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.
Pls email me to be added to the best tumblr group this side of the Anacostia. kiamatthews[at]gmail.com
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.

Today is Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day!
You know what that means… Free Ben & Jerry’s ice cream cones for you! And you! And you, and you and you-ou! As a way to thank our customers for their support and to celebrate 33 years of scooping the chunkiest, funkiest ice cream, frozen yogurt and sorbet, Ben & Jerry’s scoop shops are happily giving it away (via Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream - Free Cone Day is April 12th!)
Probably up for a wander over to Union Station, or this evening, swinging by the Georgetown shop on the way home!
you can find me in the line at the Post Office Pavilion.
