NATIONAL TREE LIGHTING: You’ve got to do it at least once – This year’s lighting is Dec 6th on the Ellipse behind the White House.

FOR TICKETS:  It’s a lottery so you register your email address online starting Oct 25 and then you’ll get a response if you get tickets. Sure beats the old way camping out in the cold at 5am. They are going to announce the performers next week. INFO

ON TV: Walawitz heads back from space on Big Bang Theory [CBS 8pm] and Miley Cyrus heads back to tv only this time on a big girl channel for Two And A Half Men. [CBS 8:30pm]

THIRSTY THURSDAY: There’s a new bar in town ladies, but we’re not talking cocktails. The new Drybar is a hair salon that only does shampoo and blow outs,  because it doesn’t matter what the stylist says, you can never recreate that look by yourself. There are two locations opening: one  in Bethesda, and in one in Georgetown (near the Social Safeway.)  INFO
