I promptly shared this with my D.C. stressed colleagues and […]

March 27th, 2008 · 8 Comments

Welcome to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. John Deer Tractors, $300,000 steers, cowboy hats, angry bulls, signs such as the one above, and the worlds largest belt buckles, e-v-e-r, were just a few of the sights I took in this past weekend.

And I’m […]

Hear ye, hear ye, the bar tender(ess) with the mostest has resurfaced. Two months ago, I pulled up a chair at Penn Quarter’s beloved Rasika and promptly experienced one of the most disappointing cocktail hours of my life. Instead of receiving one of Gina Chersevani’s, their well known bartender, copyrighted masterpieces, a pear and vanilla […]

Green is so my color.

“Who cares that St. Patrick’s Day falls during the work week, and on a Monday no less? We’re celebrating anyway! So tip your hat to Ireland’s patron saint, ring in the day with beer, festivities, food, and, oh yeah, more beer at some of these area hotspots. And remember to offer the toast, ‘Erin go […]

DC. Like Only Residents See It.

March 11th, 2008 · Comments Off

Despite popular belief, there is more to D.C. than federal buildings, political sightings, and random violence. See it for yourself here, or go to the DCist Exposed Photography Show that is running March 7-15, 2008 at the Civilian Art Projects, which is located at 406 7th St. NW, 3rd Floor, in Washington, D.C.’s Penn Quarter.

“You’ve Got To See My Ice Cubes”

March 8th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Now there’s something you don’t hear everyday. But then Café 8 isn’t your everyday restaurant. It’s you’re any day restaurant.
