When it’s Spring Break, it’s time for the tourists to swarm upon our Nation’s Capital. Though the Metro is pretty quiet during the morning commute, once it’s 9:30 out comes the families, the sight-seers, the day trippers. It can be annoying as a local yokel (hey folks, stand on the right side of the escalator,… Continue Reading How to Be a Stylish Tourist

Last night I went to see Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears at the Black Cat in DC. I hadn’t seen this group perform live before, but everyone I knew who had said it was one of the best shows they had ever seen. Everyone I knew was right. This show was amazing. My friends… Continue Reading Concert Review: Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears
I don’t often post about my weekend because it’s often pretty boring. If you follow me on Twitter you’ll see I sometimes Tweet what I am wearing, and it often includes “vintage jeans” (worn-out Gap Essential Jeans that got too short so I took a seam ripper to the hem) and striped tees (not shocking… Continue Reading My Weekend Mar 22, 2011
