Robbers made off with approximately $350,000 in jewels following a theft in a Super 8 Motel in Dumfries, VA Thursday morning. The theft is probably the highest-dollar robbery in Prince William County. The victim said two men approached him in his car in the parking lot of the motel, showed a gun, and demanded all of his property. One of the suspects broke the passenger-side window and took a cell phone and a suitcase full of jewelry. It appears that this was a targeted attack, as the victim, who is from Great Neck, NY, was in the area on business with the jewelry. more ›

Excitement abounds here at DCist HQ as we're all abuzz and ready for Unbuckled 7, which finally drops tonight.

The (far too long) wait is over. After our sixth Unbuckled show, featuring Le Loup and The XYZ Affair that tested the integrity of DC9's second floor, we needed a little break. Well, we're sufficiently rested and ready to bring you the goods yet again. As you've all probably noticed, we've expanded our musical coverage some in the last year. With the talents of Sriram Gopal and W Jacarl Melton, DCist has been able to cover a lot more than indie rock. They put their heads together and came up with an amazing bill for Unbuckled 7. So without further ado, the details! more ›
