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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

It’s all DC’s fault, really.  DC takes normally caring individuals, fresh out of colleges where “see you in the dining hall” means just that, and turns them into flaky, busy-for-busyness’s-sake Metro lackeys. Too harsh?  Perhaps.  But imagine my dismay when I come home to one night of highly anticipated relaxation after many full evenings to find that…

Thank you for voting!  The results are in, the results of which are…a beautiful fall day today!  You are welcome. Fall can be beautiful (when it’s not too rainy, windy, cold or dry).  It can mean bonfires, hayrides, football games, maple syrup, and Daylight Savings.  But what it means most to me at this moment…

True story.  There were days, not far gone by, when people sat in the dark cave of consumerist DC, going to Happy Hours and gallery openings to get cheap drinks, knowing that going to a restaurant would surely cut severely into their budget, meaning less money to spend on children/shoes/overseas travel/gas/presents for friends. These were…
