Wisdom takes first place as my you-have-to-go-to-this-bar bar. That is why I will run a post for each cocktail I think you may enjoy there. Each one is completely different and different people will have their own favorites (after all, you’re a beautiful, unique snowflake, aren’t you?). Hopefully, you’ll be intrigued enough to visit and try on…

It's not New York or San Francisco, but DC has some surprising cultural moments to be discovered. And I'm going to tell you about them. Special attention to free, super cool, or just plain strange events.

Cherryblast from the Past: Weekend Wrapup
Cherryblast, the annual closing party of the Cherry Blossom Festival, sponsored lovingly by Philippa Hughes and her Pink Line Project, was, unsurprisingly, a blast this past weekend in Anacostia. The art, the games, the shows, the people were all part of a new and exploratory DC. There were the usual suspects: aerial trapeze artists, a…

From gospel to folk to dance,…
Ms. Vedral Goes to Washington: Glasses Off, Lights Out, Song 1
Author’s note: I’m about to mix up some metaphors here. In previous posts, I’ve referred to DC as a nerdy guy and also as the girl next door. Since I’m assuming you’re reading this at work because someone posted it as their g-chat status, I’ll refrain from getting into a discussion about the social constructs…
Lumen8 Anacostia Recap
Hosted in the former DC Police Evidence Warehouse in Anacostia, the Lumen8 Anacostia opening party ran all day Saturday (literally, noon to midnight). If you missed the party, check back again this Saturday for Cherry Blast, the fourth annual celebration from The Pink Line Project and DC Arts Who’s Who Philippa Hughes. Nothing puts me…
