Discover [Kennedy Center Millennium Stage]

Happy Monday! If there is such a thing.

Exciting weekend for us. Caught up with many old friends in Baltimore, attended a festive holiday party, and won our Nakid league flag football championships, all in the freak 60 degree weather we've been experiencing lately. We had a victory party at our place after, then a roomie dinner date in AdMo to say goodbye to S.

More gift guides coming this week, a book review or two, and some DIY projects to get you in the spirit. For today, I wanted to share a unique date idea that D and I have been meaning to try: a free  performances at the Kennedy Center! Go early (5 to 6pm) to enjoy half-priced beers and a beautiful view of the Potomac from the terrace (you can see our apartment directly across the river, too). At 6pm any day of the week there is a free show on Millennium Stage.

Worried that you can't make the show or missed a good one? No problem: Watch live performances online or browse the archives.

If you're DC local, here is the December lineup. Otherwise, check the theatre and music venues in your own area. It's pretty common for there to be free or reduced-admission shows if you can be flexible and know when to look.
