TOP 5 FOR MONDAY, JUNE 4

3. DC Music Salon: Sonny Stitt At Watha T. Daniel-Shaw Library
Jazz saxophonist Sonny Stitt passed away in D.C. 30 years ago. His influence can still be heard today. A peer of Billy Eckstine, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Oscar Peterson, Sonny Rollins, Art Blakey, Thelonious Monk and more, Stitt is an overlooked figure.

5. "Sex and the City" At 1851 S. Bell St.
We haven't lost our minds, we just think tonight's weather is too perfect to pass up an outdoor movie. The Crystal Screen movie series begins their summer of romantic comedies. We're not sure how this film is romantic and we know it's not a comedy, yet it somehow still applies. View our summer outdoor movie picks. Sundown, all ages, no cover

Story League at Arts Club of Washington
Story League events are usually held at Busboys and Poets, ticketed and tend to sell out. This special event is at a different venue, free and will features a "Best Of" collection of past performers. An excellent way to introduce yourself to D.C.'s story telling scene.

This is fantastic for a many reasons. Or awful. We're not sure but it sounds informative, fun and gives us an excuse to check out Artomatic.
Thursday, June 7
Greg Proops at DC Improv
This "Smartest Man In The World" taping will be a lesson for comics and podcasters alike. Proops fills an hour plus of original material each week. He's the Satchel Paige of comedy podcasts.

Friday, June 8

A large variety of home made cuisine from S.H. Fernando Jr., author of "Rice & Curry: Sri Lankan Home Cooking." A very delicious thing one can do this Friday.
