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!

While there's plenty to do this weekend, you may want to keep it inside—Hanna is heading to the East, and should be dumping plenty of rain on us on Saturday.  

The slow economy is hitting airports—passenger numbers are way down at both National and Dulles airports. 

Frozen Tropics considers the proposed Shell Station on Maryland Avenue. 

Beware! Filming for Blonde Charity Mafia has apparently started.
