I'm seeing Young Frakenstein tonight at the Kennedy Center. It has been on broadway for quite a while. It was written by Mel Brooks. I will let you know how it is. I remember watching the movie with Gene Wilder a long time ago.. very funny.

President Obama calls into WTOP radio as Barry
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2009/12/obama-calls-in-barry-from-dc/1?loc=interstitialskip
Outgoing Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine hosted his last call-in radio show this morning and greeted a guest who employed a surprise moniker:
"Barry from DC."

Turned out to be none other than Pennsylvania Avenue resident Barack Obama.
"Barry" dialed in to "Ask The Governor" to pay tribute to the man he almost picked for vice president and did tap for Democratic Party chair -- after first joking that he wanted to complain about traffic in Northern Virginia.
"Rather than go there, I just wanted to say how proud we are of your service as governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia," the president told Kaine.
Obama told the governor, "We continue to think your wife is probably a little superior to you, as I think people think about the first lady, but you and me have to stick together since we're married to better people."
Just to be sure: Obama does not normally use the name "Barry," at least not since he was very young.
"If he identified himself as Barry from D.C., it's to surprise the governor of Virginia," said spokesman Robert Gibbs.

Brittany Murphy Dies of Cardiac Arrest
How shocking and sad. Only 32. I remember her in the movies "Clueless", "8 Mile", "Just Married" and singing that song "Faster Kill Pussycat" with Paul Oakenfold. I just don't understand how someone can die of cardiac arrest at 32 though.. suspicious to me. I also heard her husband Simon Monjack had some strange ties. Sad.

Test One, Test Two
Welcome to my new blog! The plan is to write up about exciting things going around in DC (music, theatre, restaurants, improv), military, life style advice, dating stuff, interesting people, cool events, etc. I'm always up for tips and networking too.
Some cool blogs I'd recommend checking out as well are: K Street Kate, A Not So Capitol Idea, Glamazon Diaries, Pamela's Punch, and GI Jess. They are mainly focused on the DC Scene.
Today, I'm focused on digging out from the Snowapocalypse of 2009. Biggest snow storm in DC in 77 years.
If you're new to DC and have questions on what to do, email me at: whattodoindc@gmail.com
For now, welcome to my blog.. it's going to be a fun ride!!
