This is Our DC reports that they, as well as some folks from OccupyDC, are camped out in Senator McConnell’s office looking to petition him on the Rebuild America Act. They’re for it and identify it as something that would bring almost 400 million in infrastructure spending to the area.
Whether you’re on their side [...]

Moses: Friday night group dinner at Cedar for some prodigal DCers coming back to the big city from Kansas. Will enjoy some cocktails, but not too too many, since I’m shooting skeet (not skeeters) for the first time in my life Saturday at Prince George’s Trap & Skeet. [...]

We praised The Agony and Esctacy of Steve Jobs when it played at Woolly Mammoth – Patrick saw it in March and l saw a preview when it was in development late last year. We were both fond of it.

The Shakespeare Theatre Company’s production of The Heir Apparent is quiet and subdued for about as many seconds as you can count on your two hands. Then Crispin (Carson Elrod) comes clamoring in [...]
We Love Arts: Stop Kiss
No Rules Theater Company’s Stop Kiss tells the story of reluctant Callie and bold Sara as they meet and change each other’s lives in late-90s New York.

I’m gonna just let you recover from the mental discord that reading that headline will give you. Maybe it’ll help if you muse on the old saying that even a broken clock is right twice a day, though in the modern digital age it’s more like a broken clock is still useful as [...]

Well, we made it past the soggies. Mostly. Capital Weather Gang says we’ll still get sprinkles and clouds through the weekend but after about 12 inches of rain this level of sprinkle seems like a cool and sunny breeze.
Okay, not really. But I’m trying here, people. So what do we [...]
Stuck at home?
If you and the kids are stuck at home maybe some of these toys will work well for you. Eligible for Amazon Prime so you can have it by tomorrow (if UPS has a boat in your neighborhood) – the Fisher-Price Little People Noah’s Ark is just barely over $20. Or if you have wooden [...]

Who’s got the saw? And how many feet in a cubit anyway?
Well it looks like the internal domain name the We Love DC team uses to communicate amongst themselves should have been sandbagged – it floated away in the night and our ability to coordinate anything along with it. [...]

Mosley: Fun filled weekend for me! One of my photographs (above) was selected as a semi-finalists for the DC State Fair Photo Contest. I could win a blue ribbon. A ribbon! And it could be blue! Tough competition though, so keep your fingers crossed for me. And since I’m going to be waiting [...]

Andy Kaufman would have loved Reggie Watts.
Be careful how you take that bit of praise. If you’re of my generation and largely remember Kaufman solely as loveable goofball Latka on TAXI you’re not getting the right picture. Watts’ stage performance is reminiscent of Kaufman – a wandering path that [...]
