Fall Break -- Washington, D.C.

If you're heading up north to the nation's capital for the long weekend, make sure you head to Politics and Prose in Northwest D.C., where Friday at 7 p.m. Chris Matthews of "Hardball" fame will read from his new book "Life's a Campaign." If a concert is more of what you're looking for,Stroke 9 will give a free performance at Borders in Tyson's Corner at noon. The performance is in support of their new album "Last of the International Playboys."
