The Rock
Posted by hayden hunter at 7:01 AM 0 comments
Billing itself as 'DC's best sports bar', The Rock is probably telling the truth, but more from lack of competition than excellence. Still, situated directly across from the MCI Center, The Rock's three lively floors and rooftop bar are good places to hang before or after the game. With the arrival of the rival ESPN Zone next door, the Rock has upgraded the key element of any sports bar - the number of televisions, which currently is at 50 regular screens and five jumbos.

Mad Professor
Posted by hayden hunter at 7:00 AM 0 comments
For once the Dub Club lives up to its name. Neil Fraser aka Mad Professor and his Ariwa Sounds have kept British reggae alive over the past decade in the face of absurd prejudice. When not touring with the likes of Lee Perry and Macka B or remixing artists such as Massive Attack, the Professor releases a steady stream of albums from his London base. The Vienna show will feature Nolan Irie and Zakeya on the mikes with DJ Dread R on the turntables. To get you in the mood, the Dub Club regulars will dust off their reggae vinyl.

Twentieth Century Sculpture
Posted by hayden hunter at 7:01 AM 0 comments
While the exhibition clearly focuses on the achievements of the twin fathers of modern statuary - Rodin and Picasso - it does not ignore other greats of the last century such as Max Ernst, Henry Moore, Lucio Fontana and, star of the Tate Modern, Louise Bourgeois. Although there won't be many towering spiders at this Museo del Corso show, almost all the works on display are accompanied by fascinating preparatory sketches and paintings made by the artists themselves.
