Despite chilly temperatures, spring has sprung in our lovely Capitol City. The trees, and not just the cherry trees, are abloom; DC denizens are fully emerging from their winter comas; runners, outdoor enthusiasts and sports teams seem to taken up every nook and cranny of green space or path. [...]

The calendar may have told us that the end of winter was March 20th, but the official end to winter in my eyes is the return of Oberon to area taps. The delightful wheat beer that represents warm days listening to baseball on the radio is set to arrive on taps at [...]
We Love Arts: Blue Man Group at Warner Theatre
Don’t let the blue body paint and vow of silence deter you from the Blue Man Group’s mission. There’s more to the chaotic and childish stage show than one might think. In actuality, Blue Man Group’s intentions are anthropological in nature.
When entering Warner Theatre for opening night of the Blue Man Group’s touring show on [...]

I don’t know what it is about coffee shops catching my attention lately, especially because I don’t drink what they sell unless it tastes more like a chocolate milkshake than coffee. It must be because they are using Twitter like pros!
Pound Coffee, The Hill has been tweeting away for about [...]

Man, am I a big fan of gnocchi. It’s easy enough to make. It combines pasta and potatoes, the two powerhouses of starchiness. What’s not to love? So since it’s unpleasantly cold this weekend, make a nice, warm bowl of this gnocchi, courtesy of Teddy Diggs, [...]

I may not understand marathon runners, but I absolutely admire them. As a middle- and long-distance swimmer in high school and college I know what it is to move and move and move and move, granted I never had a course such as this [...]
Hot Ticket: Glassjaw @ Ram’s Head Live, 3/27/11
Glassjaw. Have you heard of this band? If so, you probably haven’t thought much about them in the last eight years, which is how long I’ve been waiting for them to release new material since their album Worship and Tribute. Their singer Daryl Palumbo has been off playing with various side projects, such as electro-pop [...]

[Update, 11:30a: DCRA has re-checked their records, and the site had all the required permits, and passed several inspections during the process. This appears to have just been a tragic accident, not a permitting process gone awry. OSHA has been brought in to investigate the incident. According to DCRA's Gil, the trench [...]

If you don’t know Holy Ghost! by name yet, there is a good chance that you’d know one of their many remixes if you heard it on the dance floor. Alex Frankel and Nick Millhiser have been best buds for twenty years, going all the way back to the 2nd grade (talk [...]
Road Work, Oh Joy
Spotted along Rock Creek Parkway at Virginia Ave NW in Foggy Bottom, this electronic sign warns of impending Constitution Ave. road work, adding “OH JOY” to the projected start date of April 11th. Is this a hacker at work, or just a sarcastic DDOT/NPS electronic road sign copywriter? Either way, it was funny.
Update: No [...]

At some point in our lives, most of us have had a moment where we stare at the television screen and say to ourselves, “That’s what I want to do with my life.” For some it’s fantasy but for others, like Teddy Diggs, it actually becomes reality.
Diggs, the executive chef of Ripple, grew [...]
What YouTube Tells Us About Jordan Crawford

I’ll admit that I didn’t stay up for all of the Wizard’s 119-127 double overtime loss to the Clippers last night. Those West Coast games are killer on a work night.
However I didn’t need to see the entire game to see the unfolding story of Jordan Crawford. By the time I [...]
