Time Out: Yoga for Foodies
When you go to an event called “Yoga for Foodies,” it’s hard to know just what to expect. Is someone going to pop a chocolate-dipped strawberry in your mouth as you strike a triangle pose? Is it going to be pretentious? And most of all, are you going to have to sit in a fancy [...]

I know this is a DC site and all, but the news that John McIntyre has returned to the Baltimore Sun as copyeditor and blogger has made me so happy I just had to call attention to it. Every publication needs an editor with a dry wit and aversion to hyperbole and cliché. [...]
We Love Arts: The Ramayana
Which would you rather be – a god, a demon, or a monkey? In Constellation Theatre Company’s production of Indian epic The Ramayana, the answer is definitely a monkey.
