This Weekend

Nothing says "weekend" like politics and tap dancing.

On Saturday, Mayorga Coffee Roasters (8040 Georgia Ave) hosts a community forum with Councilwoman-elect Valerie Ervin (left). The shin dig runs from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and costs $40 per person ($20 if you're packing college ID).

Also on Saturday, the dance troupe Tappers With Attitude tears it up at Los Arrieros (7926 Georgia Ave) on Saturday from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The performance is free, but the dinner on your plate will cost you.

How does a "community forum" cost $40? I'm curious how many people would (or could) pay that kind of money just to see a woman who probably lives down the street from them.

The Ervin event is sponsored by a nonprofit group called Community Bridges. It's not clear whether the group pockets any part of the $40 cover charge.
