santarchy

heads up, party people: santa meetup tomorrow. be there...plan an alternative to reindeer for getting back home.

museum walk

my parents live in the kalorama/dupont circle neighborhood, and its just lovely there! take advantage of today's lower humidity and go on the dupont/kalorama museum tour! all ten venues are free: i am walking, but there's a free shuttle also.

after hours at the hirshorn

yeah, it's sold out again, but you gotta sign up for membership so you dont miss these after hours dance party/exhibition at the hirshorn again.

saturday

saturdays seem as frantic as any other day of the week around here: busy people in traffic jams running to and fro...i try to stay out of it! i will go on a hike with oto and the mister, then head downtown...i'm thinking of going to the renwick gallery: an oasis of calm in a sea of stress. despite this museum being across the street from the white house, it is never crowded or loud, and there are two exhibitions on display now that sound so interesting! the revolution in wood has 66 carved and turned pieces from important artists, and the art of gaman shows work created by inhabitants of the japanese-american internment camps from 1942-1946...both exhibits end the 30th.

the godfather

of go go, that is, chuck brown will perform the final free concert at woodrow wilson plaza today, 5pm. start getting happy a little early...dont forget your cowbell!

arts on foot

arts on foot started today: immerse yourself in art while the weather is fantastic here in the nation's capitol! buy stuff at the fine art marketplace...attend one of the many activities like crafts, theatre and dance demos...watch a film...eat some food and drink argentinian wines...sounds like a good thursday to me!
