HARDCORE
A Crash Course in DC Punk at a Library
Hanging out in a library: not very punk. Hanging out in a library with an exhibit devoted to the DC hardcore
scene in the ’70s and ’80s: slightly more punk. You can breeze through fliers, posters and photos of
bands like Fugazi and Minor Threat. The Man has no chance in here.

COSMO
Sci-Fi Burlesque and Vodka
This just in: today is the 51st anniversary of Yuri Gagarin’s first human spaceflight. If you forgot to
take the day off, no worries. Just head to Artisphere on Saturday for sci-fi-themed burlesque, live music,
retro-futuristic art installations... and plenty of vodka. It’s what Yuri would have wanted.

GETTING YOUR GOAT
A Treasure Trove of Summer Shirts
The local designer behind Wolf vs Goat is at it again, this time with a new website stocked with overdyed
oxfords and tattersalls and short-sleeve “picnic” shirts. For your next boating trip, they’re rolling
out a “sno-cone” shirt in pink and blue. Works well with ice cream, too.
