Upcoming events -- art, dance, and birthday

[neotoma]

On Saturday, the Phillips Collection is opening a special exhibit on Toulouse-Lautrec that will run through the end of April. I'd like to get a group together to go see it -- it's a special exhibit, so it will cost $12 each -- please let me know if you're interested and when you'd be available. It will probably be a weekend outing, as the museum is closed Mondays.

wolfshark is having a stitch'n'bitch on Saturday, Feb 4th -- more details at her post.

The Carpe Diem! Silver Spring Contradance will be next week Thursday, Feb 9th; $10 to dance, first-timers free. I do suggest you bring your own water bottle, since it's easy to overheat in a room full of dancers.

The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater will be giving a workshop focused on their iconic work, Revelations, at Millennium Stage on Saturday, Feb 11th. Squee! This is a free event, so well worth heading over to the Kennedy Center for it!

Since my birthday is the 9th, I'd like to go out to celebrate either that Friday evening, or sometime that weekend. I'm thinking Lavagna, Oyamel, or Belga Cafe, but if you know a spectacular place that you'd think I'd like, feel free to mention it!

I cannot do anything fun in the next few weeks, alas, as I am in the midst of trying to move /o\

But if a Toulouse-Lautrec outing happens after February is over, I'd love to join if I can!

It sounds like March is going to be it for the Toulouse-Lautrec exhibit.

Meanwhile, happy birthday!

Thanks!

I think I'm skipping the contradance tonight because my shoulder has been sore for the last two days -- too much knitting, too much novel weight exercises, both? -- so I'm just going to try to sleep it off.

There's always next month...

I'm interested in the Toulouse Lautrec, and should be able to get one other person in for free as I have a reciprocal membership with another museum.

Thanks for the heads up about Alvin Ailey.

ooo, cheap entertainment is always good. It looks like sometime in March for the Toulouse-Lautrec.

If you're interested, we could meet up and go together. I'll probably wear my gym clothes, and wind up looking like a slob...

Works for me.

I'm available all weekend; just let me know when your birthday dinner is!

I would definitely like to go to the Toulouse-Lautrec exhibit, though probably on a later weekend if it's running through April.

I'll email around about the birthday dinner -- right now, Friday or Sunday seems likely.

Next weekend is also when the Lego Batman movie comes out, if you want to combine things.

I am interested in Toulouse-Latrec, but also probably on a later weekend. And I'm definitely in for your birthday dinner--that Friday or any time that weekend is good.

Any cool restaurants you've discovered for the dinner? If not, I'm currently think Lavagna, Oyamel, or Belga.

Have to skip the dance again as that Thursday both my work and the wife's have events on :(

Well, there's always the March 9th contradance.
