The Week In Shows: 7/16/18-7/22/18

A sunny Saturday afternoon seems as good a time as any to plot ones weekly show schedule, I think. Let's take a look at what's happening in the greater DC metro this coming week, shall we? Hot diggity!

Today is Bastille Day, friends, so perhaps you'll be doing something French this weekend: French kissing, perhaps? You never know. Whatever your plans are this weekend, be they Bastille-ed or not, I hope your next two days are full of fun, though I hope you'll take a nap or two because next week is packed! Without further ado, here's a look at some of the shows I happen to recommend for the coming week in the greater DC metro area. Bonus: catch yours truly at any show with an asterisk next to it.

And as an aside, if you've got a show coming up you'd like me to consider including in my weekly calendar, just shoot me an email with "Calendar" somewhere in the subject line. Thanks y'all!
