I know, it’s still only mid-January and it’s a little early to be thinking about Valentine’s Day, but if you are someone who would consider learning exotic dance as a gift for your mate, you probably want to get started so you can practice. Born2Dance Studio in Vienna is offering workshops [...]

Nestled an approximate 90 minute, northwesterly drive from DC, Catoctin Mountain Park located just outside of Thurmont, MD, is a great spot for a day trip or the perfect location for a weekend getaway from the district’s hubbub.
I’ve long had Catoctin on my radar since moving the DC, in fact visiting [...]

Before Washington got the Nationals, our boys in red were shagging flies and blasting runs as the FIRST Major League Baseball club to play outside of the states. The Montreal Expos, who started as a National League expansion team in 1969, changed their Canadian mailing address and club name on [...]

Rob “Deuce Bigalow” Schneider will be appearing at the DC Improv June 11-13. In my world, this is secret code for “go watch local comedy instead that week.”

If you’ve got any affection for Kathy Griffin’s schtick then today’s your day – she’ll be at the K street Borders in NW at 6:30 tonight singing her book. Personally I find her kind of amusing, but I’m boycotting any endorsement of her until I can hear about her [...]

Tom: I’m back in class once again, so I have a feeling that this weekend will be all about reading books and writing responses. I do know, however, that Saturday night I’ve been invited by Chevy to go test drive a Volt over at RFK Stadium, so tune in on [...]
