Say It Ain’t So-Whoa-Whoa
Weezer’s 1995 hit “Say It Ain’t So” endures because it works out daddy issues and
allows for sweet air-guitar solos. The band that helped define the alt-rock sound of
the ’90s is joining forces with another of the decade’s biggies: Microsoft. Show up for
the grand opening of the Pentagon City Microsoft Store today and get a complimentary
wristband for a Weezer show (passes only) to be held at the Warner Theatre on
Saturday at 2 p.m. The Fashion Centre at Pentagon City, 1100 S. Hayes St., Arlington;
Thu., 10 a.m.; 703-416-7070, Facebook.com/microsoftstore. (Pentagon City)

To the River

the river at Shenandoah Riverfest this
weekend. There will be ample opportunities
to get soaked, including free
canoe and tube trips and fly-fishing
demonstrations. No one should wear
his or her best outfit, is what we’re
saying, unless it’s under a wet suit,
James Bond-style. Shenandoah

for a do-over this year, with
three stages of music.

headlines the main stage,
preceded by local rootsrocker

Philadelphia’s G. Love &

rockers Robert Randolph
and the Family Band.
