When the Boy and I took H out to her very first weeknight theater experience in DC, we decided we wanted to do the whole shebang, which for us includes dinner beforehand. The main problem with doing that and going to the Folger is that the Library itself is properly on Capitol Hill…and the surrounding […]

Sports – MLB Postseason
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Not only because it’s finally cool enough out that I can wear tights with my dresses, but it’s time for baseball playoffs. And for the third time in five seasons, my beloved Nationals will be there. So let’s go back in time and remember what happened. The […]
Event – Matt Braunger at Drafthouse Comedy
I have such good friends. My friend B texted me early last week saying that his wife and child would be out of town on the weekend, and would I want to hang out. I took 10 seconds to check my calendar (clear!) and responded immediately, “YES”. Plans TBD. I had no ideas on what […]
Event – Snallygaster
I think I’ve mentioned before that I love beer. I’m a sucker for a craft beer, and especially sour beers, which have been popular for the last year or so, but I loved them before, because I’m a sour beer hipster who loves a mouth-puckering brew. Unfortunately, most breweries still churn out a lot of […]
Event – Maryland Renaissance Festival
Last week, the Boy and I were sitting on the couch, reviewing my calendar for what would be happening that upcoming weekend. He likes our weekends to be as chill as possible, so when he saw “Maryland Renaissance Festival” on the schedule, he was confused. “Why is that there?” he asked. “Oh, it’s just a […]
Theater – Cirque du Soleil “Kurios”
Somehow, I’ve never been to a Cirque du Soleil show. Which seems ridiculous. I’m reading their wikipedia entry right now, and they’ve been around since 1984, and have been in the public spotlight since the early 1990s when they were finally profitable. 5% of all visitors to Vegas see one of their shows every night. […]
Theater – John Oliver
There are two things that make humans different from other animals (ok, maybe more than two things, but go with me on this), and they are the ability to look at our own actions critically, and actual senses of humor. And since today I’m talking about my favorite British comedian, perhaps I should change a […]
Events – First Thursdays Del Ray
When you live in an adorable and walkable little neighborhood like I do, there is stuff going on all the time. And during the spring and summer months, the Del Ray Business Association hosts a series of outdoor festivals along the main drag of Mt Vernon Avenue on the first Thursday of every month. It’s called – […]
Event – Drink the District: Red White and Brew Beer & Wine Festival
Have I mentioned before that I like beer? Because I do. And I’m rarely one to turn down a good beer festival. So when my brother Ben found tickets for a big one locally on discount through Living Social called “Red White and Brew Beer & Wine Festival”, we hopped on it. I’d done a […]
Event – Taste of Del Ray
This past weekend was so tentative with the weather. Both Saturday and Sunday were supposed to be nasty, with rain forecast for the entire weekend, with particularly bad storms for Sunday. Somehow, we managed to avoid all that, and I got to have a nice outdoor day with my friend J on Saturday, we hosted […]
