IT'S THE WEEKEND and that means it's time to find some fun things to do in DC. I went to the Communications Department and asked some students for their top options for this weekend. In addition to the usual plans (head to Georgetown, catch a movie, Sunday morning at a local cafe, etc.) some other plans are emerging. A sample:- Eric Clapton will be performing at Verizon Center. A bit pricey, but worth it if you love Clapton. Call 202.397.7328 for ticket info.
- Hockey is back and the Washington Capitals have their home opener on Saturday night.
- The Duke Ellington Jazz Festival runs through October 8. Lots of free concerts and some at the Lincoln Theatre that you have to pay for.
- Every one's favorite street festival, the Taste of Bethesda runs all weekend. Bethesda is known for some of best restaurants in the DC area and this festival gives you a chance to sample all the food -- at really cheap prices.
- In the mood for autumn? Try picking pumpkins and sampling great apple pie and cider at Butler's Orchard -- just 20 minutes from campus.
This is, of course, just a small sample of choices you have for things to do this weekend. For much more info, check out the Washington Post Weekend section.
