Due to a minor schedule mix-up, I missed the play I meant to see at the Flashpoint Media Lab, Separated At Birth, by Dog and Pony DC. I was bummed since no one loves clowns (at a distance) like I do. But happily, I was in the neighborhood and walked over to the Chinatown megaplex…

Scott Pilgrim: Everyman
Today I watched Scott Pilgrim versus The World. Since I paid $11 for admission, I will be reviewing the snot out of it. Stay tuned.
Oh, are you from out of town?
Living in DC means many things, but one is for certain — tourists. They come and go, and they will always come and go, so why get upset when they get in the freaking way? They are grown adults (for the most part) and they know what they can do to not be irritating and…

Bad News…
Bad news, DC. Seattle is just bitchin’. I mean, this place is the best! I touched down this morning and realized that I forgotten about the beautiful mountains off to the east. On a clear day like today, the mountains and the faint remainder of snow are clearly outlined behind the Space Needle. Sigh ….

In an effort to bring you an ever better blog, your intrepid author will be making the trip to the Pacific Northwest to explore that city’s style. Now I don’t want you DCists to feel intimidated. Sure, Seattle has the ocean. And the Space Needle. And a reputation for good food and good living. And…
