One of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had singing the National Anthem came at the Nats Tryouts in 2008. It’s time to tryout again and the Nats are offering 75 tryout slots to the average Joe and Jane musicians of DC. So if you’ve got an awesome rendition [...]

I’ve talked a very big game all week when it comes to curling. Inspired by the perfect combination of Norwegian pants, live broadcasts online and the sheer novelty of the sport, I have tried to throw all of my perceived curling expertise around whenever I got a chance. I’ve made [...]

As you read this, Olympic hockey has begun for the 2010 games in Vancouver. So what does it have to do with DC?

So did you see the big game on NBC yesterday?
You heard me right.
Yesterday’s big game wasn’t played in Miami, aired on CBS, filled with cheesy, stupid commercials. It was right here in DC, in the heart of snowmageddon. It was the Pittsburgh Penguins against the Washington [...]
Ovechkin Racks up 500th Point
Alex Ovechkin is really, really good at Hockey. He’s probably the best skating the ice in the NHL right now, and very possibly the world. Check out his 500th point, scored last night in the waning seconds of the 2nd period at MSG. Ovi flicks the puck, one hand on his [...]

Imagine a quiet Sunday morning. The city is silent from the few inches of snow that stuck to the ground yesterday. Most everyone’s either still asleep or in the comfort of their own homes trying to keep warm. It’s the last day of the first month of 2010. So, you choose to lounge around. Huge [...]
