On the calendar for the rest of the week:
* The Nats play their final home games of the 2011 season against the Braves this weekend, and the team is promoting it as a
FAN-tastic FAN-ale. There will be fireworks after Friday night's game (and perhaps during the game, since Strasburg is scheduled to be on the mound). Saturday and Sunday, both afternoon games, have limited $2 tickets available along with food and drink specials and giveaways.
Details here.
* And on Saturday the 24th the Yards Park is hosting
Blocktoberfest, with multiple stages, more than 10 acts, food, and of course beer. There were complaints from residents
about noise levels during a 10-hour event at the park on Sunday the 18th; one reply from the BID to a resident in the aftermath says that they "have learned a valuable lesson about events in the Park and the noise level," and that they are evaluating the types of events that are appropriate rental use for the park.
What will I be doing for the next few days? Praying that my beloved Google Nexus One phone comes back to life after an overnight seltzer soaking (thanks,
cat). It's in a Ziploc bag full of rice drying out as we speak....
