That’s right. It’s movie season. This is the time of year in which I (and most of America) go to the movies a lot more than usual. It’s dark earlier, Oscar season is coming up, and…well, that’s about it. There are several movies I want to see soon. And I want you (yes, you!) to…

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.
The Happy Hour Chronicles: Toyland
Toyland is my place. I love coming here so much that it hurts. Brace yourself. One Monday, I really wanted to decompress (with the help of alcohol) after work in the bar’s funky yet chill atmosphere. Imagine my disappointment and consternation to find that Toyland is closed on Mondays! Monday is when people need drinks the…
On The Playground Is Where I Spend Most of My Days
Philly was wonderful. I think it’s good for me, a great DC advocate, to take a break, see what’s out there, then come back to what I’ve come to love. It’s healthy, I swear. So when I travel, you may remember, I keep in mind the four cardinal measures of a city: eye contact, culture,…
I Want To Be a Mistress of Whisky!
With all there is to do in DC, it’s amazing that two posts in a row will center on Little Miss Whiskey’s Golden Dollar. But them’s the facts, so prepare to be amazed! Little Miss Whiskey’s hosts free whiskey tastings on the last Tuesday of every month (this week was one early because of the…
You Gotta Know Where To Look
OMG, you guys! You will not believe what I found at the Little Miss Whiskey’s garage sale this Sunday! OK, maybe after seeing the picture at left you’ll have a pretty good idea. A bundt cake shaped like a castle! I never knew I wanted one! Thank goodness for Little Miss Whiskey’s, really. I would…
The Happy Hour Chronicles: Sidebar
I have been defending the right of DC residents to live, work and play over the border in Maryland for some time now. Discriminating based solely on location seems so petty. Yes, petty! If we want to explore new things, we must look in new places, yes? Yes! That is all I will say, but the next…
Free Food, But You Won’t Enjoy It
One of the joys and/or responsibilities of living in DC is that you are able/obliged to go to receptions. A reception may mean many things, especially if you are recently married or grew up going to a country club. In DC, a reception means free food. Food from chafing dishes. Food arranged with grapes or…
Creativity Run Amok at Solas Nua
In the vein of loving the Irish in the arts (see the Julie Feeney post), I want to tell you about Project Brand New at Solas Nua (9th and G, NW, just off the Chinatown Metro stop). Project Brand New is a mini-theater festival featuring three 40 minute plays in various stages of development. After…
Love of the Irish
I, once again, had a fabulous, wonderful time at The Pink Line Project‘s Salon Contra. For the benefit of the uninformed, a Salon Contra is reminiscent of the salons held in Paris during the reign of Louis the XV–lots of art and culture, people drinking wine and talking about culture–before all the beheadings began. In…
