It should happen every day. In an ideal world it could, would, and you would love it. You stroll in and the music wraps around you. It’s the perfect amount of people (although-in reality-it won’t really matter), and oh what’s that? They are playing your song. That song that not only makes you remember why [...]
The sculpture garden skating rink is closed, the cherry blossoms are in bloom, my bike ride to work is becoming steadily sweatier—yep, it’s springtime in D.C. Come out of hibernation for your Allegra prescription and head to Barracks Row on Wednesday, March 14, to welcome monthly Jell-O wrestling back to Phase 1 after its winter hiatus. Here’s [...]
f you’re a dollar store fanatic like me (and why wouldn’t you be? where else can you find knockoff Drano, a Rick Springfield CD and Cadbury Creme Eggs in the same aisle?!), you’re familiar with the concept of the grab bag. They’re the crumpled brown paper bags, stapled at the top and bulging with mystery, [...]
People always say “good things come in small packages,” and if WTGG’s Honey I Shrunk The Queers party was considered a “small” package, I’d say people are right. The ladies—and some fabulous boys—of the District came out to The Fab Lounge on Friday, Feb. 24, to play with inflatables, dance to the best hits of [...]
Friday is less than 48 hours away and who doesn’t love Friday? Also, who doesn’t love the 80s and reliving childhood memories? This Friday you can have it all. We’re bringing you Honey, I Shrunk the Queers, the biggest little dance party this side of 1989! We’ve put together an 80s-tastic playlist, sprinkled some early [...]
A note brought to you by Kat Skiles, of LezGetTogether.Com Valentine’s Day, International Kissing Day, the Celebration of Sad Singles, America’s Retail Pocket-Picking Party – call it what you’d like but February 14th is inevitably going to roll around. And what does that mean for LGBTQ women in DC? Sure, kickin’ it with Ben & Jerry [...]
This Friday is the moment all queer girls and lesbians alike have been waiting for (or at least all those living within 50 miles of DC). The oldest lesbian bar in the country is throwing open the doors to their second venue: Phase 1 Dupont. The new location is taking up residency in the former [...]
I’m not one to be over-dramatic (barring the hissy fits I’ve been known to throw when someone disses Robyn…I mean, COME ON), but if the world does indeed come to an end this year, I might be able to accept my fate with grace, knowing that I had one last sweat-soaked liquor-lubricated grind-fest with a [...]
How is it that four-day workweeks sometimes feel longer? Need a drink? Or some dancing? Maybe even an explosion of sequins and glitter? If you said yes—and obviously you did—to all the above, head to DC9 this Saturday. Local queer band, Glitterlust (aka Mikey Torres-vocals/live synth, Liz Wooley-guitar, and Chris Roudiez-live bass guitar) will be [...]
Humility is a virtue. Sometimes, a pat on the back is best taken with nothing more than a bashful smile and nod. But on the rare occasion that, oh, I don’t know, our Cuntfessions page gets an Editor’s Choice Award for “Best Place to Pick Up Chicks” in the Brightest Young Gays Ponies Choice Awards, [...]
