Five Things You Need to Know Today: Sept. 2

The weekend has arrived!

  1. Sunset Cinema in the Park at the Falls Church Community Center will feature “How to Train your Dragon” at 8 p.m.
  2. The SUPER Bob album release show kicks off at the State Theatre at 9 p.m. SUPER bob is a four-piece high-energy rock band based in the Washington DC area. Tattoos, colored hair, dread locks, and plenty of good old-fashioned rock n roll grit distinguishes them from the masses.
  3. On this day in 1963, Alabama Governor George C. Wallace prevents integration of Tuskegee High School.
  4. On this day in 2010, BP claimed if the ban on offshore drilling permits continued, it may not be able to pay compensation for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
  5. If today is your birthday, you share it with actor Keanu Reeves (47-years-old) and tennis great Jimmy Connors (59-years-old). Happy birthday!
