As with every other metropolitan endeavor you find in this great city of ours, this Tumblr seeks to emulate New York. But let's face it, our Metro has escalators so BOOM. Take that NYC.
Meetups, invites to Shakespeare parties, flip cup tournament announcements, requests for kickball team members, rants about DC's lack of representation in Congress, and other such items can be posted here.

D.C.’s Food Trucks Learned to Love Lobbying - Young & Hungry
Posted by Jessica Sidman on Nov. 14, 2012 at 7:41 pm, washingtoncitypaper.comIt’s Farragut Friday, and a dozen food trucks are buzzingwith office workers on their lunch breaks.
But instead of feeding customers, TaKorean’s Mike Lenard and DC Slice’s Tom MacDonald stand in the middle …
the Corcoran is currently in THIRD place for both the most dollars raised AND the most donors. if they finish in the top four when the contest ends at midnight, ArtReach wins more money—up to $50,000!
so every gift counts. donate as little as $10 before midnight, and help support the Corcoran’s award-winning youth arts education outreach program in its 20th year. THREE MORE HOURS!
today the Corcoran is participating in Give to the Max—a ONE DAY fundraising competition for DC area nonprofits.
the funds raised will support ArtReach, the Corcoran’s award-winning community outreach program celebrating its 20th year, that provides high-quality arts education to youth in underserved DC communities. this video, and the three ArtReach students in it, can tell you more than I can (and better than I can!), so take a look.
if the Corcoran gets the MOST donors by midnight tonight, we can win some awesome additional cash prizes for ArtReach, so your support is so appreciated. the minimum donation is just $10, and literally every gift makes a difference!
please click HERE to donate, and THANK YOU! [and a reblog or two wouldn’t hurt!]
REMINDER: Tonight is YOUR CHANCE to rub elbows with the tumbling elite, DC’s own DAS MOTORBUDDY, Baltimore’s own Web Connoisseur YOUNGMANHATTANITE, and Delaware’s own VILLAGE VOICE CONTRIBUTOR, at DC CHINATOWN MEATPUP A/K/A THE ANTI-OBLITERATI. We’ll be meeting at 7pm under the arch on the south side by the Metro entrance so we can snap a picture of Krucoff steadfastly refusing fliers while being shouted at via megaphone, then going to NEW BIG WONG or one of those. (But not LI HO FOOD, it’s FALSE.) If you’re in DC tonight you are invited, what else are you gonna do, see Wild Flag? GWAR? Come on.
DON’T DELAY, SURPRISE SPECIAL GUEST JUST ADDED!!!
YOW! SPECIAL GUEST AND DAS AND NEW BIG WANGS AND REND-FEST AND MUNGNATTANIZED? WHO COULD ASKBOX FOR MOAR?
It would be weird if I showed up to this, right?
NO SHOW UP WHY NOT!?

I’ve just made a number of mistakes I knew I was making, and I should’ve had the foresight and drive to fix them sooner.
