Weather: Noah’s Ark is looking pretty good right about now because D.C. is turning into a monsoon. Massive thunderstorms moving into the District all day, every day so stock up on that wine and prep for some serious Netflix and avoid-outdoors. 

Awesome events you can attend this weekend: Light up the night at SMITHSONIAN at 8’s GLow in the Garden tonight!; Beer Week continues, but this weekend is your last shot at chugging from the boot; Scuba will play a phenomenal show at Flash on Friday night, for those up late enough to see it; Get the spooky season started on Saturday with a 5k run through Congressional Cemetery.

ROUNDUP PRESENTED BY  Veritone

#WATCH

Before we can go full force into scarves and pumpkin patches, we need to pay our respects to the end of summer…

Ok, we’re done.

Does anyone really like September anyways? Sure, it’s cool because it means the beginning of fall, but honestly, we don’t trust anyone who drinks pumpkin beer before October.

#LOCAL

This is probably for the best, Uber; First it was unbearable heat, now it’s extreme rain…what’s next?; Change it up and chill in AdMo for a night; Funnel cakes, half smokes, and milkshakes…what more could you want; Dupont Circle is not feeling the love lately; The Circulator is taking full advantage of the Metro’s lack of popularity; Ya, we don’t want to climb all 897 steps; Even drones go grocery shopping now.

#NATIONAL

Apparently ‘America’ is spelled with two r’s; There’s a first for everyone, even Obama; Hillz happily shimmied away from that debate; It has been a heartbreaking week in baseball. RIP Jose Fernandez; Science is cool; But Michelle, adulting is hard; The NFL is taking the hits…hard.

Well America, it happened – the first debate between the two most unpopular people and everyone and their neighbors tuned in to watch it go down. We don’t blame you though. After all, it was on a Monday so why not start off the week on the wrong foot?

For those who weren’t as self-sabotaging and enjoyed a nice quiet evening, here’s everything you need to know:
