End your first week back on campus with a quiet couple days of yoga and a book discussion. And from a smaller concert of talented local bands to icy fun with friends, there are a ton of ways to get off of Foggy Bottom.
Friday
Teen Mom DIY Show: Local band Teen Mom will play a house show at the Bathtub Republic along with Brooklyn band Honey Wild and D.C. group Big Hush. Big Hush will start the night with crisp dream pop tracks and strong guitar riffs, alluding to Teen Mom’s soft, pop-influenced tracks, while Honey Wild will take it back to surf rock days.
The Bathtub Republic, 3119 11th St. NW, 8 p.m. $5.

Questlove DJ Set: Questlove is best known for playing drums in The Roots. But since his start with the band, Questlove has produced multiple albums, written a notable memoir and appeared on television shows and “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.” Late this Friday night at The Howard Theatre, Questlove will put on a DJ set with his collection of over 50,000 vinyl records sure to get everyone dancing.
The Howard Theatre, 620 T St. NW, 10 p.m. $20.
Saturday
Ice Yards: A winter wonderland will be waiting for you and your friends at The Yards Park near the Navy Yard Metro station. Just like the summer favorite Splash Yards, Ice Yards will feature activities for adults including live music and DJ sets, ice bars, fire pits and even hot tubs. Spend the day at this snowy village and forget about the cold.
The Yards Park, Third and Water streets SE, 2 p.m. Free. This event is 21+.
Scott Timberg Book Discussion: Scott Timberg, a culture writer and former arts journalist, will discuss the decline of traditional media. The digitization of music, books and other mediums has led to economic challenges that Timberg believes could make our society less creative. His book focuses on the familiar Los Angeles arts scene, a collaborative environment for many creative artists.
Politics & Prose, 5015 Connecticut Ave. NW, 6 p.m. Free.
Sunday
Katherine Meloan Concert: New York organist Katherine Meloan will play at Washington National Cathedral on Sunday. Meloan, who was awarded the Bronson Ragan Award for musical performance, will play the Cathedral’s 10,650-pipe great organ.
Washington National Cathedral, 5:15 p.m. $10.
