We wanted to extend our hearty congratulations to Prince of Petworth, aka Dan Silverman, who announced on his site last night that he has quit his day job in order to devote himself full-time to neighborhood blogging. Dan's been talking about making this move for a long time, so it's great to hear that his dream is finally coming true. As a 2+ year veteran of the Guild of Professional Bloggers, I can tell you that Dan is about to join an elite group of individuals who find themselves spending a preposterously high percentage of their time searching for coffee shops with reliable wireless internet, and far less time worrying about showering or putting on pants. Way to live the dream, Dan!

He writes on his blog, "So mark your calendars, on Nov. 5th I’ll be throwing a big 3 year anniversary party and re-launch."
PRINCE OF PETWORH ON A WHALE CAKE
Mark our calendars? Name the time and place and I'm there!
Perhaps we should check in to having Fenty's frat peeps foot the bill- I think we could make $37,000 work for a single night of debauchery...
In the "beating a dead horse" category, I just read the Politico wrap up of the, LNS, I mean, Wonkette, I mean DCist party. Turns out it was a cash bar. No funds indeed.
There's no comments on that Politico pictorial, kids. I'm just sayin'...
In protest of not getting invited to the DCist hipster-fest, I am going to place five sheetcakes out in the rain. I don't think that I can take it; it took so long to bake it and I'll never have the recipe again. O noes.
Maybe I should spend more time there - appears as if Dan appreciates his readers.
At least Dan has the decency not to delete my posts related to postmenopausal tentacle porn, unlike a certain other dominant editrix who shall remane unnamed. Particularly galling and inexplicable since it was totally relevant to the discussion topic: the secret history of Senate Navy Bean Soup.
Dan, however, does not have a similar policy with respect to anonymous comments about glory holes. C'mon -- it was picture of a wall with a hole in it! How was I supposed to not make that comment?
Perhaps, though, that policy has since been changed.
That depends. Do you like doors? How about pictures of doors?
The reason his blog has the appearance of such loyal readers is that Dan bans commentators that do not show 100% loyalty to him. I don't just mean deleting a post here and there, I mean banning readers/commentators entirely. Dan doesn't take his title "Prince" lightly.
Really? Wow, he's more tolerant than I would be. There are a number of people who would be out of there if I ran that space.
I would also put a stop to anonymous comments.

He needs a new logo, preferrably designed by a committee that wouldn't know graphic design if it dressed up like Paul Rand and skullf**ked them.
Can't speak for anyone else, but I'd sure like to know what the camera in that logo is hiding. Is that frog packing a trident or something?
That frog tongue is kind of pervy looking. Not to mention the frog feet.
MUTINY!!!
Get back on The Bounty, Liz. No more rum, sodomy, or the lash for you.
Get back on the H.M.S. Bounty, Liz.
Dang, too slow.
just H.M.S. Bounty, no need for the "the" :)
The Royal Navy is not a humorous institution, sir, and insubordination is no laughing matter. Damn your eyes, sir! I'll not have your vile ways brought aboard my ship, sir! Do you understand? Now you'll call up the swabbing party yet again! And this time you will make bloody sure that the decks are clean, or by God you will answer for it, sir! I'll not have any of your foul, filthy, gutter ways on board my ship! Do you understand? Good God, pigs in a sty have more comprehension of cleanliness than you buggers have! Now you'll get these decks clean, or by God I'll make you lick them clean with your tongue if you don't mend your ways!

Does this mean that the smelly pantsless guy who hangs out at the Navy Yard Starbucks is a blogger? I just figured he worked for the feds.
Hey! I've wear pants! It's just that they're "ghost pants" in honor of all the pants that Roy Pearson sued/soiled. They're invisible. They also want to destroy Glenn Beck with friggin laser beams and Ranch Bean farts.
Who else here thinks monkeyrotica should quit HIS day job to become a professional blog commenter? I mean, seriously? The summabitch makes me LOL at least 4 or 5 f*cking times a day. That's not easy to do. Can I get an amen?
I got your back, Monkey. If you decide otherwise in your career, then I think you should run against Fenty.
monkeyrotica should quit HIS day job
What day job?
I have seen more than you know. With your left hand you would use me as a shield against LNS, and with your right you would seek to supplant me. I know who rides with Mathis of DCist. Oh, yes. Word has reached my ears of this Silverman, son of Silverman, and I tell you now, I will not bow to this Ranger from the NW, last of a ragged house long bereft of blogging!
The House of DCist has failed! My line has ended! DEEP has deserted us... turkeyrotica's betrayed me... Abandon your post!!! Flee! Flee for your life!!!
Yeah, what's happened to Deep these days? On vacation? CHUDs? On vacation with CHUDs?
Stop your fatalist cries Monkey, this is no time for weakness. I have been preparing for this time for awhile. Deep is on a reconnaissance mission to scope the enemy's weaknesses. He is also in charge of amassing the necessary CHUD army we need for our line to hold. He is the only one who can reason with Mama CHUD, and I believe it is in both parties' best interests.
Bethesdaist - I need 10 more whale cakes, 15 if you have the ability.
Monkey - we need your Crazy Penguin Catapult...they're prepared for penguins, but not for whale cake.
Liz - I need you to be a distraction and seduce the right flank
NewHCE - clearly we'll need guns and you know where to get 'em
Dread, OtR, cminus, Sommer, everyone else...RALLY THE TROOPS! AT SUNRISE WE RIDE!!
(psst, Sir, tomorrow is Saturday...)
AT NOON WE RIDE!!!
+1
OTR needs to bring the surveilance system he currently has installed in the girls dorm at GW.
+100, although Sommer doesn't get up past 2pm on Saturday. And then she spends all day in bed, drinking whiskey.
True, we all have our DCist personalities that ave no bearing on reality. Sommer's is now "She Hate Me"
and we need DPR as our scheduer saying, "Noon? People, I demand our comando actions by 9:00 AM!
You may triumph in the field of battle for a day, but against the power that has risen in Roy Pearson's pants, there is no victory.
No tomb for Monkeyrotica and Deep. No long slow sleep of death embalmed. We shall burn like the heathen kings of old.
Bring wood and Neet's Foot Oil.
This is great news. I wish Dan the best of luck and look forward to more in-depth features like Door of the Day, Good Deal or Not, Sweet Alley to Take a Dump In, etc.
Ha ha!
clearly, it's a tough life...
