Where in the world is John Legend? Put it this way: If you don’t see him this weekend
at one point or another, you’re probably doing something wrong.
The nine-time Grammy-winning singer and actor, best known for his 2005 hit “Ordinary
People,” is scheduled to attend a whopping nine events this weekend. In case you’re
out and about and wondering where to spot him, we’ve rounded them up below. If you
see the man around this weekend, tweet us a picture @washingtonian or @afterhoursblog
