PHOTOS: Yeah, That Was Fun!

The Arlington Fun Ride — by hard work and luck — managed to live up to its name this weekend.

This past weekend, the Arlington Fun Ride drew more than 150 people out to enjoy a beautiful Saturday morning riding the Arlington Loop. The ride — in its third year — is put on a by a group of volunteers to demonstrate that Arlington's trails are a great place for all Arlingtonians to have fun and get fit. The idea is that by providing a supportive and safe environment to see how to tie all of our the trails together, participants will discover just how easy it is to enjoy those trails. (Disclosure: I'm on the organizing committee.) The Arlington Loop is a 17-mile trail tying together of the Mount Vernon, Custis, Washington & Old Dominion, and Four Mile Run trails. Participants started behind Phoenix Bikes in Barcroft Park, and wound …

Bikes Will Sparkle In Crystal City

The Crystal City Diamond Derby is returning for a fall edition. You've never seen anything like it.

Want to see something you’ve never seen before? Head down to Crystal City on Saturday, Sept. 29,  for the second running of the Crystal City Diamond Derby. One part art, one part bikes, and two parts spectacle, it’s a crazy mash of people who come together for a great evening in a unusual setting. You want to see this.  I should admit that earlier this year, when I encouraged people to check out the first Crystal City Diamond Derby, I didn’t really understand what the event was. I recommended it mostly on the strength of my experience with the promoters as people who put on fun and interesting events. And then I went to check it out for myself. My time there included lots of gawking at decorated bikes, racing on my own bike through a …

A Few Proud Whores Open Signature Theatre's Season

Signature Theatre kicks off new season with Open House and Whorehouse

When Signature Theatre hosts its annual open house Saturday, expect a few proud whores to show up. The open house is free and takes place from noon to 10 p.m. in front of Signature Theatre in Shirlington Village. The all-day event will feature master classes, discount ticket offers and “Signature Idol,” a talent competition. Among the many activities will be live performances, including cast members from the upcoming run of "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas", which opens Aug. 14. When you see the poster for the show you immediately notice the word "whorehouse" emphasized. In fact, the word "whorehouse" is about 100 times larger than the itty bitty phrase “the best little” sitting below. That’s by design. Signature’s Artistic Director, …
