Longer term
- Performance - Cirque Du Soleil: QUIDAM - Washington, DC - Wednesday to Sunday
- “Quidam: a nameless passer-by, a solitary figure lingering on a street corner, a person rushing past and swallowed by the crowd.” sounds a bit like the guy above. Cirque du Soleil’s official YouTube channel has a playlist devoted to Quidam. Check it out this weekend at the Verizon Center.
- Convention - Anime USA - Arlington, VA - Friday through Sunday
- I’m already psyching up for Anime USA. I helped moderate their larp a few years ago and haven’t had the chance to go back since. I’m headed that way this weekend, so grab your best cosplay and find me with my top hat and camera! (I’ll try to tuck a DC Geeks logo into the hat band).
- Convention - Minecon - Las Vegas, NV - Friday through Saturday
- Totally sold out. I’m tempted to snag some Minecraft merch to compensate... or I’ll just wander around Anime USA in a green shirt hissing at passersby.

Today
- Steampunk - Pith Helmet Provisions Studio Open house - Lovettsville, VA - Noon
- As always, I’ve got at least one event that slipped the radar. No time for apologies! Grab your goggles, because this one is worth rushing for. There’s a steampunk studio open house in Lovettsville. What are you waiting for? To the airship!! (The address is on this page, studio five).
- Gaming - International Settlers of Catan Day - Everywhere - All day
- I think I’m the only person I know who doesn’t own a copy of Settlers of Catan, except for maybe my mom. It’s awesome. It’s one of THE boardgames. By the way, there’s still a few days to throw money at the beautiful, wooden, laser-cut Settlers of Catan board Kickstarter page. He’s already 500% funded by people desperate for him to transmute money into additional copies of this game.
- Music - Owl City - Washington, DC - 5:30 PM
- Remember that song that came out about getting 1/10 of a hug from lightning bugs? The one that made us all nostalgic for the Postal Service, but we figured “Damn it, at least Owl City is better than listening to ‘Such Great Heights’ again.” Well, the kid’s performing at the 9:30 club this week. Upbeat, cute, sweet: definitely seems like it’ll be a fun show.
- Gaming - Area 42 Open Gaming - Dulles, VA - 7:00 PM
- There’s a $2.00 cost for the meet-up, but Area 42’s giving it back to you in store credit. In stock items are going to be on sale for 10% off (members get 30% off). I honestly think Good Guy Greg might be running this place. They have an online store if you want to browse before the event.

Saturday
- Comics - Shoff Promotions Comic Book Show - Tyson’s Corner, VA - 10:00 AM
- Tyson’s Corner has a comic convention! Admission is $3, and includes both the baseball/sports card show as well as the comic book show. The event page is here (Is that a gif of Spidey trying to reach a Giants’ helmet?).
- Gaming - Barcraft - Washington, DC - 11:00 AM
- Watch people play Starcraft 2 on every screen in the house complete with audio. The promise of “half-price burgers, $5 SC2 drinks, $3 and $4 beer specials, and half-priced wings” make this a great event for all Starcraft enthusiasts.
An exciting week! Get to it! Other weekly reoccurring events are listed on our website (such as Rocky, CCG tournaments, crazy themed happy hours). For more information, check out the calendars at DC Geeks.
