We Love Drinks: On the Town With Dale DeGroff
All photos by the author
Monday I attended a talk by noted (some might say legendary, and they might not be wrong) bartender Dale DeGroff. Arranged by and benefitting the Museum of the American Cocktail (also behind the Hotel Cocktail seminar Jenn attended), the talk had the simple title On the Town with Dale DeGroff and [...]
We Love Madness: The Running of the Brides Part 1
All photos by Don Feduardo
The following is a guest entry by the Social Chair, who is far more qualified than I am to discuss this particular subject matter.
At the end of February, Fedward asked me to marry him and become Social Chair For Life. Within five minutes of my saying yes, we agreed that we [...]
Comedy. Tsunami relief. Underwear?

The comics who regularly appear at the Eleventh Street Lounge open mic night in Clarendon (from this point known collectively as “the Lizards”) are having another comedy-for-relief event tonight. This time, it’s for tsunami relief in Japan, and the gimmick is that all the 10+ comics will be performing in [...]
This Week in Food
So it’s been quite a lackluster week in food. Ha!
Congratulations
As everyone knows by now (but I will repeat anyway), DC took home two James Beard Foundation Awards this week. You can call them the Academy Awards of food.
The ubiquitous Chef José Andrés won for Outstanding Chef and The Washington Post’s Tim Carman (previously with the City Paper) won for [...]

Addison: Friday, I am heading to one of my all time favorite spring events: the Mount Vernon Spring Wine Festival and Sunset Tour. In an effort to channel my inner NASCAR driver, some buddies and I are heading out to WV’s Summit Point Kart for a few laps. Saturday night, [...]
First Look: Watershed
You have to admire people who take a risk. Opening up a brand new restaurant in a brand new hotel in a growing neighborhood is exactly that. However, if successful, you’ll not only reap the rewards, you also might be part of the force that helped reinvent a neighborhood. In this case, it looks like [...]

Welcome to the sweet spot of the baseball season in Washington, when the weather is perfect, the team is playing good cohesive ball, and there are enough deals and giveaways to make a night at the ballpark sound absolutely redeeming. The Nats come home this Friday night for a short but sweet [...]
WMATA rejoins 21st Century, adds data to Google Maps
To quote my boy Andy Samberg, “Google Maps is the best, true that, double true!“
Finally, you can use Google Maps, on your mobile devices or your computers, to navigate the wilds of WMATA transportation. WMATA flipped the switch this afternoon shortly after they announced a media availability with Google after their board of directors tomorrow. [...]

If you’re a science fiction nerd aficionado like me and a fan of getting autographs & rubbing elbows with the pixel-stained wretches then your nerdvana is almost upon you – a crazy large list of SF authors are going to be in town for a conference and they’re going to [...]
We knew testifying in front of congress was a dirty job
We just didn’t expect Mike Rowe to show up there. But he did just a short while ago and will be one of the folks testifying at the hearing on Manufacturing Our Way to a Stronger Economy. You can watch the live stream here, but don’t dawdle – he’s one of only 3 folks speaking [...]

Disclosure: In the following rant, I speak for myself. I have no clue what the rest of the WLDC team has to say on this matter and if they agree with me.
In case you missed it yesterday (it was nearly impossible), the Wizards unveiled new jerseys for the 2011-2012 season, and as we’ve [...]

More »We Love Arts: The Green Bird
With Carlo Gozzi’s The Green Bird, Constellation Theatre has found the perfect medium for their hyper-surrealist style in a play inspired by commedia dell’arte. It’s like a wild Ferrari driven by Max Ernst through a Brothers Grimm forest. Every piece – acting, design, script – is completely committed to the creation of a madcap fairy [...]

Wizards Dial Back The Clock With New Retro-Inspired Uniforms
Sure Jordan Crawford and John Wall don’t look very excited in this photo, I’m sure they would rather be in the middle of an exciting NBA Playoffs that’s in full swing right now. However I am personally excited for what they are wearing- the new uniforms of the Washington Wizards.
At an unveiling this morning Wizard’s [...]
