Good morning, Washington. Your new editor here. Though I technically won’t be taking control of the reins for another couple of weeks, you’ll still be able to find me plugging away here on the weekends until that point. But who can think about such things this morning, what with hours to go before the biggest, most hyped match in United States soccer history? Will American talisman Landon Donovan finally shake a history of under-performing in World Cups to lead the United States to a shocking victory over England? Will you be able to find a space with a clear view of the television at one of our recommended viewing spots? If you haven’t left already, will you find a comfortable spot at the quickly-filling Soccer In The Circle? Most importantly, will Twitter survive? In each case, you gotta have faith.

>> For those interested in the intersection of technology, innovation, art and business, Digital Capital Week (hey, D.C. Week, get it?) kicked off last night at Long View Gallery and has more than 200 events on their calendar. Follow the trail of tweets or check out the website for details.

>> Rumors are that Nationals Park will be awarded the Major League Baseball All-Star Game…in 2015. But since All-Star Games sites are only announced one year at a time, it could be until 2013 until we find out whether or not that’s accurate or not. Keep it on the calendar, I guess?

>> Tonight’s the Capital Pride Parade. Festivities get started at 6:30 p.m. in Dupont. Of course, with all that’s going on in that neighborhood today, it’s only fitting that Metro’s been having problems with escalators at the Dupont Circle station this morning.
