Stay up late and enjoy extended Museum hours, gallery tours, and music by DJ Shea Van Horn and live performances by Extreme Animals the Plaza. Most excellent!!

Round House Theatre Bethesda
The smash hit comedy about romantic errors and bad manners
When Suzanna sets up her best friend Max on a blind date with her husband’s co-worker Becky Shaw, she puts into motion a series of cataclysmic events that forever change all of their lives. Like the Victorian upstart Becky Sharp, this modern Becky is unsure, overdressed and socially ambitious. But she’s no shrinking violet, as the silkily cynical Max soon learns.
A Pulitzer Prize finalist and an Off-Broadway hit, Becky Shaw is a savvy, sharp comedy of romantic errors that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats guessing what will happen next.
My first choice is the performance of the Glee club of ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ which was a part of the episode titled Pilot. The main singers were Cory Monteith and Lea Michele. This was an astounding performance which really showcased the talent that the Glee club had. Rachel and Finn showcased their talent with their amazing voices while Mr. Schuester has decided that he is definitely going to stay so that he can see the Glee club reach the success that he knows is possible. Overall, the message of the song fits in with life. A always believe in your dreams and don’t ever give up on them because they are achievable. :;

If this was the days of Trax in the 90′s you would always hear Robert Miles Children, not anymore but this would def get me pumped.
Echo Shade – Fluorescent Nights
At the moment, and don’t judge me, I’d have to say the Britney Spears “Hold It Against Me” (JumpSmokers remix)—I just love when the horns come in.

If I was a big homo (I am), I’d say “Since you’ve been gone” by Kelly Clarkson complete with fist pumping action, but “Let me think about it” by Ida Corr and Fedde le Grand is my official answer.
An early 80′s bass-heavy “Shakedown Street” by the Grateful Dead. Funky.
So normally i’m pretty good at keeping up the swag and staying cool on the dance floor but if Deceptacon by Le Tigre comes on I am going to fucking lose it. uncontrollably.
There’s something so nostalgic and untamed in that song. Brings me right back to 2003 when I was a sophomore in High School. I came to DC from WV for the protest against the Iraqi War and Le Tigre was playing on the Mall. First gay liberating experience of my life. My first slice of acceptance. It will always be near and dear to me.
Now, fuckin rage:

“If You Forget Me” by RAC!
I WANT YOU BACK by the Jackson 5.
Always Be My Baby by Mariah Carey.
“Groove Is In The Heart” —– no resisting this song since 1990!
My college had a tradition where whenever Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” came on everyone had to run to the dance floor and take off their shirts. It made for a wonderful respite from the sexually awkward nature of most college students and the tradition is so ingrained in me that I have been kicked out of no fewer than 5 bars on DC for doing it after someone unknowingly put it on.
And it goes without saying that taking off my shirt in a Smithsonian museum is close to the top of my bucket list and if that song were played I would have a good excuse
tayisha busay – ‘what the f*** you doing in my mouth?’
