If this weather keeps up on Sunday, I will be lazily hoofing it down to the National Mall to check out this free "Green Apple Festival," as recommended by our biking princess, Ylla.
This is a faree concert and event on the Mall starring Flaming Lips, Moe, Los Lobos, DJ Spooky. Also, 80's star Matthew Modine! Oooh! Grab a picnic and blankie and head down.
