Wednesday, September 26: It’s fall! What better way to celebrate than . . . being able to drink all day at discounted prices?

Thursday, September 27: Take a trip to the Birchmere (3701 Mt. Vernon Ave., Alexandria) to catch one-of-a-kind singer-songwriter Nellie McKay.

Tickets available through Ticketmaster. 7:30 PM; $25.
