Bishops Cut/Color: Hair Care for All Ages, Genders and Sensibilities — And Bonus Beer!

By PoP Sponsor (a)

Finding the right place to get your haircut is tough.

You pay too much, it takes too long to schedule, the cut is bad. Everyone remembers that bad haircut they got. Well, Bishops is working to fix that.

Bishops Cuts and Color fosters an open and inclusive environment. They have non-binary pricing, meaning that they price cuts and services by hair length and service time, not gender. Bishops believes that no one should pay more because of their gender identity. And they offer a wide and diverse set of services and products that serve all hair types.

Plus, going to Bishops doesn’t feel like a chore. When you walk in, the first thing that you will be offered is a complimentary 3 Stars beer. And you can enjoy murals from local D.C. artists.

You can find Bishops in either Dupont Circle or Navy Yard. They offer easy online booking (Dupont Circle and Navy Yard), and they always welcome walk-ins.

Classical Concert Inspired by Native American Culture, at National Cathedral

By PoP Sponsor (a)

The music of Native American people inspired a unique style of classical music known as the “Indianist” movement, and on October 16 the National Cathedral will host a concert with PostClassical Ensemble showcasing their groundbreaking adaptations.

U.S. Representative Deb Haaland (D-N.M.), the first Native American woman to preside over the U.S. House of Representatives, is scheduled to make introductory remarks, followed by music and dancing. Included in the program are performances from the Lakota Music Project and the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra, singing and drumming by Emmanuel Black Bear, and powerful invocations by tribal elder Chris Eagle Hawk.

Organized and performed by the PostClassical Ensemble and conducted by Ángel Gil-Ordonez, performances will include Shakamaxon for string orchestra and Resolution from Standing Bear, both by Jerod Tate, a Chickasaw composer and pianist whose work draws on American Indian history and culture. Curt Cacioppo’s Five North American Indigenous Songs for a cappella chorus will also see its D.C. debut.

Tickets are available here.

The “Native American Inspirations” program takes place Wednesday, October 16 at 7:30 p.m. at the Washington National Cathedral. Tickets range from $10 for students to $25-$65.

By PoP Sponsor (a)

Step right up for Friends of the National Zoo’s adults-only Halloween dance party featuring curiosities, grotesques and beastly good fun: Night of the Living Zoo, sponsored by Groupon, on October 25 at Smithsonian’s National Zoo.

Oh, and no big deal, but you could be the lucky winner of a cool $1,000 for your costuming efforts.

Err on the lazy side, costume-wise? (A beret and a penciled-on mustache, anyone?) You’ll still have a blast at this dark-carnival-themed party. Epic street performers — including a sword swallower, a fire eater, living statues, magicians and stilt walkers — will be on hand to thrill guests. Combine that with special appearances from some creepy (and amazing) creatures, and you’ve got a Halloween event that can’t be beat in the DMV.

Trucks will sell food to pair with craft beer and wine. There will be dancing, live-band karaoke and of course, that glorious costume competition, which is sponsored this year by the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
