bob boilen and friends go over their summertime dance faves this week! my favorites are Uffie, with Gramaphonedzie in close second. dj dance party in the new backyard? eh, eh??

also, i have decided that after meeting bob, religiously listening to his show, residing in the same city as he, creating New Tunes Tuesday AND being quite the dancer myself, that i MUST be a guest on ASC. this will be the first blog petition to get me to npr - Bring Sweet D to ASC!

last thursday we all met up after work, danced to some top 40 in the car, grabbed Chix burritos and burrs, waltzed on down to the 9:30 club and boogied 'til the wee hours with Tokyo PC and Passion Pit. what an awesome night. here's how it went...

Jim Darling Photography

i met photographer Jim Darling at the 9:30 club on monday night while trying to slyly score some tickets to the Broken Bells show. what a great guy - he hung out with us, chatted about his iphone photo project, helped up get our tickets and even took a few shots while we waited. check his stuff out.

welcome back from the weekend! this photo was taken during last summer's outing to Wounded Knee, South Dakota for a weekend with Krishnan's Uncle Jack. a weekend where Jamie sported wrist bands mid-calf (QUITE baller of her), Krish looked incredibly happy in his teal short shorts, and I was 3 and a half feet tall. ahhhhh, the good times.

-

this weekend, though, the 3 M Streeters were split up - jamie and krish off frollicking at the Daddio compound on Chincoteague, and i was holding down the m street fort, playing a couple soccer games, catching a jazz festival show at Utopia, going swimming and fried fish eatin' out at Hains Point (!), fiiiiinally checking out Dickson, and possibly contracting emphysema from the 95 degree smoggy weather the District was enduring.

ooooh, and planning ahead for Happy Wednesday this week. what do y'all think of catching some italian ice and an outdoor movie?
