As you may have heard by now, Argonaut on H Street had a pretty bad fire over the weekend. While the damage was mostly confined to the kitchen and bar area, it’s going to be a little while before it can re-open in its previous state. Because the kitchen is unusable, it [...]

Stephanie Williams, a medical student at GW, was crowned Miss District of Columbia 2010 last night at U Street’s Lincoln Theater. After a disappointing second place finish last year, Miss Williams came back to secure top honors with her Broadway singing and commitment to preventive care. The question on everyone’s mind however [...]

What a weekend! Despite the heat, the DC area celebrated the passing of spring into summer with all kinds of activities: dancing, World Cup, festivals, soapbox racing, music and more. Summer’s now on in full force, so if you’re looking to linger with spring, today’s flashback is [...]

Local running blogger Tom Jones from 528,000 Feet had a pretty nifty idea on how to both raise money and awareness around prostate cancer research. Jones, a Senate Staffer by day, is a long-distance runner and cycler, and like many who participate in long races and marathons, Jones has selected a charity to support [...]
NatGeo Opens Up Da Vinci’s Mind
If I say the name “Leonardo da Vinci,” what’s the first thing to pop into your mind? Most likely, thoughts of paintings such as the Mona Lisa or the Last Supper, or perhaps illustrations of his flying machine concepts. Maybe in some cases, the idea of a “Renaissance Man.” And you’d be right with all [...]
More »Nationals Struggle Despite Strasburg, Lose in 11

Stephen Strasburg’s second start saw the Nationals’ bats struggle to the point of embarassment against the White Sox’ Gavin Floyd, who faced the minimum through six innings. That feat came partially at the hands of some terrible running for the Nationals. They hit into two double plays, [...]
New Street Artist Wants to Punch You with Love
Over the past couple of years I’ve been keeping an eye on the local street art in my neighborhood, getting to know the artists, and matching their work to their name. I love seeing pieces by DECOY, DIABETIK, Gaia and of course Shepard Fairey, pop up overnight along 14th Street NW and the surrounding area. [...]

The general consensus of my friends and coworkers is that this week has been a long, hot, and sleep deprived week. And today’s US v. Slovenia result did nothing to help liven the mood. Perhaps, although it’s only June, we’ve already entered the dog days of summer?
In an [...]
We Love Pop Culture: The Blanks
Popular culture makes its way through the District usually on the back of a Bravo series or other cable favorites. Housewives, Top Chefs and Real Worlders, you have had more than your fair time to shine a light on DC in the most recent months. Those of us not of the reality type enjoy seeing [...]

Update: Citing the need for more brains, the Zombies have postponed to next weekend.
The undead wars are upon us, folks. “True Blood” brought vampires back to your teevee last week, and the latest “Twilight” mind-killer is scheduled to attack you on the theater front at the end of the [...]
We Love Music: Isis & The Melvins @ 9:30 Club 6/16/10

It all began as a simple tour announcement. ISIS playing with The Melvins at 9:30 Club on June 16th. For a few weeks, ISIS fans assumed that this would be an ISIS show with The Melvins as the opening act. Then it turned out that The Melvins were listed as the headliner and [...]
The Way We See It
The Way We See It, Brochure, 2010
Through their work, artists are able to convey and share their most personal thoughts and feelings with the public. And the photography exhibit The Way We See It is the perfect example of young photographers doing just so.
The non-profit AED’s Idea: Exchange is a new effort dedicated solely to [...]
