Jammin’ Java: More Than Meets The Eye
I’ve wanted to check out Jammin’ Java for years and last night, the dream was realized. This particular adventure was prompted by both my lack of anything better to do and the fact that there was a battle of the bands being hosted. So I figured, why not go?
My first thought upon reaching the Jammin’ [...]

Update 2:00 p.m.: We put in a call to our WMATA contact, Ron Holzer, who indeed confirmed that Catoe has tendered his resignation to WMATA’s Board. Apparently, the announcement took everyone by surprise, as no one at WMATA had in inkling this was coming. Needless to say, neither did any [...]

I was a nerdy kid. So nerdy, in fact, that my idea of a totally awesome job was to be Mark Russell, piano-playing political satirist, with a show on PBS. Never you mind that I don’t play piano at all. (What can I say? I loved Tom Lehrer too.)
I may never [...]

Jenn: It’s [...]

[Editorial update: We had no idea Catoe would tender his resignation today. And apparently, neither did anyone else at the meeting, except for Mr. Catoe.]
Wednesday afternoon at Metro HQ, we had a chance to sit down with the General Manager, John Catoe, along with ten of our closest blogfriends here [...]

Oooh, a foodie two-fer. Just ’cause I love you.
1) There’s a new pizza truck in town, ya’ll, launching in February. And it’s name is DC Slices. Much like Sauca, Curbside Cupcake and the bajillion food carts, DC Slices is just as it sounds – a truck drivin’ round and giving [...]
