Happy Friday! (May 2, 2014)

DC Artist Jean Maisel's painting on display at the Phillips Gallery

This weekend is the White House Correspondents Dinner.  Get excited to see celebrities descend on our nation's capitol. If you can't make the dinner itself, the event has morphed into a 5 day fiesta so hopefully there's something for everyone that wants to partake in the fun. 

It's sundress season, can someone please take me shopping this minute?

Aimee Mann and Ted Leo perform at the 9:30 club this Friday.  I won't be there :(.

But I will be going to the Strathmore to see Maa Baa Neigh part of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's Music Box Series, for children between between 6 months and 3 years old and their chaparones.

Last chance to check out DC Artist, Jean Maisel's exhibit at the Phillips Gallery. 

Let's go ride a bike! A bunch of women are meeting up Sunday Morning at Jones Park in Alexandria for a bike ride called Women on a Roll

A Wall Street Journal article saying that DC is the most expensive city in the country, or is it?

A great piece from NPR on Nokia's unforgettable ringtone.

George Clooney is Getting Married (Who's that Lady)



George Clooney is getting married to the gorgeous, successful, tri-lingual, Oxford-educated Amal Alamuddin.  Or as Slate puts it London Human Rights Lawyer Amal Alamuddin Is Engaged!

I must say I'm excited by this.  George Clooney, the superstar that everyone thought would remain single, is settling down with what looks like a no-nonsence, interesting, engaging, career oriented person.  As an added plus, she's stylish, and gorgeous.  I can't wait to hear more about this couple!
