In with the In Crowd
A couple of weeks ago, I went to an advance screening of Garden State. I was raving about it the next day and a friend said, “Tiff, how do you find all this cool stuff to do?” Really, it’s not that I’m cool. In fact, I’m sort of lame. I just [...]
More »Amateur Photo Shoots? Yeesh….
DC is a very photogenic city. Shortly after I moved here, I splurged on a digital camera and decided to play tourist. Digital cameras are have done a great thing by increasing the amount of photography, as well as by making it easier for amateur photographers to experiment. This has the natural [...]
More »Metro Cops Packing Heat?
This morning, as per my morning routine, I ended up at the Pentagon Metro station and I saw something a bit unexpected. Usually, it’s not uncommon above ground to see police walking around carrying submachine guns with ammo bags, but in the metro station itself, I found it odd to suddenly see someone walking [...]
More »“Free” Parking, TMBG, Boulevard and Saturday Night Out
Tonight I had a chance to go out to Live On Penn to catch They Might Be Giants and Fountains of Wayne with a few friends. The concert was great, but a few thoughts for the people who are running the show down at Live on Penn:

Better yet, instead of accepting cash for parking until the crisis is over, they’re [...]
Movies Outside
Tonight marks the second installment of the Movies in Shirlington, with Seabiscuit going live on the screen along about 8:30 tonight. C’mon down to Shirlington for some Prohibition Porter, some awesome Indian food, some incredible Tapas, and stay for the free movie. They’re doing a Lord of the Rings flick next Thursday [...]
More »Paranoia Runs Rampant? Pshaw.
My friend Nelson recently talked about how DC lives in some sort of paranoiac state, all due to an Op-Ed in the San Francisco Chronicle. Couldn’t be a bigger load of crap. I mean, heck, the author got three quarters of his facts wrong!
I love living here in the DC Area. I love [...]
How about that local sports team?
My favorite DC spectator sport isn’t hockey, or football, or soccer. Oh no, my favorite sport to watch in DC is altogether different.
I love watching the cops pull trucks and buses over on Route 110 next to the Pentagon.
Route 110 toward Alexandria goes within spitting distance of the Pentagon. Seriously, from the passenger [...]
