Good evening to you! We hope you enjoyed this beautiful weekend; personally, we spent it lazing about, attending Bluestate, and checking out the Giant at Columbia Heights. The weather looks to hold out only until Wednesday, which kinda sucks, as we were hoping to enjoy an evening at Fort Reno Thursday night watching Monopoli. The photo above is of the gate at the British Embassy and was posted to DCist photos by EXB-WDC. And here’s what you might have missed this past week on DCist:
— Our thoughts are with London in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on the city’s transportation system.
— Mei Xiang, the seven year-old panda at the National Zoo, gave birth to a baby cub. China gets to name the cub, but we hope they call it “Butterstick.”
— Beloved local rockers Q And Not U break up.
— Mayor Williams rides the metro; world gasps.
— We give you an extensive guide to cheap theater seats around town.
— And last, but certainly not least, venerable (and well-loved!) DCist editor Mike Grass signs off. We’ll miss you, Mike!
