Fringe tickets went on sale this morning and Tom and I both commented to each other that we wanted to mention it but our loathing of the mandatory button was so great that we both had refrained thus far.
So I decided that I would put up one authoritative Fringe button hate post [...]

SILVERDOCS, the documentary film festival in Silver Spring, MD, ended last weekend with lines around the block for The Nine Lives of Marion Barry. Even though that one had special local appeal, it wasn’t one of the award winners at this year’s festival. A couple of highlights of the winning films are [...]

The Real World watch has officially begun. Word on the street was that filming was supposed to begin this weekend, but it looks like that the actual date may be a bit later. I swung by the RW house on Saturday to try to catch a glimpse of the incoming cast, but found [...]
Is Homeless the New Sexy?
Homeless in Sugamo 2

It’s a slow day here in Georgetown, what with it being early still and thus nobody making too much of a fuss over me being the only guy in the neighborhood without one of those shitty men’s scarves all the pseudo-hip guys seem to be wearing nowadays. Being a bit bored, [...]

Obama hit the Del Ray creamery (well, custard-er-ry, or whatever you call it) Dairy Godmother this afternoon. Good thing I snuck in last weekend for the Bordeaux Cherry, ’cause after seeing what happened to Ray’s Hell Burgers, lord knows Dairy Godmother will be a packed house for the rest of [...]

Dining out, especially in a city like DC, can be a daunting task. More so when you’re trying to impress someone, like maybe someone you’re trying to get your kiss on with. Or maybe you’ve nailed down the right person for you, and you’re just looking for some creative food to [...]

Nothing says summertime like… bagpipes? Okay, sure, Folger Library, we’re willing to take you at your word. Tonight at 7 p.m., the Shakespeare Library presents a free bagpipe concert in its Elizabethan Garden featuring musical talent Piobaireachd.

Washington Post’s The Checkup blog is reporting that Nestle is recalling all of its refrigerated Toll House Cookie dough because of potential e coli contamination.

In case you haven’t noticed, gas prices continue to rise. Which means commuting costs are going up again for those who choose (or have no choice) to drive to work each day.
Which of course, leads to Beltway congestion. And then the inevitable “who’s got [...]

Good Friday Morning, Washington! How are you out there? Is that, actual, like, sun? WHAT? Here I was thinking we had turned into the Amazon. I had bought a mosquito net and everything. But just in time for a *hopefully* sunny weekend, here’s all the news fit [...]
