October Events

As next weekend will be the beginning of October, here's some of what's going on around town next month:

Dead Can Dance at the Strathmore on October 10 - this will be my first time seeing Dead Can Dance and my first time at the Strathmore in Bethesda, so I'm excited on multiple counts

Bacon Dinner at David Greggory on October 17 - unfortunately (or fortunately for my cholesterol levels), I'll be in Philadephia at the U2 concert. Bacon dinner is amazing. Yes, there is bacon in the dessert. Matching wines accompany each course. Yes, it's entirely too much food. You get take-home bacon at the end of the dinner. All this for $75. Why haven't you reserved your table yet?

Mark Twain Prize at the Kennedy Center on October 23 - Steve Martin will be receiving the Mark Twain prize this year, so I imagine there will be any number of very funny guests paying tribute. Keep checking back at the Kennedy Center web site for tickets. I missed the first go-round and managed to snag 2 seats that came available one evening.

Youssou N'Dour at the Strathmore on October 30 - you only think you don't know who he is. He's most commonly known for singing In Your Eyes with Peter Gabriel, but he's talented on his own and worth a listen.

October movies include the new Wallace & Grommit, In Her Shoes, Dreamer, Prime, and Elizabethtown.

And, of course, Halloween is on the 31st.
