What to Expect Around Town This Weekend (June 4-5)

Well, that was fast. The weekend is here, again.

What’s on your to-do list?  Whatever it is, the weather is iffy. The National Weather Service predicts a weekend mix of sun and storms.

Here’s what else you should expect this weekend:

• Kalorama Park will reopen on Saturday with live music, workout classes and crafts for kids.
• The “Mother of All Yard Sales” hits Adams Morgan Saturday.
• Performers will share their most awkward and imitate sex stories in front of a live audience at the Black Cat Saturday night.
• Caped crusaders, local artists, and a smattering of celebrities will converge on the Walter E. Washington convention center for Awesome Con.
• Metro will suck for a long time starting this weekend.

And according to Jessica Oros, an editor at East City Art (more info about them on Facebook, Twitter or through the publication’s newsletter), interesting places to stop for D.C.-area art this weekend include:

• Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum (1901 Fort Place SE.)
  11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday
  Families are invited for a docent led tour of “Twelve Years that Shook and Shaped Washington: 1963-1975.“
• Arts/Harmony Hall Regional Center (10701 Livingston Road, Fort Washington, Md.)
  3 to 5 p.m. Saturday
  Dale O’ve Jackson presents a series of paintings and sculptures which express his African heritage.
