If a freshman member of the House of Representatives has his way, the District government’s coffers would be a lot lighter. Perhaps $95 million lighter, to be exact.
Former D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams has denied that he’s off to save Detroit.
When it comes to bastions of decency and decorum, beer isn’t necessarily the first place one would think to look for them. But according to Maryland-based Flying Dog Brewery, their hand was slapped for having a too risque beer label. The company has now filed suit in U.S. District Court against the Michigan Liquor Control Commission for denying a license to sell their number one selling Raging Bitch Belgian-Style India Pale Ale in the…
At this point in December, holiday concerts and Handel’s Messiah have completely hijacked the classical music schedule. Here are a few other events, not all of which avoid the spirit of the season. After this post, the Classical Music Agenda will take its end-of-the-year hiatus, to return in the New Year. >> On Tuesday, the final concert sponsored by Washington Performing Arts Society this calendar year features young violist Jennifer Stumm and Finghin Collins at…
The mid-November start to the NCAA basketball season tends to get lost in the universe of sports coverage. This is probably due to the staggered opening nights around the country, but can also be attributed to competition with other sports — college football entering its stretch run, the NFL in midseason, even the NBA’s opening weeks garner more attention than college hoops. We’re not about to let this exciting time slip through the cracks. With…
We didn’t come into this week eight matchup with the undefeated New England Patriots without some degree of hope. It’s been suggested that someone has to beat New England this year. And we seem to recall that Tom Brady had not yet beaten us in his career. And Gibbs was out, doing his expectations management act, downplaying our chances, which he always does. And we were asked to compare this matchup to Michigan and App…

The match could be one of the most entertaining, competitive affairs this season. United aims to atone for their first round exit from the tournament two years ago; they also seek to…
FOUND Magazine has a knack for revealing the beautiful underbelly of America, the forgotten parts of our everyday lives. Highlighting things like the hateful note you left the person parked in your precious parking spot, your laundry list of to-dos, that love note you didn’t find the courage to send, or those rejection letters that you didn’t want to hold onto, FOUND is the curated hamper for everything not worth collecting. That is unless you…
By no means am I strictly an NFL guy. When the lights dim after the Super Bowl each year, I seamlessly move with the seasons into the maelstrom of college hoops and then the long, drawn-out, slow-motion marketing fantasia that is the NBA. Over a lifetime, I’ve soured on baseball but stayed constant to soccer, the sport I participated in myself as a child, with engrossingly mediocre results. But then, the NFL comes around again…
Back when Napster was all the rage, big name artists were up in arms because their material was being made available for free to whoever wanted it wherever a computer with Internet access existed. On the other hand, if a musician wanted to get mass distribution on the cheap, Napster and similar programs were a godsend. Detroit crooner Dwele’s career is a testament to that. Recorded mostly in his bedroom, Dwele’s Rize demo was highly…
