THE BIG COVER-UP: Tape obscures the brand name “Don’s Johns” on Wednesday on portable toilets set up for Friday’s inauguration. Many have speculated that the logos were covered so as not to offend President-elect Donald Trump. Officials say it was done to comply with rules against advertising on Capitol grounds.

THE DISTRICT Those who were around for President Barack Obama’s first inauguration in 2009 probably have a lot of the same memories: The frigid air. The long security lines. And the newly elected president’s face looking out from just about anything that stayed still. Shirts, mugs, posters, tote bags, calendars, buttons, hats — it seemed every street corner had a card table with a pile of Obama merchandise. If the lead-up is any indication, Friday’s inauguration of Donald Trump will be different. “With the last time, people had bought more leading up the inauguration,” says Mai Ngo, manager at Honest Abe’s Souvenirs on 10th Street NW. “This time around, I haven’t seen the same excitement or energy.

A not-so-hopping affair Trump’s inauguration is shaping up to be D.C.’s smallest party in years
Metro expands its service for women’s march
JOHN MINCHILLO (AP)
THE DISTRICT The Arkansas State Society has a grand tradition of throwing elegant inaugural affairs. In 1953, when President Eisenhower was sworn in, it hosted a ball, a reception and a square dance. The 1993 celebration for President Clinton featured a performance by first brother Roger Clinton and his blues band, Politics. In 2009, 1,000 guests turned out for the society’s party to celebrate the first inaugural of President Obama, who lost the state by nearly 20 points. This year, the Arkansas ball was canceled, due to a lack of interest, organizers told Little Rock’s Democrat-Gazette. Veteran Washington partyhoppers know that the “official” balls — where the new president and his wife make an appearance — are generally just a small part of the inauguration party scene. Every four years, the city comes alive with a flurry of unofficial celebrations, ranging from chummy state-society affairs to exclusive corporate shindigs to cash-bar mixers open to anyone. But although it’s hard to predict the size of the crowds that will greet President-elect Donald Trump at his public events this week, it seems increasingly clear that the after-hours revelry will

be markedly muted. Not only is Trump hosting only three official balls — far fewer than his predecessors at their first inaugurals — but the spillover festivities appear to be smaller and fewer. Several of the city’s great halls are going unrented. Far fewer big-name celebrities are headed to town. And while many events are reportedly sold out, others are still looking to fill their rooms. Trump’s high-profile struggle to attract celebrities to perform at his inauguration has trickled down to the unofficial balls. The Recording Industry Association of America got superstar Rihanna to play its ball in 2009. For Trump, they’re trotting out Big & Rich. Even a Bruce Springsteen cover band that played
the Garden State Presidential Inaugural Gala for both Obama inaugurations has dropped out. The overall low wattage of the weekend may reflect the president-elect’s drooping approval ratings; it may not help that he drew a mere 4 percent of the vote in D.C. — historically low even in a Democrat-dominated city. Locals aren’t exactly eager to raise a glass to toast our new president. But people don’t even want to drink to forget him. Party planners Brightest Young Things hosted all-day inauguration extravaganzas in 2009 and 2013. But even though they’d have the prime audience for a massive anti-Trump blowout, they decided to sit this year out. “I felt the energy is going to be

I’m officially a grown-up.” There’s one part of the city — a particular corridor of wealth and clubby conservatism — that might seem a little livelier, though. “I feel like Georgetown might be real busy,” said nightclub owner Ian Hilton. He’s right. Franco Nuschese, owner of Cafe Milano, says his reservations for private parties were full “immediately after the election, as expected,” Nuschese said. “In a very humble way, we knew it.

President-elect Donald Trump’s hotel in D.C. is off-limits to media during Inauguration week. Patricia Tang, director of sales and marketing for the Trump International in Washington, said Wednesday that media are banned from the hotel grounds through Sunday to protect the privacy of guests. The hotel opened in September after Trump won a lease from the federal government to renovate the Old Post Office building on Pennsylvania Avenue, a few blocks from the White House. Tang said she is confident the ban does not violate the hotel’s lease with the government. (AP)

TRANSPORTATION Metro will open two hours early Saturday and add extra trains to accommodate the crowds expected to attend the Women’s March on Washington, officials said Wednesday, announcing a change from the transit agency’s original decision to offer regular weekend service. The rail system will open at 5 a.m. and will add up to two dozen trains for the event, Metro General Manager Paul J. Wiedefeld said. Metro’s original plan to run regular weekend service had drawn criticism from riders and march participants, who urged the transit agency to reconsider boosting transit options the day after the inauguration, when thousands of people are expected to arrive in Washington for a demonstration to “promote women’s equality and defend other marginalized groups.” Metro Board Chairman Jack Evans said “Metro heard from lots of customers about the need for additional service this weekend and worked quickly to respond.” The additional trains will be deployed on the Red and Orange lines, which expect high ridership, Metro said. Trains will also be added between FranconiaSpringfield and Greenbelt, running on the “Rush Plus” route via the Yellow Line Bridge from 6 to 10 a.m. and 1 to 5 p.m. Riders will also be spared from any track work or station closings, as none are scheduled for Saturday.

Tell us what you think about Metro’s “Reality Check” budget proposal Metro has proposed a Fiscal Year 2018 operating budget that funds key safety, service and customer initiatives critical to reversing declining ridership and building a financially sustainable future. However, with a budget gap of $290 million, the proposed budget requires shared sacrifice from local government funders, Metro business operations and riders. To fill the budget gap, the jurisdictions are being asked to contribute more and Metro’s management has identified cost-cutting actions, including the elimination of 1,000 positions. The budget also asks riders to pay 10¢ to 25¢ more for their rail and bus trips, and rightsizes service to match current ridership levels.

Hogan releases FY2018 budget Plan includes increase in some spending, cuts for P.G. medical center MARYLAND Gov. Larry Hogan, Maryland’s Republican governor, released detailed budget numbers to the Democrat-controlled General Assembly on Wednesday. In a preview Tuesday, the governor touted that his proposed budget would decrease general fund spending. Indeed, details released Wednesday propose a $19.5 million reduction in general fund spending, approximately one-tenth of a percent. However, the proposal would increase total state spending to $43.541 billion — $467 million, or approximately 1 percent, more than the 2017 budget. Along with the budget, the governor submitted recommendations that would reduce spending mandated by the legislature by a total of $247 million. On the Senate floor Wednesday, Senate President Thomas V. “Mike” Miller Jr. criticized one such reduction that cuts mandated funding for Prince George’s Medical Center by $15 million; a separate line in the budget reduces funding for the hospita l by a nother $7.5 million.

general fund budget includes a 92 percent cut to funding for the Department of Housing and Community Development. Under the proposal, total funding — which includes state and federal dollars — for that agency would fall by about 7 percent. The budget allocates $165 million less to the state’s reserve fund, basically the state’s savings accounts, than 2017’s budget. Because contributions to the fund are listed as an expenditure, this causes the overall increase in spending elsewhere to appear smaller than it is. Under the proposed budget, spending on items other than the reserve fund will increase by a net total of $632 million, a 1.4 percent increase over 2017. JACOB TAYLOR (CAPITAL NEWS SERVICE VIA AP)

ENVIRONMENT In a powerful testament to the warming of the planet, leading science agencies Wednesday declared 2016 the hottest year on record, surpassing the record set in 2015 — which itself had topped a record set in 2014. Average surface temperatures in 2016, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, were 0.07 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than in 2015. The average temperature across the world’s land and ocean surfaces was 58.69 degrees Fahrenheit, or 1.69 degrees above the 20th-century average of 57 degrees, NOAA said. The agency’s records go back to 1880. NASA concurred with NOAA, also declaring 2016 the warmest year on record. Last year “is remarkably the third record year in a row,” Gavin Schmidt, who directs NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said in a statement. “We don’t expect record years every year, but the ongoing longterm warming trend is clear.” The record was announced two days before Donald Trump, who has tweeted that global warming is a “hoax,” assumes the presidency and, with it, control over the two science agencies that just

People would book the vehicle through an app, similar to the way ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft work. Enders said Airbus is also working on package delivery drones and autonomous buses. “We are in an experimentation phase. We take this development very seriously,” he said, according to Reuters. “With flying, you don’t need to pour billions into concrete bridges and roads.” Enders plans for all these vehicles to be 100 percent electric.

Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., one of Congress’ most vehement critics of the Affordable Care Act, told senators Wednesday that “it is absolutely imperative” for the government to ensure that all Americans “have the opportunity to gain access” to insurance coverage — a more modest goal than President-elect Donald Trump has set forth in recent days. In a hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, Price laid out the central elements of his years-long attempt to replace the ACA along conservative lines. Price said he would work to ensure that “drug prices are reasonable and individuals across the country have access” to needed prescriptions. In the past, he has favored giving each state a Medicaid block grant and freeing states from many federal rules. Price, who practiced as an orthopedic surgeon for nearly two decades before entering politics, indicated that an ACA replacement plan would probably be ready by March.

At final presser, Obama defends last acts in office POLITICS President Barack Obama on Wednesday defended his decision to cut nearly three decades off the prison term of leaker Chelsea Manning, arguing in his final White House news conference that the former Army intelligence analyst had served a “tough prison sentence” already. He said he granted clemency to Manning because she had gone to trial, taken responsibility for her crime and received a sentence that was harsher than others who had revealed government secrets. She has served almost seven years. Taking questions two days before his presidency ends, Obama also warned that the “moment may be passing” for a two-state solution to the IsraeliPalestinian conflict, pushing back on criticism over his recent move to put pressure on the Jewish state over settlement-building. Reflecting on his legacy as the first black president, Obama disputed the notion that race relations had worsened. And he dismissed as “fake news” the idea that there is voter fraud in the U.S. As if to reinforce his emphasis on diversity, he called on journalists from Latino, LGBT, African-American and foreign outlets for questions. He praised reporters for “asking tough questions” and being a conduit of information to ordinary people. “You’re supposed to be skeptics,” he said. “Having you in this building has helped this place work better.” (AP/TWP)

nation+world West African nations prepared to intervene at midnight deadline
GAMBIA After more than two decades in power, former Gambian President Yahya Jammeh faced the prospect of a midnight military intervention by regional forces as he refused to cede power to President-elect Adama Barrow late Wednesday. A few minutes after a midnight deadline set by the West African regional bloc to step down, there was no word from Jammeh. Earlier, a military commander with the regional bloc known as ECOWAS announced that troops were positioning along Gambia’s
borders: “We are waiting so that all political means have been exhausted. The mandate of the president is finished at midnight,” declared Seydou Maiga Mboro, speaking on Senegalese radio. As midnight approached, Jammeh was meeting with Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz on the crisis. The two leaders have had good relations. As threats of military intervention mounted, hundreds of foreign tourists were evacuating on special charter flights. The downtown area of the capital Banjul was empty late Wednesday, with all shops closed. But there was no visible military presence apart from a checkpoint at the entrance to the city. Tiny Gambia is surrounded by

Senegal and the Atlantic Ocean. Late Wednesday, witnesses reported Senegalese soldiers were deploying near Gambia. Nigeria confirmed a warship
was heading toward Gambia for “training,” and Ghana also has pledged to contribute militarily. The regional bloc was seeking the U.N. Security Council’s endorsement of its “all necessary measures” to remove Jammeh. Jammeh, who first seized power in a 1994 coup, initially conceded defeat after a December vote, but after reports emerged suggesting he could face criminal charges linked to his rule, he reversed himself a week later. Human rights groups have long accused Jammeh of arresting, jailing and killing political opponents, and there have been fears for Barrow’s safety. Barrow has remained in the Senegalese capital since last weekend.

CULTURE In a break from tradition, the Office of the First Lady could be nearly empty in the opening days of the Trump administration. Melania Trump, the incoming president’s wife, will remain in New York while her young son, Barron, finishes the school year. Although Trump’s daughter Ivanka will move to Washington, the family’s spokeswoman Hope Hicks said flatly that “Ivanka will not have a role in the East Wing.” There have been no announcements from the Trump transition team about who will serve on the first lady’s staff or handle the traditional White House events, some of which begin as soon as a new administration takes office. The unsalaried first lady is expected to act as a hostess, and has a substantial paid staff to assist in planning lunches and dinners, supporting causes and traveling for goodwill tours. As of press time, neither an East Wing chief of staff nor a social secretary had been appointed. “They are way, way behind,” said a former East Wing staff member who has talked with members of Trump’s team and spoke to The Post on the condition of anonymity. Since her husband’s election, Melania has not embraced being a public figure, although she did say during the campaign that she intends to take on cyberbullying as an issue.

Broken defense: Redskins should return to the 4-3 of rushing from the outside in either formation. That versatility would help the Redskins revert to the 3-4 in certain situations. Under Barry, the team mixed it up by showing the occasional 4-3 look. The Redskins never found a dominant nose tackle to anchor their three-man front. To run a 4-3, two big tackles who can stop the run and clog the middle are essential. Chris Baker is a free agent whom Washington should resign. The other tackle could be a first- or second-round pick rather than a free agent. Washington hasn’t had much luck investing big money in defensive tackles. Dana Stubblefield, Dan Wilkinson and Albert Haynesworth didn’t work out. It would be better to get a hungry rookie in the middle like Auburn’s Montravius Adams with the 17th overall selection. Moving to a 4-3 puts more pressure on the secondary. But it could allow safety Su’a Cravens to play closer to the line, and the Redskins have been trying to figure out where to
3 TONI L. SANDYS (THE WASHINGTON POST)
It’s time for the Redskins to admit defeat and go back to a 4-3 defense. Their sevenyear experiment with a 3-4 scheme — now the norm for NFL defenses — has failed. The team hasn’t ranked in the top 10 in total defense since 2009, the year before Mike Shanahan and Jim Haslett implemented a defense with three linemen and four linebackers. Washington has to hire a new defensive coordinator to replace fired Joe Barry, so it’s the perfect time to switch back. Of the candidates already interviewed, only former Jaguars coach Gus Bradley comes from a team that used the 4-3 in 2016. A 4-3 would require at least one outside linebacker to move to the line. Ryan Kerrigan, who played defensive end at Purdue, led the team with 11 sacks this season. Trent Murphy, who had nine sacks, was converting to defensive line before moving back to linebacker. Both are capable

Ryan Kerrigan, who led the Redskins with 11 sacks in 2016, could move from outside linebacker to defensive end if they change to a 4-3 scheme.
best use the hybrid player. Washington desperately needs another safety, and should spend some of its roughly $61 million in salary cap space (seventh-most, according to overthecap.com) on a free agent. Tony Jefferson (Cardinals) and Barry Church (Cowboys) are more affordable options than Eric Berry, who could draw the franchise tag from the Chiefs. General manager Scot McCloughan said upon his arrival two years ago that he prefers large, powerful linemen because the game is won in the
trenches. Yet Washington has done nothing substantial on the defensive line in his tenure. The team is expected to build up its defense this offseason. McCloughan would be best served remembering his motto of putting linemen first. The 3-4 is trendy, but the Redskins never found the right personnel to run it well. Washington should learn from the past seven years and put its focus up front. Rick Snider has covered sports in Washington since 1978. Follow him on Twitter @Snide_Remarks

In a statement Tuesday evening, the school announced that all future workouts have been modified and that the strength coach will now report to director of performance and sports science Andrew Murray instead of coach Willie Taggart, who apologized.

up front A revolution with relevance EXHIBITS Don’t be sad that the Phillips Collection is lending its half of the paintings in Jacob Lawrence’s famed “Migration Series” to a Seattle museum through the end of April. The Phillips is temporarily filling the hole with Lawrence’s “The Life of Toussaint L’Ouverture,” a series of 15 silkscreen prints that curator Elsa Smithgall calls “a lesser-known but equally important body of Lawrence’s work.” Born in 1917 in New Jersey,
the prolific African-American painter chronicled the black experience in the U.S. right up until his death in 2000. Lawrence first discovered the history of L’Ouverture — the former slave who became the leader of Haiti’s struggle for independence in the 1790s — when he was 13. He was so fascinated by the story of the man who led the most successful slave revolt in the Americas that he started doing his own research. “Having no Negro history
makes the Negro people feel inferior to the rest of the world,” Lawrence said in a speech in D.C. in 1940. “I didn’t do it just as a historical thing, but because I believe these things tie up with the Negro today. We don’t have a physical slavery, but an economic slavery. If these people, who were so much worse off than the people today, could conquer their slavery, we certainly can do the same thing.” In 1938, when Lawrence was 20, he completed a series of 41 paintings showing important moments in L’Ouverture’s life. “The themes of struggle and the fight for freedom became the bedrock of his works,” Smithgall says. Fifty years later, in 1986, after a fruitful career and

breaking color barriers in the art world, Lawrence decided to revisit L’Ouverture. He looked at his original paintings, chose 15 of his favorites and hired D.C. master printmaker Lou Stovall to help him translate the paintings into silk-screen prints, which could be printed en masse and sent to all corners of the U.S., spreading knowledge about the history of the Haitian Revolution. “Lawrence was always thinking about the educational value of his work,” Smithgall says. “This was a way to expose more people to his series and the history of L’Ouverture.” ELENA GOUKASSIAN (FOR EXPRESS)

A nightcap turns ugly in Ford’s Theatre’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”
FORD’S THEATRE
Weekend Unlimited Champagne Brunch
STAGE In October, “Saturday Night Live” aired a sketch featuring drunk, bougie hamsters getting into extremely inappropriate arguments in front of their dinner guests, two much younger hamsters recently placed in their cage (including one played by host Emily Blunt). The skit was a tribute to playwright Edward Albee, who died in September, and his most famous work, 1962’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” Though the original play is more tragic than comic, the sketch was really on the (tiny red) nose. You can see for yourself with Ford’s Theatre’s production of the play, opening Saturday and directed by D.C.’s most prolific playwright/director, Aaron Posner. There are only four characters to follow as a disastrous
nightcap unfolds in real time: the middle-aged host couple — George (Gregory Linington) and Martha Posner (Holly Twyford) — and the younger couple they invite to their home for afterparty drinks — Nick (Danny Gavigan) and Honey (Maggie Wilder). There’s not much action, apart from a few drunken antics, but the often cringeworthy dialogue digs into the darkest depths of relationships, marriage and humanity at large. Though this is the first time Posner has directed one of Albee’s works, this classic in particular has played a recurring role in his life. “My mother saw a tour of ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’ when she was pregnant with me, and my dad’s an academic [like George],” Posner says. “The first time I saw the play, my parents took me in junior high to a production at the University of Oregon. I was way too young, and I
found it very upsetting. I thought, These people are not well.” Posner — best known for his adaptations of the tragic family dramas of Anton Chekhov — eventually grew to appreciate the brutal honesty of it all. “Chekhov and Albee share an instinctive desire to tell the truth onstage,” he says. “They’re not shy or polite; they hold a mirror for us and demand we look. It’s tempting at times to turn your face away from plays like this, but the more time we spend with them, the more we understand what’s going on in reality. We judge the characters and unquestionably see their humanity.” For someone who’s made his career out of reworking the classics, Posner’s production will be surprisingly true to the original. “We haven’t changed a word,” he says. “We’re doing our best to do the most honestly complex, human version we can.” ELENA GOUKASSIAN (FOR EXPRESS)

The swanky setting — and price — will guarantee you don’t feel left out when you order the Holy Grail mocktail ($14) at Quill in the Jefferson Hotel. This brightly colored beverage features muddled raspberries with lemon juice and lavender honey. You also get the show of the beverage being shaken before going into a martini glass, where it’s topped with some Sprite and a bit of sage.
Is there a better time of year for a mocktail named Smells Like Snow ($6)? The star ingredient in this drink at Kinship is fresh apple cider, which is cooked down and infused with such spices as star anise and cinnamon. Then it’s combined with ginger, lemon juice and club soda for a beverage that’s sweet, spiced and tart, with just the right amount of effervescence.
This drink ($7) at the new pastafocused restaurant from Fabio and Maria Trabocchi in Van Ness is what every mocktail should aim to be. Its appearance — the coupe glass, the flower floating in the liquid — makes it feel special, and the flavors are on point, too. Tart pomegranate juice makes for a lovely pairing with a winterappropriate spiced syrup, and the fizz of club soda is a final festive flourish.

Artists united against gravity Ballet dancers and jugglers hit their marks (and not each other) in ‘4x4: Ephemeral Architectures’
STAGE Have you ever hit a ballet dancer with a juggling club? Sean Gandini has — just not on purpose. It’s the risk you run when you try to combine juggling and ballet — two art forms that depend on precisely executed, perfectly timed movements to create the illusion of weightlessness — into one performance. Gandini is the creator, the director and one of the performers of “4x4: Ephemeral Architectures,” a mesmerizing clockwork of human bodies and juggling objects flying through space that lands at Strathmore on Sunday. Collisions during performances are rare, says Gandini, a worldrenowned juggler, but in the months of rehearsals that took place before the piece’s London premiere in 2015, there were plenty of unintentional ballerina clubbings.
“The juggling props are pretty light, so it doesn’t really hurt if you get hit by them, especially when compared to the pain of wearing pointe shoes,” says Emma Lister, the show’s artistic coordinator and one of the dancers who will perform in D.C. When the touring group arrives at a new venue, the first thing the performers do is mark the stage with 60 pieces of colored tape. That’s about twice as many marks as other performances Lister has worked on, and getting the measurements exactly right is crucial. “There’s a precise geometry to this show,” Lister says. “Every finger and every foot has to be in the exact right spot. Even the spotlights have to hit their marks exactly.” There are no sets for the show. Instead, juggling props and dancers’ limbs create a cathedral’s
Quite the catch The marriage of juggling and ballet in “4x4: Ephemeral Architectures” has been so successful, it resulted in one actual marriage. Six months ago, artistic coordinator Emma Lister tied the knot with juggler Sakari Mannisto. The two are now working on a new show together that combines their art forms. Being married to a juggler has practical advantages as well as creative ones, Lister says. “If I’m on the other side of the room and I want to toss him the car keys, I can make any kind of wild throw and he’ll catch it,” she says. “On a day-to-day basis, it can be quite handy.” S.D.
worth of graceful arcs. “I called the show ‘Ephemeral Architectures’ because it’s what I think dancers and jugglers have in common — we are both
creating traces in the air, traces that only last for an instant, and then they are gone,” Gandini says. “The ‘4x4’ part is because there are four ballet dancers and four jugglers.” There are also five musicians playing “Suspended opus 69,” a modern classical piece composed for the performance by Nimrod Borenstein. Despite the cha l lenges, the performers of “4x4” have dropped only a few balls in hundreds of performances, Lister says. Additionally, all of the dancers have picked up some juggling skills, and the jugglers have gotten into ballet. “A lot of people can’t tell the dancers and the jugglers apart,” she says.

weekendpass Some film festivals are sprints, filled with back-to-back-to-back movies where audiences run on nothing but popcorn and Junior Mints. And some let you pace yourself a bit more, like “Reseeing Iran: The 21st Annual Iranian Film Festival.” The event, a celebration of Iran’s deep (and often overlooked) film tradition, opens Sunday and runs until March 1, giving you time to digest what you’ve seen (and eaten). Highlights of the festival — co-presented by the AFI Silver, the Freer and Sackler Galleries and the National Gallery of Art — include the
indies s + a r t ie
area premiere of “The Salesman,” the latest from renowned director Asghar Farhadi, as well as post-film discussions.
COHEN MEDIA GROUP
Iranian Film Festival
Kicking off the festival with a screening Sunday (AFI Silver, 5:15 p.m., $13), “The Salesman” is the story of a man who turns amateur detective after his wife is attacked in their new home in Tehran. Farhadi’s 2011 film “A Separation” took the Oscar for best foreign language film, and actor Shahab Hosseini (far left) won the best actor award at Cannes for this one, so look for “The Salesman” to be a leading contender when the Oscar race takes off.
“ROUSING ENTERTAINMENT ... A BIG PLAY WITH BIG IDEAS.”
The centerpiece of the festival is a month-long retrospective of the work of director Abbas Kiarostami, who died last year. Kiarostami is best known for his so-called “Koker trilogy,” a series of intersecting films set near the village of Koker before and after the 1990 earthquake that devastated parts of northern Iran. The second film, “And Life Goes On” (aka “Life, and Nothing More …”), a meta-fictional examination of the disaster, marks its 25th anniversary this year.

Staying outside for hours is different than a quick trip out into the cold. Even if the temperature is a relatively balmy 40 degrees (balmy, of course, for January), after a few hours of waiting, and waiting, you’ll feel winter’s wrath. Your bones will ache. Your face will chap. If it feels like you don’t need a scarf and a hat, bring them anyway.

Have a backup plan. You found a party that sounds perfect, but when you get to the venue, there’s a long line outside and a bouncer shaking his head. Don’t stand outside in the cold for 15 minutes trying to figure out what to do — have two or three other options. Never forget these words: Heels. Are. The. Worst. Inaugural parties are an endurance exercise. Wear flats — glittery ones, even — and you’ll have a much better time.

Most oppose the incoming Trump administration, though at least one is in favor and one claims neutrality. Here are some of the largest, in chronological order. SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)
1 Anti-war/anti-nuke rally Franklin Square Park, I and K streets NW, between 13th and 14th streets; Thu., 4-8 p.m.
What it is: An anti-Trump rally (permit pending) with speakers including former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein and a variety of punk and hip-hop groups, organized by the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign, Homes not Bombs, and the Revolutionary Road Radio Show. Their message: “We want to express our concern about buildup of nuclear weapons, especially in light of the recent statements made by Trump and the continued, failed war on terror,” says Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign spokesman Bruce Wright. “In our own country, we have neglected the poor and homeless for the sake of war.” If you go: The rally is part of an ongoing program of events set for Thursday through Sunday, including a picnic and drum circle Sunday at noon.

What it is: Organized by the ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), this permitted protest will take place directly at two different spots on the inauguration parade route. Their message: “Our goal is to say no to the Trump agenda,” ANSWER spokeswoman Sarah Sloan says. “We are standing with the communities most under attack by Trump and his incoming administration and Cabinet, including the Muslim community and immigrants. We’re calling
out Trump as a racist and a sexist and a bigot and sending the message that people are going to stand up against him and his administration.” If you go: Organizers advise showing up early to establish a strong, anti-Trump presence along the parade route. “We are going to have a stage with speakers and DJs, so there’s a lot going on all day,” Sloan says. Since this protest is within the secured area adjacent to the inauguration parade, all the usual parade route rules apply.

Sevyn Streeter Howard Theatre, 620 T St. NW; Sun., 8 p.m., $20-$25.
Sevyn Streeter was a member of the R&B girl groups RichGirl and TG4 and she’s cowritten songs for Alicia Keys, Chris Brown and Brandy. Now she’s making time for her own music. After dropping a bunch of singles, including the Gucci Mane-assisted banger “Prolly” and the breezy ballad “Before I Do,” Streeter is expected to release her long-delayed debut album as a solo artist, “Girl Disrupted,” this year.

Huggy Lowdown and Chris Paul “Tom Joyner Morning Show” staffers Huggy Lowdown and Chris Paul are returning to the DC Improv stage for six shows this weekend. Lowdown appears on the syndicated radio show daily, delivering entertainment news and gossip. Paul writes for the show and creates songs during football season called “Redskins Remixes.” Both are longtime stand-up comics and staples of D.C.’s comedy scene.
Monday, January 30 at 7:30 p.m. Kennedy Center Atrium Step into a dreamlike world with Mason Bates to explore hot-off-the-press chamber music! From Gabriella Smith’s intriguing Carrot Revolution to composer and vocalist Lisa Bielawa’s Ravishment and Drama/Self Pity, chamber music today is expanding into brave new territory. Curated by Kennedy Center Composer-in-Residence Mason Bates, the evening also includes a major string quartet by Pulitzer Prize winner John Adams, along with Chris Cerrone’s eerie electro-acoustic The Night Mare, and David Hertzberg’s Ellébore, a whimsical dream evocation.
DC Improv, 1140 Connecticut Ave. NW; Thu., 7:30 p.m., Fri. & Sat., 7:30 & 9:45 p.m., Sun., 7:30 p.m., $20-$22.

Myq Kaplan New York-based comic Myq Kaplan (host of the podcast “Hang Out With Me”) is a joke machine — it’s just the way his
brain works. He particularly likes word-based humor (puns are welcome) and challenging an audience’s preconceived notions about, well, anything. That should make his sets in D.C. this weekend particularly interesting, considering the inauguration will have just happened only a few miles away. The Big Hunt, 1345 Connecticut Ave. NW; Fri. & Sat., 8 & 10 p.m., $10.
Sun. MUSIC
Dashboard Confessional Frontman Chris Carrabba has hinted that Dashboard Confessional’s new music may have an acoustic sound. But diehard fans of the pop-punk emo band need not worry: Dashboard’s show at the Fillmore this weekend is likely to be packed with the old hits. Better break out all those old mix CDs so you can listen to “Hands Down” again. Fillmore, 8656 Colesville Road, Silver Spring; Sun., 7:30 p.m., $27.50
Mon. BOOKS
Edward Jay Epstein, ‘How America Lost Its Secrets’ Considering all the talk in the news about Donald Trump, Russia and the intelligence community, investigative journalist Edward Jay Epstein’s talk on his new book, “How America Lost Its Secrets: Edward Snowden, the Man and the Theft,” couldn’t be more timely. Epstein’s book examines how Snowden gained access to classified information, why he leaked it and how Russia (where Snowden currently lives) treats him as an intelligence asset. Politics and Prose, 5015 Connecticut Ave. NW; Mon., 7 p.m., free.
Wed. MUSIC
Mobb Deep After back-to-back tours celebrating the 20th anniversaries of two seminal hip-hop albums
THURSDAY | 01.19.2017 | EXPRESS | 31
top stops — 1995’s “The Infamous” and 1996’s “Hell on Earth” — Mobb Deep’s two members have branched out to work on their own projects while continuing to tour together. Havoc has recorded with other musicians, including Kanye West, while working on his own record. Prodigy, meanwhile, released “Commissary Kitchen: My Infamous Prison Cookbook,” which includes stories, recipes and survival skills picked up during his three years of incarceration on gun charges.
WEDNESDAY
Phox 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; Wed., 7 p.m., $20.
It’s been nearly three years since Wisconsin-based indie pop group Phox released its self-titled debut, which featured the bouncy single “Slow Motion.” After more than a year of touring and building anticipation for a follow-up, the band has decided to call it quits. Following the “Goodbye (For Now)” tour, which stops at the 9:30 Club next week, keep an eye on what these musicians do for solo work — especially lead singer Monica Martin, who also writes the group’s punny, poignant lyrics.

Fiona Apple pens a protest anthem
Jerry Seinfeld signs a massive deal with Netflix
NBC officially announces a ‘Will & Grace’ revival
Jerry Seinfeld and Netflix have announced a deal that will bring the star’s interview show, “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” to the streaming service later this year. Netflix said new episodes will premiere in late 2017 and previous episodes will also be made available. (The show has streamed on Crackle since its debut in 2012.) Seinfeld will also film two new stand-up specials for the streaming service, to be released later this year. In addition, Netflix said Seinfeld will “help develop scripted and nonscripted comedy programming” on the platform. (AP)
After months of speculation, NBC announced at the TV critics’ press tour on Wednesday that “Will & Grace” is returning to the network for a 10-episode run during the 2017-2018 season. The show, which has been off the air since 2006, is bringing back its original stars: Debra Messing, Eric McCormack, Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes. Creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick will serve as showrunners. “We’re thrilled that one of the smartest, funniest and most defining comedies in NBC history is coming back,” NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt said. (EXPRESS)
Fiona Apple has a message for Donald Trump, and she’s hoping the attendees at the Women’s March on Saturday will make it heard. “We don’t want your tiny hands/ anywhere near our underpants,” she sings in “‘Tiny Hands’ Women’s March Chant,” a minute-long protest anthem released this week. The piece opens by sampling the nowinfamous “Access Hollywood” tape — in which Trump was recorded making comments about groping women without their consent — played over a piano melody. The song is intended to be a rallying cry for the roughly 200,000 protesters who will descend on downtown Washington the day after Trump’s inauguration (though Apple is not currently on any reported list of attendees).

blog log “Even behind glass, [Colo] radiated awareness and a palpable if mysterious intelligence. Thanks for taking such good care of her.” @DSREYBURN tweets to the Columbus Zoo after it announced the death of its gorilla Colo, who died in her sleep less than a month after her 60th birthday. The world’s first gorilla born in a zoo, she was named at her 1956 birth after the Ohio city of Columbus. She outlived her life expectancy by two decades, becoming a great-great-grandmother. The zoo has received an outpouring of responses on social media from people sharing memories and photos of Colo from her six decades at the zoo.
“I don’t actually care that ppl are boycotting the inauguration because the inauguration is stupid and royalist. Just get to work.” @SETHAMANDEL shares an opinion on the 65 Democratic U.S. representatives (and counting) who will be skipping Donald Trump’s inauguration. Many made the decision after Trump’s disparaging tweets about Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., a civil rights icon. So far, no senator has come forward to say they will miss Friday’s events.

“Nelly dominated his era. Drake is dominating his era. What’s the debate?” @THEOFFICIALDOO weighs in on the heated Twitter debate over
which rapper is better — Nelly or Drake? It’s hard to compare the two, because Nelly was popular in the mid-2000s, when people still bought CDs and streaming didn’t exist. “If you’re debating between Nelly and Drake, just remember that Nelly had a solution for when it got hot in herre. Drake would’ve complained,” @Alex_Iosiovich wrote.

“Is anyone else a little disconcerted that Trump’s 2020 slogan ‘Keep America Great’ is directly from ‘The Purge’ movie?”
“Being born a billionaire delivers certain advantages that not even stupidity can strip away.”
@THOMAS_CONERTY on Donald
Trump’s pick for secretary of education, Betsy DeVos. In her confirmation hearing Tuesday, she struggled to demonstrate an understanding of federal protections for students with disabilities, and said some rural schools may need guns to ward off grizzly bears.
Trump’s possible 2020 campaign slogan, which he came up with during an interview with The Washington Post. It’s a variation on his 2016 campaign slogan, but also exactly the same slogan as in the 2016 horror film “The Purge: Election Year.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Memorizing something and actually learning it are not the same thing. You must do the latter for it to stick. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You don’t have to engage in an activity you don’t like just because you are in close proximity to those who do. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Getting from here to there may prove to be more complicated than usual. Perhaps you’ve not considered an option staring you in the face. WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

some knowledge others don’t, and this gives you an advantage in certain situations that are likely to be prevalent.
TODAY: With high pressure in complete control, today shapes up to be quite nice, at least by January standards. Winds are light and skies are partly to mostly sunny as highs head for the mid50s. Skies should still be partly to mostly clear into the evening. But we could see increasing clouds overnight or toward morning.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll
spot a sign ahead that puts you at ease — for now. When you get closer, you may realize you misread at least part of it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) It is unwise to assume that loved ones will be there when you call upon them. Make arrangements to get them there ahead of time.

Oprah to also stop speaking to Aaron Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is “going through great precautions not to make things worse” between himself and his estranged family members, a source told People. His father told The New York Times this week that the athlete cut off communication with him following his rise to fame. “You’re not going to see him on Oprah crying about all of this,” the source added. “He will deal with his family issues privately.” Jordan, Rodgers’ brother who “won” last year’s “Bachelorette,” said on the reality show that Rodgers’ disconnect is “just the way he’s chosen to do life.” (EXPRESS)
