Space Camp, Anyone?
It's like a day camp for grownups!
Hey, do you think there are swimming pools in outer space?
This Saturday, Brightest Young Things is hosting Space Camp on the roof of the Capitol Skyline Hotel (10 I St. S.W.) from noon to 8 p.m. as part of its Summer Camp Series.
The first 30 people through the door get to scarf free astronaut ice cream (yum?). And we think everyone can agree that a moon bounce and model rockets are tops. The BYT Web site also promises space-themed crafts/games, inflatable pool toys and food and drinks (let's hope the last one isn't literal). Dance the day away to the tunes of space disco DJs, ED Dudes, Nitekrawler, Deep Sang & Meistro.
A mere $10 will buy you the day by the pool. Another fiver gets you drinks, and for $4, enjoy calamari, wings and falafel. For those looking for more elaborate poolside dining, a full lunch and dinner menu will be available. ATMs and lockers will be on hand too -- but we suggest you bring your own padlock (or get one from the hotel for $10).
Plus, Brightest Young Things will be previewing the new LP from DISCOVERY (Rostam from Vampire Weekend and Wes from Ra Ra Riot), out July 7 on XL. Make sure to stick around for free giveaways, too.
Sounds like a fun day under the sun -- oh please, please, let there be sun. And since we won't actually be in space with no atmosphere, there just might be a chance.
