Thursday, May 27: The secondSex and the City movie comes out on Thursday, which is a historic, important, life-changing event probably for no one in the Wonkette universe.

Sunday, May 30: Washingtonians are modern, sophisticated people who just love to roast organic pigs in parking lots, for fun, and sometimes for charity. A big, hormone-free, locally grown pig will be roasted this weekend at 3 Bar&Grill and the proceeds from its consumption will go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The event also features drink specials, including $3 Bell’s Oberon Ale, $2 Miller Lite and $5 Bacon Bloody Marys, should you need some pork to help you wash down your pork. [3 Bar & Grill ]

Monday, May 31: There's no better way to thank the troops for their service, as is customary on Memorial Day, than to attend Cafe St. Ex's and Bar Pillar's Memorial Day charity chili cook-off that benefits ... the arts.
