I strongly recommend attending Improvalooza this weekend with the Washington Improv Theater aka WIT. Here are more details:

Improvapalooza: WIT's answer to the summer music festival.
16 hours of seat-of-your-pants comedy, spread over 3 days. Like a huge block party, but with improv shows, and the police don't break it up. We hope.
A new show every 10 or 15 minutes, including: A debate between good and evil. A bloodbath musical. A poodle. An improvised movie [the preview of DC's Neutrino Video Project]. And the camp classic WIT Hot American Summer.
Saturday overlaps with Dog Days along 14th and U, so come get your shop on, then cool off with a cold one in Source's AC. You won't believe what WIT comes up with. And you won't be able to stop laughing.

Sugar Rush: Free Doughnuts on National Doughnut Day
http://bit.ly/jHGLV
Sugar Rush: Free Doughnuts on National Doughnut Day
Talk about TGIF: Friday is National Doughnut Day (woo!), and several doughnut franchises will be handing out free treats to celebrate. Read on to plan your sugar rush accordingly.
By Emily Leaman , Ann Limpert Published Thursday, June 04, 2009
Krispy KremeThis North Carolina-based chain is offering a free doughnut to every customer on June 5—no purchase is necessary. Here’s a tip: Try to snag one of the piping-hot confections straight off the conveyor belt. The doughnut will almost melt in your mouth.Locations in Dupont Circle, Alexandria, Rockville, and Columbia.
Dunkin’ DonutsThis old standby is handing out free doughnuts with drink purchases. Mind if we make a suggestion? We love Dunkin’s double-brewed iced coffees. Add a pump of flavor—anything from toasted almond to blueberry—for an extra punch.Locations in Penn Quarter, Eastern Market, Dupont Circle, Columbia Heights, and more. Click here to find a nearby store.
Fractured PruneFracture Prune’s original store is in Ocean City, Maryland. That’s why, on National Doughnut Day, all 17 Prune shops from Delaware to Ohio to Virginia are giving away a free cinnamon-sugar glazed Ocean City Sand doughnut to every customer.Locations in Frederick, Rockville, Dulles, and Leesburg. Click here to find a store.
Want to celebrate with even more doughnuts? We love the goods at 2 Amys, the Cleveland Park pizzeria that hawks Italian-style cinnamon doughnuts on weekends. The soft fritters, dipped in canola oil, are rich with egg and lightly scented with orange. They’re the Armani of doughnuts—simple and perfect, without any unnecessary frills. For $1.50, you get one doughnut and its punched-out hole, and it’s hard not to want more. Once the tray is empty, the doughnuts are gone until the next weekend.
Runner-up: Tabard Inn. Chef Paul Pelt might be turning out innovative dishes at night, but the most talked-about item at this cozy Dupont Circle restaurant is still the weekend-brunch doughnuts by pastry chef Huw Griffiths. At $1.50 each, the cinnamon-sugar-sprinkled circles are light and pillowy with a slight sourdough tang. The plate comes with just-whipped cream, but these little guys are fine on their own.

Sunday, Good Burgers and Happy Hour
Sunday I took a very long bike ride which was exhiliarating, refreshing, and exhausting. I highly recommend hanging around the grassy knoll by the Georgetown waterfront and just chilling. Just be sure to have a significant other with you or a dog. I felt like I was at Lover's Lane!
Afterwards I went to Rugby for their burgers. I might have to try it again as people rave about it, but I think my favorite is still Clyde's in Georgetown. Their happy hour specials are great! I also heard McCormick and Schmick's has a very cheap and tasty happy hour too:

Welcome Post
What is my blog about? It's about DC social life, UVA, working in DC, life coaching, charity work, music, getting in shape and helping others. I enjoy helping people especially the military and making contacts.
I'm specifically involved in two charities Suited for Change with Barbara Merola www.suitedforchange.org and My Vision Foundation www.myvision.org.
Suited for Change is about giving life skills and professional clothing to underprivileged women.
My Vision Foundation helps young women with breast cancer preserve their fertility. It was founded by a high school classmate of mine, Alice Crisci who was diagnosed with breast cancer at 31 years of age. She also wrote an amazing book to go along with her experiences.
I'm also helping with publicity and business development with Skincando. It's an organic skin care line that is amazing! I'm helping to send as much of the Combat-Ready balm to the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan as it is a salve against the torturous sand fleas. We are working cojointly with WMAL with Operation Sand Flea to send the balm to as many troops as possible. www.skincando.com and www.wmal.com.
I guess that's about it. I hope you enjoy the blog and my many adventures in DC! Come to some of our events. Love to meet you!!
