Get To It

Tuesday, precious darling about-to-crack trooper Antony plays 6th and I with the Johnsons. (Click the link for a chance to win free tix. <3 you, TNG!)

Wednesday, buy a Washington Post. Open to the food section. Find a CSA farm that still has 2009 shares for sale. Buy share. Enjoy unique local produce all summer long. Repeat.

Thursday, Redeem hosts their periodic Knit Nite! Weave yarns with buddies.

Friday, join us for Disco City. This night has been going on for many moons now and it keeps getting funkier, dirtier, and more crowded! I know this makes it sound like a public restroom and not a really fun dance night, but if you free your mind you ass will follow.

Saturday is your last chance to see Ballyhoo! Posters as Portraiture at the National Portrait Gallery. Run - do not walk - to this amazing showcase of sleeper portraiture.

Sunday, Cat Power plays the 9:30 club. I can't think of a better way to wrap up the weekend.

I loved this piece on the Rodarte sisters from NYT Magazine. Their ethereal aesthetic really comes through from the interview, not to mention the great slideshow. Also, the bonds of femininity and sisterhood really inform the business side of their art, a wonderful alternative to the fierce corporate ways of other designers (ahem, Marc Jacobs).

The Post killed it with their style coverage this weekend. Two eloquent pieces by Robin Givhan, about famous bling ("emblematic of hip-hop's often ruthless crusade for success") and first ladies' steez ("so obviously interesting"), along with a healthy serving of Ms. Spinach in the magazine.
