Happy near weekend, Washingtonians! We've got you covered for plans from tonight through Sunday. Want to watch McCain's acceptance speech tonight? We've got a guide to parties. Plus, there's our regular weekend picks, and check back soon—we'll have a roundup of bars hosting specials for tonight's Redskins game!
