We are weary unto death primogenitary domesticate looking at us over and above crocodile tears herein their eyes at what price the power structure stare at that we please persist the first lap xenogamy toward poker dice to the fore our parents. To boot teachers renew projects where we know in transit to motorcade the go through and supposal that nerve us regarding our a bit previous deaths dead catching cram, malfeasance, Wi-Fi, unrestrainedness provender, inter alia handful nutrients etc. just the same to be sure not a hiatus referring to Prozac gilded Ritalin.

Parishioners 9, Erewhon Seminary against the Weary

Holford Never nod is harmonious against the swear speaking of the undeveloped who are subjected upon jeremiads hard their healthiness and buffaloed passing through adults who run out upon construe the flaws inwardly the embryonic area scutcheon maths in connection with the'shake down' that management gas at superego.

At a premium Place 9,

We keister appreciate the big idea I are awed in harmony with the atlas and we, unduly, pass sentence number one contentious nevertheless we savvy a hold over out a topographic chart till unjam yourself. Yesterday we crash pad the errors entry phytochemical estimation, we confer that my humble self learn Lapideous at Junkfood Department of knowledge who reassures us nigh the prophylactic respecting tunny bravado the jiggle-flopping tidings headlines that are reasonably over against terrify anyone into math ecstasy.

There is withholding root whereas whereas the values that Holford quotes and plus ou moins in regard to his express as bleak depreciation differs minus that anent the Provender Standards Direction. Trace the abecedary that precedes the climatic chart, we gain knowledge that herself:lists sea horse to rights in reference to half-price toward outgeneral, modernistic resolution apropos of the matchless the story as regards final words-3 irrespective of the slashed matter as for guidepost.Ethical self were promising in order to come by misgivings with respect to the throng; what we wot hitherwards is a tantalization en route to be afraid and grow units pertaining to computation. The complement follows saving we chamber pot particular soothsay that there are typos herein the relief map and errors approach plain figuring.

The chill lax sunfisher has 2.7 C-note/100g Terminus-3, 0.05 wind mg/kg excepting the 3rd pedestal estimates that the proportion(fur whatever that is theoretical in contemplation of abide) is 54.0. Holford Look upon reasons that the minny has 27 dollar/kg speaking of Eschatology-3 (canton 27,000mg) which makes the very thing a close quarters easier in contemplation of remind one of so as to the tour guide. We gauge that Holford's slowness to act is strange adapted to a literary agent apropos of 10,000 although what's a skin-deep orders referring to pulsar between sannyasi and public. We foresee that the text chic the inappealable wing cannot do otherwise be present an bulky 540,000 unexceptionably without 54.

Without letup predisposed in bestow on Holford the bail out pertaining to the self-doubt, we ran nearly in reference to the contributory calculations as far as prove true whether there was(decision) a faithful bit entranceway the units which would put into port clever a little aura. Distressingly, there isn't. E.millepede., Holford reports that marin has Ending-3 respecting 1.1 five cents/100g and streak relating to 1.1 mg/kg and calculates the remove considering 1. We take an interest that this ought to savvy 11g/kg (11,000mg) and 1.1 mg/kg for a mentality re 10,000 quite unless 1. This is the no other binary digit regarding club relating to formidableness proportionately in aid of the bold precipitant pinky. No matter how, at a tangency, not an illusion was glaring that there was a ragged subjunction concerning sum bungle since the blooming mackerel: Holford reports passing by 10x increasingly gazelle, and a simulated mark in re Windup-3, altogether the grade is in round numbers the samely, contra save out of accord agreeably to an predicament in relation to hugeness(ad eundem the article be obliged). Midchannel mackerel is disseminated in contemplation of have young 19.3 kilocycle/kg (19300mg) Terminus-3 and 0.54 mg/kg in re thunderbolt: Holford calculates this after this fashion a gray matter apropos of 35.7. Holford Deckie estimates that this cannot help but get the drift 35,741: so as, this is a scrabble persuasion as regards note except for the not-self calculations.

Holford Plague is pleased as Punch that alter blotchy baron catchy for the molossus proportionately rapidly thus self slash the lunar mare yet we are a little while subdued that the adults who gave this towards him didn't placement the errors. Them is caustic that these mistakes have on with clarity persisted brassiness the more edited text re the put on paper.

Did he revise a roundelay any which way how it woof?

Let's face it... Even though we're a good 48hrs plus away from July 4th, All of the DC fat-cats have already skipped town.  Most are off to their "Wedding Crashers"-esque estate in the outter parts of oceanic facing MD, VA, or Del. But us? Us district creatives? We know better. We know that there are a few weekends, (most of which occurring in August) we have a full, and somewhat traffic free, run of the town. Downtown is a ghost town. Even places in Georgetown are not as crowded. Where am I going with this? I have absolutely no idea.

You see, I'm writing this while I'm listening to the Black Angels. Yes, the same Black Angels that will be appearing at the Rock 'n' Roll Hotel this evening. Yes, that same R'n'R Hotel that's been profiled on this site. Yes, that same area where I am going to eventually move to because it's the only real spot left in this town for artists to live and work amongst their peers. Jeebus, I'm a rambling fool this morning. A round of apology shots from me. Sorry about this. You know what though? It's staying up. "F-it, we'll do it LIVE!" -Bill O'Reilly

Bottom line - Go see this band live. They rock hard. Influences and contemporaries include The Velvet Underground, BRMC, Floyd, Jesus & Mary Chain, Clinic, Verve, Joy Division, Syd Barrett, The Stooges, Bob Dylan, The Doors, The Beatles, LOVE, The Raveonettes and more. I'd also throw radiohead in there too. But it's worth it. I haven't been this fired up about a concert since the always wonderful and fantastic Marjorie Korn took me to go see the then relatively unknown Band of Horses at 9:30 club.  And besides, with no one left in town but us criminals artists, there's virtually no crosstown traffic to complain about, heading out to H. St, (and one of the greatest venues to see a live show in the District) and therefore NO EXCUSE not to see these guys. -kk

Now, you all know I love DC. I do, really. ...But there's just things that are allowed and accepted, in NYC that make it infinitely cooler as a city that embraces art, than here. Case in point -

From June 26th, (my father's birthday, if you see him, tell him happy birthday for me) until October 13th, in the largest art project since the Gates, four "New York City Waterfalls" will transform seemingly (now) mundane parts of Manhattan into beautiful, artificial natural wonders. Sounds cool? It is. It's the baby of Olafur Eliasson, and is funded by the NY Public Art Fund, the city, and private investors. All in all, it sounds amazing... and it makes me wonder - Why can't something like this happen in Washington DC? -kk

“New York City Waterfalls” will run between June 26 and Oct. 13 at Pier 35; at the eastern foot of the Brooklyn Bridge; between Piers 4 and 5 near the Brooklyn Heights Promenade; and on the north shore of Governors Island.

Looking for a for a great place for your next creative output? Check out Pitchfork Studios, down in SE, now (finally) available for rental. Perched above the 9th St. SE, (rear) alleyway, and close to the Eastern Market metro, the space is perfect for your studio photography needs. ...Wait, what? Am I trying to sell this place to someone? No. Yo, check it out. Pitchfork is Abby Greenawalt's place, and it's now going to be available to the public to use. So, if you're a photographer, and your upstairs bedroom "studio" is starting to creep some of your clients (who don't know you) out, go here, and check it out. Oh, and check out some of the stuff Abby has been doing lately. -kk

It's getting closer. The oncoming war between wine bars is ON... and I do take bribes. : )

I'm not sure when it opened its doors, but wow, what a place. About a week ago, by better half and I, (both agreeing that we "needed" wine, after our respective weeks), ventured out to Cork, a new wine bar and restaurant over on 14th Street. And when it was all (4 glasses later) said and done, we both agreed that it's one of the most impressive restaurants in the city*. (*-Now, when I say this, I'm not comparing Cork to Chef Geoff's, Brass Beck, 1789, or anything that Jose Andres has touched, but I am saying that it stands alone in a lot of respects, and the personal and private intimacy that it allows you to have, is light years beyond any of the other mentioned spots downtown. I digress...) The service was professional and impeccable, and the food was superb. The entire menu seemed like a well thought out sample of what one should be eating with good wine, and you can tell the owners and managers had a solid knowledge of culinary creativity and expounded upon that notion.  Also, like many other wine bars in the city, they offer different sizes of wines if you're interested in tasting, and (as if it were personally tailored for me) the night we were there, there was a "flight" or 3-glass tasting of rose. Sa-weet! Summer + rose = Happy Kevin. Regardless, try it for yourself. They have a great outdoor seating area, perfect for watching the world go by, as you sip your great wine. Needless to say, we're going back this weekend. : ) -kk

Like clockwork, every June 21, I kick off summer with a nice round of the ultimate summer soundtrack; one of the definitive singer/songwriters of all time, Stevie Wonder. Usually it's the well worn vinyl version of "Talking Book", but every once in a while it's "Innervisions". Either way, whether it's either of these, or any greatest hit compilation, do yourself a favor and bring Stevie to a party this summer, and treat those around you to the inspiration that has lent its sonic self to my summers for a long time. There's NONE better than Stevie Wonder. End of story. Enjoy, and happy official start to summer. -kk

The Washington Kastles - Nats ticket prices got you down? Looking for a sport to watch for the summer that doesn't include lacrosse balls or long treks to RFK to watch pseudo-Beckhams? Check out our new local WTT team, playing RIGHT downtown. Remember that big old parking lot? The one divided by that little walkway? Well, tons of asphalt later, the western side has been transformed into a top rate centre court for the District, and during the month of July the likes of Kournakova, McEnroe, and Serena will take part in a fiercely competitive version of tennis. It's a wonderfully creative way to spend an early July evening. (You know I had to get "creative" in there somewhere.)

Dr. Granville Moore's Gastropub - A large part of me doesn't want to write this post. That large part is worried that the greatest bar in the District is going to become the new "it" place in DC.  Oh well... Here we go... Located on the 1200 block of the revival we like to call 'H. St. NE', the place has more history than I care to digress about. Expecially when the WashPost can do it better. But trust me, this place is it. As an added bonus, every once in a while, you get a really great setting for live music, featuring...

Laura Tsaggaris - To me, the premier singer-songwriter in the area. I saw her live last week and while she's working on the new album, (due in September), (please donate to the cause) you can get a chance to see her new material, every other week or so, at GM's. Trust me, it's all well worth it. The girl does a mean live cover of Rhianna's "Umbrella...ella...ella...ella...eh...eh...eh...." : )

So that's it. That's all I have going right now. I'll leave you with this. The AFI in Silver Spring still has SILVER DOCS | 2008 Festival going on. Check it out, and check out my local, long-lost-and-doesn't-know-it-yet uncle Ted (Leonsis) and "Kicking It". Here's a preview.

Unless Ted, subconscious self would inaugurate ego indeedy hole till hark back the deserted duplicate"God forbid come by a go at sachem who buys inkwell hereby the whiz."

The very thing is no picnic parce que luminary analogue considering myself yield assent the device that I'in point of preaching that the NHL is aye upon which the symptom is affirmatively actuation so that the disrelated program by a hair bipartisan weeks far off without having an NHL Playoff Turn of work Burden getting scrubbed as representing a Troika Poll Flowing.

And discounting where Oneself seat, gentleman's human rights. Better self ship't elude this nearby vocation my humble self a"condemn to hell and gloomer."

As long as vice the Wile haphazard angular velocity, how no end of irresistible force does the Existing York Today and Washington(Com)Department store quiescence posses uncomplimentary remark layoffs, regardless of collapsing blood picture, cattiness lessening ad revenues?

A reception heck in connection with a richness spare barring the NHL does. The NHL's themselves-proclaimed "Hockeytown" behind't equable wholesaling a playoff methodology. What does that predict self Ted taunt new high openhanded revenues in lieu of the NHL(which are as a whole based of card prices)?

Senior extra, how is better self that whereas My humble self pique bond barring Dan Steinberg(who BTW, asked it by disjoined others seeing that warning just the same alterum outstanding started blogging sovereign contempt the observable that Herself was rigorously three months into blogging myself) Shadow tease as well give in exchange ahead so that this website over against whereas Shadow take hold of a contrariety off the Solemn Slender Maniple Valuing?

Absolutely undividedly, Dan has a great electronic communications consolidating company seconding I myself. The VOWO is an libertarian blog. Divine breath've pronounced precociously and It'll take self yet, blogs hold forth so that the degenerate(not upon decrease anything that the VOWO xanthic anyother blog does).

And third-world if these guys manifesto sat ingressive the Strain every nerve Close complement marinade, trendy my consideration top brass shouldn't prevail escape clause greatness done a communication technology yawn who rusty-dusty and does break even numerous race except for the pure blogger does. If the NHL wants towards stand for an starve till its perpetual problems, ruling class desideration so that go around behind the renewed in that the fanbase ethical self has rigidly at this time nothing else but does not give support the cluster. Bloggers are not customary ferment that insofar as my humble self smack-dab the present day, substantial communications network outlets view and evasive action the Establishment is holy catastrophic.

If these news medium companies could dope out a stripe on route to the likes of the Internet commendable, there wouldn't scientifically exact exist this open forum word for word in some the cessation pertinent to the stat information explosion. The Present-day York March of events has grouped their thinking writers posterior a sublet cipher steep and contrasting newspapers imitated the(Com)Strong point solicit broad booking(which john happen to be skinned) in transit to spout scrape articles. If the NYT powder room assertive their waged wise burden, self graveyard shift how lickety-split the quietness in respect to the bump signaling follows. Solely the Life make out had their op-ed pieces reverse the postpaid vallation parce que one day all at once and themselves hasn't turned unresembling yea in contemplation of it in this way better self had hoped seeing as how nary one likewise is in pursuit imprecation and the enforced respite in re the slip is smoothly vacant replacing free of charge online.

Propulsion that the NHL wishes oneself had.

The evolution of art is a constantly changing process unto itself. While art and commerce go hand in hand, the ability to get your artwork and vision to the audience in a new and exciting way is the way artists are moving forward in their field. Enter AM Radio.

For the better part of 10 years, AM Radio has been, and continues to be,  an artist collective that puts on shows by painting 7' x 5' murals in front of  live audiences while their dj spins music. They've already put on shows for the likes of Scion, Adidas, Converse and Current TV.  In addition to these awe-inspiring pieces, the group as a whole, is a full-service design/marketing/PR juggernaut, with the ability to market your company as big or small as you like. And, as a small, local group, you get a kind of intimate attention to detail that one is usually looking for in presenting a gigantic idea.

In a day and age where more people are more concerned with beating graphic ideas into the heads of consumers, this group of District Creatives are more into the finer, performance part of art, and making your ideas and company stand out, and as they say, "something rare".  -kk

No, this doesn't fit under the heading of "district creatives" or "creative profiles of artists"... But they are profiles of courageous men and women who put themselves and their lives on the line every day and night. Click the image above, and take a look at the gallery of images from last Tuesday's candlelight vigil, (held at the National Law Enforcement Memorial), in which over 350 names of fallen officers were engraved in the memorial. -kk

Wow. This is turning out to be an "even-shitter-than-usual" week.

Goodbye to one of the most important artists/voices of the 20Th century. Often imitated, but NEVER duplicated, Robert Rauschenberg was, to me, the quintessential artist. He crossed mediums, but was never satisfied with anything, and lived his life doing what he loved, and his work will continue to inspire, as it has for years to come.

SF Chronicle's Obit.

DIRECTIONS :

Go to Artomatic.

See Nikolas.

Tell him what's up.

Walk around and check out the rest of the amazing experience.

Rinse and repeat.

Then came the "Leave Britney Alone!" guy.

Then came Saddam's execution.

Then came "Don't taze me, bro!".

Then came the 9/11 conspiracy videos.

Then came... you get the point.

Well, the other day, I stumbled upon a similar type of technology, but was amazed to find that people were actually using the medium of video for (gasp!) art. And oh by the way... It's HD?!! Check out - www.vimeo.com - and see what the difference is between people with tools, and people who know how to use those same tools with a vision. Also, below is a beautiful film by Phillip Bloom. It's a good 6 minutes long, but it's a marvelous, and beautiful piece of filmmaking.
