added sunday night show may still have tickets. thievery corporation at the 9:30 club is a must-see for music lovers. 

elvis is in the building at the national portrait gallery saturday 11:30-5 with an exhibition, tribute concert and screening of (my favorite) elvis flick, viva las vegas. ann-margaret rocks!

if you feel cheeky later, head to the palace of wonders at 10:00 for the battle of the burlesque stars.

what? 

happy birthday elvis!

when i was kid back in cali, i spent summers in the sierra-nevada foothills with my grandma and great-grandma. i loved being in the country, collecting frogs or playing cowgirl or go-go dancer. my great aunt nyla was a huge elvis fan and we watched each and every one of his movies together: it was so great! so here i sit this morning-elvis' birthday- drinking coffee and watching 'spinout', trying to figure out if i have a cropped striped shirt with fringe to pair with my pink skinny jeans that would be appropriate for a snowy day and a meeting with the civil engineer...
