Art + Athletes = Everybody Wins
This Wednesday night you can start the new year off doing good for others by attending a benefit for Bread for the City at one of our favorite galleries here at We Love DC – Morton Fine Art. Amy Morton calls the evening a mixture of “art and good people from the neighborhood,” a night of [...]

Get Every Last Drop by Dan Dan The Binary Man
A new year is upon us, DC, and some of us couldn’t be more relieved that 2010 is dead and buried. Whether you believe in making New Year’s resolutions or not, this is a good time to reflect on the past year, take stock of your [...]

So, about that Christmas tree

Yes, today was the first day that you could dispose of your Christmas tree, but if you didn’t get all the decorations off yesterday after a Winter Classic hangover that had you asleep on the couch, don’t fret, you’ve still got time. Trees need to be stripped of all their ornaments [...]
Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and World Fair Use Day
Das Racist, originators of the above song, will be appearing at World’s Fair Use Day. I share this with you with some reluctance, because my darling wife hates that song so much – almost as much as I love it – that I fear she’ll drive over to the Washington Post conference center next Thursday [...]
More »Road to the Winter Classic (Part II)
The 2011 Winter Classic has come and gone, showcasing the best of the league in one very unique experience.
And what an experience it was.
As I’d mentioned in Part I, I was in quite a state before the game. A mix of both my fanboyism for my beloved Penguins and my more observational respect for the [...]

She Loves DC: Rachel Machacek
I met Rachel a while back at a media preview at a local restaurant. At this point, many moons later, I don’t even remember which one, but we became fast friends and I began my raging obsession with this wonderful woman. Rachel writes about restaurants for Washington Flyer, but as we got to know each [...]

The Giants needed a win over the Redskins and a Packers loss to make the playoffs. They got the win but so did Green Bay. At least New York will be watching the post-season just like the Skins who had plenty of chances but also 4 turnovers in [...]

At 85, Frank Kameny has solidified his place in history as a leading figure in the country’s gay rights movement. When he was fired from the Army Map Service in 1957 because of his homosexuality, he became the first American to bring a civil rights case based on sexual orientation to court. [...]

Happy New Year by M.V. Jantzen
Good morning and welcome to 2011 on We Love DC. I’m sorry this is a little late, between iPhone alarm problems and just plain wanting to stay in bed a little longer this morning, we’re just getting this moving now. It was an amazing weekend, one full of year-endings and [...]

Caps Overcome Rain, Penguins in Winter Classic
In a Winter Classic between the NHL’s top two greatest players, neither had a hand in the game that unfolded before the 68,111 people at Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field or the national audience viewing on NBC. The Capitals, who grabbed two points in a tight Eastern Conference race with a 3-1 win, saw Eric Fehr and [...]

One good thing to say about the Wizards is that they are competitive.
Well, for stretches.
They hung with the high-flying Heat a couple weeks ago before blowing it at the end. They gave the Bulls a good game a couple of days later prompting Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau to praise the young [...]
