Event Details: DC Weekend Preview: Dog Daze Edition - :

---

Happy almost weekend, TNG readers! This weekend, unbelievably, ushers in the eighth month of the year, and with it, the truly stifling Dog Days of summer – the kind of days you just want to lay around and do nothing, except maybe have someone drop by and plop a sprinkler down right next to you. If you can motivate yourself, however, to leave the air conditioning, you’ll be rewarded with great events this weekend.

Friday

• Join TNG for our newest dance event at the Black Cat, Transformer, a night of vintage rock, pop, glam and disco for the discerning queer. Details: The Black Cat backstage, 1811 14th St., NW. Doors at 9:30. All Ages. $5.
