Thing to do this weekend: Global tour: Travel and works on paper

  There are a lot of activities in DC this weekend. I'm going to the Talk and Exhibit Event called "Global tour: Travel and works on paper". It's opening this Saturday at the University of California Washington Center at 1608 Rhode Island Ave. NW, Washington DC from 10 am to 11 am.
    Artist Sidney Lawrence will lead a tour of his 30 piece exhibition. This event will be organized at the Alcove Gallery of  the University. You could go there by car or by public transportation. They will have parking inside the University if you drive your car. Or you could take Metro, take the red line to Farragut North Metro Station. Exit the station and then turn right to Rhode Island Ave, you will see The University of California Washington on the right side.
   If you don't have any plans to do this weekend, why you don't try to do this? We just only have 1 hour to listen all information that the Artist try to give us.  So you should be there on time. It's going to be a wonderful weekend. See you there!
