Em and I met up in Chevy Chase after work Thursday night because we had passes to an advance screening of The Coen Brothers’ Burn After Reading.

ray’s hellburgers are no joke… after much hullabalooh from friends & co-workers, we finally went for an inaugural taste-test sunday night. the fun thing about ray’s is the array of special cheeses and toppings you can pile on, like epoisse, foie gras, and applewood smoked bacon. i was quite torn between the muenster and imported… Read more »

Mousybabe show highlight of the week: Don’t Be Glib @ Black Cat (backstage) The band features Aaron Leeder (who opts for tasty rhythm guitar over his trademark Clov heroics), alongside talented and demure song bird Mary Beth Doran.
