Hardwell @ Echostage โ DC Ravers Night Out
๐ฅ If you love big melodies, massive drops, and the energy of a festival main stage, Hardwell is one of the best to ever do it.
A generation of EDM fans discovered electronic music through artists like Hardwell. His sets are packed with uplifting moments, hands-in-the-air anthems, and the kind of crowd energy that turns thousands of strangers into a single community for the night.
Hardwell helped define the sound of modern EDM and continues to deliver high-energy performances that remind us why festival culture exploded around the world.
This is not a subtle show. Itโs big, loud, emotional, and unapologetically fun.
Whether youโve followed Hardwell for years or are seeing him for the first time, expect a night of unforgettable moments and enough energy to power you through the weekend.

Lolita Picnic
DC Anime Club Will Host a Lolita Picnic
We will meet up in front of the Smithsonian Metro station at the top of the entrance escalators at
Mall Exit and then proceed to the picnic area.
For those who are unfamiliar, Lolita is a fashion subculture in Japan that
is primarily influenced by Victorian children clothing, as well as
costumes from the Rococo period.
Lolita has made this into a unique fashion by adding gothic and original
design elements to the look. From this, Lolita fashion has evolved into
several different sub ...styles and has created a devoted subculture in
Japan. The Lolita look consists primarily of a knee- length skirt or dress,
headdress, blouse, petticoat, knee-high socks or stockings, and
rocking horse or high heel/platform shoes.
Attendees are encouraged to bring food, since there will be a potluck with the photo shoot.
We hope to see you there.
For more information please contact
president@dcanimeclub.org.

The Happy Treehouse Social Club of Alexandria Presents a Wicked FUN Improv Night
The Happy Treehouse Social Club of Alexandria Presents a Wicked FUN Improv Night Under the Pavilion with The Ripple Effect
OVERVIEW: Letโs be honest. Life gives us plenty of serious moments. This night is not one of them.
TIME: Join us from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM for a night of spontaneous comedy with The Ripple Effect, an improv troupe that travels around the DMV bringing laughter to places where people could use a little more joy.
Hospitals, community events, gatherings like this one. Anywhere people need a good laugh, we show up and start a ripple.
And once the laughter starts, it spreads fast.
POOL: The pool (heated to 85 degrees) will be OPEN just no making noise during the actual improv show which will be between 9-10:30pm. Bring your own towel and note you cannot take a shower at the Happy Treehouse.
WHAT IS INPROV: If youโve never seen improv live before, youโre in for a treat. Nothing is scripted. No one knows whatโs going to happen next, including us. The entire show is built in real time based on your suggestions from the audience.
You might shout out a job.
A location.
A random object.
And suddenly youโre watching a scene about a dog therapist with boundary issues or a married couple arguing about who forgot to charge the emotional support Roomba.
Thatโs the magic of improv. Quick thinking, unexpected twists, and the kind of laughter that sneaks up on you.
Why people love watching improv
You laugh harder because you never see the joke coming.
You get to participate by shouting out ideas that shape the scene.
You watch performers build something hilarious out of thin air.
And the whole audience ends up laughing together because everyone is experiencing something that has never happened before and will never happen again.
WHY COME?: Youโll definitely walk out feeling lighter than when you walked in.
And along the way you might meet a few new people who also enjoy laughing.
Because honestlyโฆ who doesnโt want funny friends?
VIBE FOR THE NIGHT & WHAT TO BRING: The vibe for the evening
This is a relaxed BYOB potluck gathering under the pavilion.
Bring your favorite drink.
Bring a dish to share.
Bring a lawn chair if you have one.
If you forget a chair, no problem. You can grab one of the chairs here, relax on the in-ground trampoline, or find a cozy spot around the pavilion.
Weโll have the fire going, sโmores ready, and plenty of room to settle in and enjoy the show.
Think backyard comedy club meets campfire hangout.
Great people. Great laughs. A little silliness. And a ripple of joy spreading through the crowd.
Hope to see you there.
Your Happy Host With Southern Charm & North East Wit
