From a press release:
“On Saturday, August 22, 2020, the Bowser Administration and the DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), in conjunction with the DC Office of Cable Television, Film, Music & Entertainment (OCTFME), will celebrate the late Go-Go legend Chuck Brown’s birthday with the 6th Annual Chuck Brown Day virtually. The event celebrates the Godfather of Go-Go and the rich, original musical history of the District.
Mayor Muriel Bowser hosted a community celebration last February to sign a bill designating Go-Go music as the official music of Washington, DC. The legislation established a program to support, preserve, and archive Go-Go music and its history. Although the District cannot celebrate Chuck Brown Day in person this year, the community will come together online to give the music he loved an international platform for all to enjoy for his birthday.
The virtual festival will include two hours of entertainment and will broadcast on DCN Channel 16 from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., as well as stream on all of DPR’s social media platforms. Fans can also host watch parties on social media.
The event will be hosted by DJ Kool and feature performances by Suttle Thoughts, Experience Unlimited (E.U.) Featuring Sugar Bear, and the Chuck Brown Band.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
