Friday, November 6
Once upon a time, you were a Lego master, constructing sprawling cities, fire stations, and pirate ships until your older brother kicked them to pieces. Get building again today at Arundel Mills mall (7000 Arundel Mills Cir., Hanover ) as it celebrates the grand opening of the Lego store. Join a top Lego architect to build a 12-foot Christmas tree. The event is free and runs today until 7 and starts back up tomorrow at 11. We promise your brother won’t be involved.

College of William and Mary alumna [Ed. Note: Tribe Pride!] Thao Nguyen knows how to rock. She and her alternative folk/rock band, Thao With the Get Down Stay Down, will be back on their home turf tonight when they play on the Black Cat mainstage . Also playing are the Portland Cello Project and David Shultz. Tickets are $15. Show starts at 9.

A picture’s worth a thousand words, so when five emerging local photographerss display their work at the Rock & Roll Hotel, there’ll be more than enough words to go around. As part of FotoWeek DC, the shutterbugs will exhibit their art tonight from 6 to 11. Free.
