Police Blotter

The shortlist of things to see:

• "Antithesis"—Get your ass over to the Corc tonight for the second installment of the WPA\C's video art revue. And get there early. The previous showing saw the theater crowded to capacity, and that time the vid kids were competing with a Hirshhorn event for attendance. Djakarta curated tonight's show of artists Holly Bass, Diane Dwyer, Lisa Erdman, Chris McDaniel, Joe Reinsel, Rachele Riley, Mike Shaffer, and Brian Twilley. (Tonight, April 26, 7–9 p.m., at the Corcoran)

• A Bright Room Called Day—You're going to have to tell me how video night goes, because tonight I'm (finally) seeing this play by Tony Kushner, directed by Rahaleh Nassri and staged at the Rorschach Theatre. I've heard a number of glowing testimonials from friends, but I'll have to tell you more tomorrow (haven't read this one or seen it before). (Through May 21)

• Go Mavs!—I'm also missing Game 2 of the Dallas/Memphis series, but I'm not too worried about it. Sure, I'm rooting for the 'Zards, and the District/Cleveland series is bound to make for better games, but Dallas is my squad. I'm thinking about making some bumper-stickers: "My Boss Is a German Power Forward." (Tonight, 8 p.m., on TNT)

• Chicago—That's where my weekend's taking me. I'm going to see the NOVA Art Fair and maybe Art Chicago—if I can find it, after the last-minute change of venue (thanks for the tip, Dan!). But I'm especially excited to visit my oldest blog friend Catherine and pick up some much-desired but hardly deserved R&R with the first couple of DC blogging. If you have any exceptional tips for things I ought to see in Chicagoland, I'll try to not drink a margarita long enough to make it over. (Through Sunday)
