If you were at Whitlows right now, you could be bidding on Wayan. Well, not right this second, but the bidding is about to begin. If my darling girlfriend is much later I might just bid on Christina here… Nice eh?

No Beer Here
Special to Metroblogging DC from contributor Mik
I went to The Arlington Cinema and Draft House last Wednesday evening for their Wine Night at the Movies. This was my first visit to the Draft House, and although in an easy enough to find location, parking was a pain. Employees of the Draft House [...]
Must be art; I don’t understand a damned word of it
If you’re not of a mind to come see Wayan pimp himself for charity, the Washington Projects for the Arts in conjunction with the Corcoran Galllery is having the second of three Experimental Media Series events this evening. I can’t tell you if it’ll be any good but it certainly seems to [...]
More »A New Happy Hour Option
Happy Hour
While it doesn’t have outdoor seating and so therefore isn’t on the Definitive Patio Bar list, I noticed a great new DC Happy Hour addition today – Chef Geoff’s.
Usually thought of as a swanky lunch or dinner spot, their happy hour specials rank right up there with Fox and Hounds [...]

C’mon McDonalds – With the DC city council on a rampage about drug paraphernalia is this any time to encourage the ravers?

A little Dublin mudslide goes a long way
Special to Metblogs from contributor Mik
For those of you who don’t already know, it’s Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s. What’s better than taking a little time out of your day, standing in the sunshine, chatting to coworkers, donating money to a good cause whilst waiting for a free ice cream cone? Nothing [...]
More »Homeless Making More Homeless
The end result
DC is special in many ways, and one I’d like to say is related to our non-State status is the eviction process.
In most states, evivictions are handled by the county sheriff’s office. In DC, a U.S. Marshal is present to enforce the eviction, but landlords are [...]
I don’t think that sticker worked.

You Know It’s Bad on The Hill When…
…they won’t even play softball together. Seriously, the Republicans aren’t playing softball with the Democrats anymore after a dispute over the playoff format for the summer softball league. I am literally without words. So much of this town is becoming charged with the rancor between the parties that there seem to be [...]
More »Beerlympics?
Mark your calendars, drunkards, as DC’s Beerlympics is right around the corner. This year’s event sponsored by NAKID is going to take place on May 13th at a bar to be named later. Of course, you could just save yourself the hangover by chugging ipecac…but that’s not nearly as much fun as [...]
More »The dangers of outdoor markets
It’s hard to believe that a day that ended so beautifully started out so disgusting, but it did. This is Eastern Market yesterday at noon when we were in the middle of our Seattle impression. Luckily most of us had tents up, though dead in the middle you can see where woodturner [...]
More »15th @ K = Steel Plates
Steel flying in
If you’re hoping for smooth right turn off K Street eastbound onto 15th Street southbound this afternoon, good luck to ya.
The fiber optic cable layers are slowly rebuilding the street and to protect their newly poured concrete, will be laying big steel plates on the street right in front [...]
More socially conscious than you
This might explain why some people feel such a need to have an SUV to navigate the bumpy wilds of their development community – more room for ribbon magnets.

Pick a Landmark
Hasbro is retooling the classic board game Monopoly to add landmarks from various US cities, including Washington. They’re allowing folks to vote on three choices from the District: The Washington Monument, The Lincoln Memorial and The White House. Reducing any one city to a single location seems to me to be a fairly [...]
More »Babes for Boobs – Wednesday!
Have you ever seen people sold for charity? Do you know if it’s legal? I’m not really sure, but I do know I am for sale!
See, 20 talented, smart, charming Babes will be up for auction to the highest bidder this Wednesday to raise money for breast cancer research. So if you have a [...]
Kickball is here!
Summer. How do you know that’s arrived in DC? Maybe tourist hordes? Or what about sticky, sweaty hot? Hmm… No, I think the best way to say when summer starts in DC is to look on the Mall.
If you find kickball on the National Mall, it is summer alright. [...]
Tax Hikes and Cuts in Arlington, Fairfax
Well, Arlington County has finally gotten around to looking at the real estate tax for 2006, and their choice to decrease the rate by $0.06 per $100 to 81.8¢. Last year, my tax bill was $2,370.60, roughly, and with my new assessment and the new rate, I’ll be paying a whopping $2,854.82. Thanks [...]
More »From Wonkette to Washington Post?
After appearing on the Post’s Saturday Morning Radio Show, former Wonkette Ana Marie Cox has an editorial in today’s Op-Ed section of the Post. Is Cox parlaying her career as a blogger to a job at the new Washington Post? It does certainly make me wonder…
Either way, good to see Ms. Cox getting [...]
More »Green on Eye Street
Check out the Americorps progress!
On Eye Street between 14th and 15th, they’ve added new trees to the sidewalk mix. Aww.. how nice! They even supplied the water bags that allow you to water a tree over hours, slowly.
Now if only our building management can remember to water the trees, [...]
