Full set of photos found here




























The biggest, baddest band in the land...from Oklahoma City, OK. Ladies and Gentlemen - THE FLAMING LIPS...
There is alot that can be said about the past 5 days...
Frankly I am growing a bit tired of debates about crowd size and other things from this weekend. Truthfully, I could care less if you voted for him or not...history will be the ruler to which he is judged not our opinions for/against him on Facebook.
With that being said, I wanted to share one photo from that "other" event that was in the news this weekend as my entire family had the privilege of being a part of it...I think it captures the message of what Saturday was about.
While there were issues some advocated for/against that I may/may not agree with - this gentleman sitting in between two fairly harsh signs never said a word, never debated...just reminded us all that maybe we can be just a little bit nicer to one another.
As we get into the throes of summer this photo popped up on my screen today to remind me of how Summer 2016 kicked off...stay cool.
I first heard Lucy Dacus sitting at NPR waiting for a Tiny Desk Concert. Our host, Bob Boilen had seen Lucy the previous evening and giddily played "I Don't Want to be Funny Anymore" post taping of the guest - I just remember sitting there shocked with this song. Well I had the chance to see her last night at DC9 and it was AMAZING. For some reason I think this will be the last time we ever get the chance to see her in such an intimate venue.
Yet again it was AMAZING...
Part of the 2015 UHOP Memorial Day Parade...
I promise to try and start posting more regularly moving forward...with The Funk Parade and UHOP around the corner I realized that it had been awhile.
Each and every Memorial Day weekend, the United House of Prayer holds a parade that goes throughout the Shaw neighborhood in DC. For years I thought it was what was "wrong" with the neighborhood...a symbol of a church taking advantage of the needy. I was wrong.
While I am not a fan of a few of the churches in Shaw, this event reminded me that part of a community is what this is truly all about...
Not much need for any type of comment here...
