Emo Kids Under Attack!

Cheer Up Emo Kid
From Sticker Giant

I know it’s evil that this makes me happy, but I can’t help it.  Apparently there is an Emo backlash in South America.

New masthead for Michelle

Last night I was coerced into firing up Photoshop and creating a new header for the old lady’s web site. I didn’t do the artwork, but I still think it turned out OK, minus some tweaking that still needs to be done on the WordPress template.

DC Recap

The trip to DC was awesome. The National Bike Summit was a great experience. I got to meet several of the folks I’ve been following online for a while, including Jonathan Maus of BikePortland.org, Ben Fried of Streetsblog, and Noah Budnick of Transportation Alternatives. We spent a whole day in meetings on Capitol Hill.  I was honoroed to briefly meet Senator Claire McCaskill and get a photo taken.  A couple of us also got to spend about 15 minutes with Congressman Kenny Hulshoff of Mid-Missouri, who is now running for Governor.

And of course there is DC, an awesome city.  It worked out really well for six of us to share a rented townhouse in the Shaw neighborhood, just one Metro stop away from the great U Street neighborhood. Much time was also spent in Dupont Circle and Adams-Morgan.

Food/Drink Highlights:

  • Brickskeller - awesome beer bar in Dupont Circle
  • Unknown Ethiopian - forgot the name but there is a great hole in the wall in Shaw.  It’s on the southwest corner of Florida Ave. and T St. NW, really close to the Shaw-Howard Metro station.
  • Sala Thai - several locations in the city, including Dupont Circle
  • Burma Restaurant - My first time eating Burmese food at this great find tucked upstairs in Chinatown.
  • Seafood and Crab - As bizarre as it sounds, this a seafood/soul food joint run by Asians on 14th St. NW in the U Street area.
