In the nation’s captial, among the subcategories of workers — the civil servants, the lawyers, high-ranking administration officials, Starbucks baristas, congressional staff assistants, etc. — there are the hundreds of events planners. In a city where official events are usually so well-scripted and logistically planned out, it is surprising that tourism and events officials had to cancel the annual Taste of DC because they failed to realize that there were other events taking place in the capital this weekend.

“We made the decision in isolation,” Susan Linsky, a special assistant to the deputy mayor for economic development, tells the Post.

Ooops! So what did events officials fail to remember when moving Taste of DC from Columbus Day weekend to Memorial Day weekend? Well for starters, there’s the National Memorial Day Parade on Monday and then there are the thousands of motorcyclists participating in the Rolling Thunder “Ride for Freedom,” set to ride into town on Sunday.
