6 PM.

KARAOKE: DC has proven it can communicate in 140-character spurts, but when you get offline,
do you have what it takes to hit the high notes with a live band?
DC Tweetup is hosting a live-band karaoke sesh at Wonderland Ballroom. Better bring your A-game—you
don’t know heckling till it’s broadcast online. Free. 7 PM.
Wednesday, August 1
SHOP: Thrift-store shopping has never been more popular.
Goodwill knows that, which is why it’s hosting a three-day pop-up shop in the heart of Chinatown,
featuring the best in vintage fashion. Expect less of a crapshoot than your normal
thrifting, but similar prices. Open Wednesday through Friday, noon to 7.

COMEDY:
Tracy Morgan arguably plays the funniest character on
30 Rock, and in person he’s not much different. He proved he was out of touch when he made
insensitive gay jokes last year, but it seems like his career is back on track. He’ll
hit the stage at the Howard Theatre—check out the spectacle. Tickets ($55) are available
online. 7:30 and 10 PM.
