• Posted Cupcakes Still Not Trite, Apparently to DCist
  Though Georgetown Cupcake was holding off opening until Valentine's Day, their debut yesterday seemed to be missing something — cupcakes. Last night, potential customers were turned away by an apologetic sign, "We are so sorry! We have completely run out again." This was one of many times the tiny boutique bakery off M Street (right across from Quick Pita, a Hoya mainstay) had to temporarily shut down to keep up with orders. It was two...
• Posted DCist Interview: Michael Ian Black to DCist

  Calling all lame, angsty middle school versions of yourself. As part of a national tour, the cultish comedy show MORTIFIED is coming to the DC-area in October, but before then, the folks behind it need you to unearth those dusty Pee-chee portfolios filled with goo-goo ga-ga love letters, poems and top-secret journal entries. Let strangers hear the precious—preciously embarrassing, that is—truth about what you wanted to do with Oscar on the swing set. Or how...
