Our sincere condolences to the families of those who died and were injured in yesterday’s rush hour Metro tragedy.  As a frequent rider of the Metro system in DC, I can’t even imagine the frightening feeling of how those Red Line riders felt when the train was struck or those within the jack knifed car.  [...]

Boston Red Sox playahs (do you realize how hard it is to get a ticket to these games against our Nationals ,BTW?) David Oritz aka Big Papi and Mike Lowell were on the scene at Hudson Restaurant & Lounge this evening … getting some cocktails (and famous fried chicken for protein) in before their game [...]

The Green Cup of Polo is back this year at the Capitol Polo Club.  Last year was (hot), but great fun because of the unique twist the Cup has.  Guests will be served organic cuisine, “ecotinis”, and watch two polo matches.  It’s all eco-friendly (even the cabs are EnviroCab!) All profits from the event goes [...]

The hilarious people at JibJab premiered their “He’s Barack Obama” at the Radio & Television Correspondents Association (RTCA) Dinner on Friday night.  Set to the tune of “When Johnny Comes Marching Home”, the cartoon plays the Prez as a superhero like no other (with ears like no other either).  The best part is that he [...]

As I settled in Sunday at my desk, popped open my MacBook and sipped my second cup o’joe, I started my research journey for the remarks I’ll be making at Tuesday evening’s social and new media panel discussion and dinner at the American News Women’s Club.  I didn’t realize four hours later I’d be delving [...]

As we are gearing up to mark the close of year THREE at the Punch (November), I just wanted to make sure that the Loyal Readers, supporters, sponsors and partners are aware of the changes that will be made with regard to Community Partners. We are having a nice year together and I cannot thank [...]

Georgetowner and writer Jane Stanton Hitchcock will entertain and enlighten us at the last Q&A Luncheon for the summer which will be held on July 9th at Nathans.  Her book entitled “Mortal Friends” (Harper Collins), to our delight, is based right here in the nation’s capital.  I love novels that include our town’s landmarks, restaurants, [...]
