Events

I’m just going to list out event series that I️ think are fun in DC: * the funset at dewdrop inn — it’s like hip hop sunday day party and its so fun if it’s 75 and sunny * for your pleasure at suns cinema - goofy gay oddball disco DJs in a weird cinema with weird movies in the background * NGA nights - both jazz in garden and their night dj parties in the national gallery — super fun * flower factory - gay roof house music party * petworth porch fest — happens early spring and it’s the best day of the year * h street fest - it’s usually too hot but it’s really fun * (self promo don’t kill me) - all your friends at songbyrd. Dj + band indie rock night that I️ throw * red brick presents - cool shoegaze punk adjacent concerts in cool places (one was in a church!) I️ can recommend more places, bars, spots too but I️ feel like these are more fun and like are easier to find cool people at

Moving here its awesome

I️ live here and will never leave — here’s my recs: * If you’re below the age of 30, live as close to Malcolm X park. That means green/yellow or a stretch red line. * restaurants: lapis, red hen, , any Mexican food north of Columbia heights on 14th * bars (in order of edginess): green zone, no kisses, snappys, showtime * venues: 930 (realistically it’s my favorite venue), songbyrd (I’m biased they’re my friends), black cat * events/dj sets: anything that happens at suns cinema, hdf‘s mega raves, anything at showtime (biased bc that includes me)

being A part of your greater local community

Not in a like “change politics/volunteer” way but in a like ”people know me at the bar/coffee shop” / “i run into people at the park every time I️ go” way

throwing events where you live

Making non-commercial as cheap as possible things for your friends to come to!!!! I️ throw these silly little indie dance parties in dc, and it’s so fun to slowly develop a little community in such a transient city. Next one is in April!

Accidentally bidding too much for something on ebay

really wanted a rare electro record — did I️ pay too much? Maybe. Is it ok because I’m excited? yes.
