Weather:  John Snow nailed it – “Winter is coming.” Saturday afternoon will be your best bet for any outdoor activities, with temperatures floating around the low 60’s. Once Sunday swings around, expect brisk winds and possibly even a flurry or two.

Awesome events you can attend this weekend: Become an armchair detective and join the fun at the second-longest running production in America, Shear Madness! at the Kennedy Center; Or catch country rock soulstress Elle King at the 9:30 Club tonight; Trust us: you don’t want to miss My Morning Jacket’s Jim James at the Warner Theatre tomorrow night; If punk rock is more your thing, the Black Cat has you covered with back-to-back punk rock docs on Saturday night; And as temperatures drop on Sunday, you can get into the seasonal spirit at the Washington Harbour ice skating rink, or the National Gallery’s, or even at the Canal Park rink – all are now open to the public.

FamousDC and Fireside21 asked Capitol Hill to #GetFiredUp earlier this week for a special open house welcoming the newest Members of Congress to our nation’s capital.

#LOCAL

DC is full of secrets; Washingtonians are a hardcore bunch; We know you’re ready for a drink, and District Distillery is too; You’ve got five days to give back and get your (free) drink on at Marvin; Start getting into the holiday spirit by visiting these DC pop-up markets; Fireballs (not the sort we’ll drink later tonight), derailments and now collision risks. What’s next, Metro?; King James shares his riches with the National Museum of African American History; DC’s food truck scene is on fire…literally; The Foxfire diamond is a girl’s best friend…and you can check it out it at the National Museum of Natural History; We hear the pigskin is excellent. 

#NATIONAL

“Get in my belly!”; Amp up your inner-creativity; We know you’re all secretly pre-ordering tickets; Look! We found the most awkward video(s), ever; In times like these, it’s probably best to keep a sense of humor about things; Oh, the weather outside is (about to be) frightful; Holiday shopping is in the palm of your hand; We’re grateful for these police officers handing out turkeys instead of tickets.

And in keeping with the birthday girl’s globetrotting tendencies (Suzanne has traveled to more than 40 nations already!), the party boasts a fun theme for all to enjoy – “Where in the world is Carmen San Diego?”
