If you’ve read any local blogs within the past few weeks you’ve probably seen the debate over the state of the DC music scene. Local bands, record labels, and shows have all be placed under the limelight.
In lieu of putting in my opinion, I asked Shauna Alexander to document her experience of [...]

Thanks to everyone who came out on Friday to discuss neighborhood blogging with Dan Silverman (aka Prince of Petworth) and David Garber (And Now, Anacostia). You guys had some great questions! Thanks to Dan and David for participating and thanks to Sean Peoples for the music. This month we will showcase fashion blogs.
Here are a few photos from Fiz:
Thanks to EVERYONE who came out to Activation 2719 and showed love to us and No Kings Collective! Also, thanks to DJ Fleg, DJ Smudge and DJ Phil Real for keeping the party going, and to the 11 ARTISTS who gave us a reason to be in the same room together.
It was a truly successful event, and it was great to hang out and meet so many cool (and beautiful) people! Here’s a visual recap of the night. If you coudn’t make it out, we will be having a closing reception as well! Stay tuned.
First off, we have a gallery by Edward Underwood:
I dropped by Gold Leaf Studios on Tuesday night to chat with the dapper gentlemen of U.S. Royalty (John, Paul, Luke, Jacob) and with DC’s budding hip-hop star, Phil Adé, about their recent collaboration and upcoming show at the Rock and Roll Hotel. They were kind enough to answer a few questions before jumping [...]

We have two great events lined up for this Friday! Part one is our new monthly event: The Art of the Blog_. Each month we invite bloggers, readers and everyone in between to discuss the DC blogosphere, focusing on one blog category a month, followed by drinks and music. This month we are talking neighborhoods, and we have Dan Silverman (Prince of Petworth) and David Garber (And Now, Anacostia). Come out to meet them! Music will be provided by Sean Peoples of FATBACK.
6-8PM
Following The Art of the Blog_, we are partnering up with No Kings Collective (remember Activation 2719?) to bring you the first of a new art event series, the GALLERY at District. Each event serves as an art opening and social, showcasing the works of gallery caliber artists. The inaugural event is also the launch party for No Kings Collective! Mingle and enjoy the work of No Kings Collective, along with drinks. Sean Peoples of FATBACK will stick around and keep the party going!

Last week, my friend suggested we take in some DC Roller Girls action at the DC Armory. She was still riding a Roller Derby-induced high after Netflix delivered ‘Whip It’ to her mailbox. You know, that movie about roller derby starring Juno and directed by that adorable little girl from E.T. I was skeptical at first, because, well, I worked at a skating rink in high school (true story) and was the guy in the referee shirt skating around telling kids to stop making out in dark corners (still true). Although it was noble work, I didn’t exactly want to relive this phase of my life.
