Robberies Prompt Adams Morgan Crime Site

Posted: November 28th, 2007, 4:40pm MST by Fredo Alvarez

LBL_TAG_TAGS: dc [LBL_TAG_EDIT]

A recent spate of armed robberies and muggings in Adams Morgan prompted Jonathon and Laura Lunardi to launch a new community website. AdamsMorganCrime.org aims to connect residents to discuss and solve crime issues in the neighborhood. Residents are invited to register on the site and share their stories in the forum, namely details on where and when crime happens in the neighborhood. The site is just getting off the ground, so it's difficult to tell yet how effective it could actually be. A monthly email newsletter is also in the works.

WJLA first reported on two muggings that took place on Friday night. The first took place around 9 p.m. when a couple walked by Ontario and Kalorama roads and were held at gunpoint by four people with hoods over their faces. The foursome demanded the couples' valuables, who in turn gave them everything they had.

The second incident, about an hour later, occurred at the corner of Summit Place and 18th Street, a few blocks away from the incident at Ontario and Kalorama. A woman was also robbed at gunpoint, despite walking with a group of five other friends -- 2 male, 3 female.

According to a note tacked onto a condo building at Lanier Place, a woman was mugged last Wednesday night just outside its door.

A spokesperson for the MPD confirmed with WJLA that there is a rise in crime in Adams Morgan, but also notes that there is a spike in armed robberies during this time of year.

Kwik-E-Mart is Here. Thank You, Come Again!

LBL_TAG_TAGS: dc simpsons kwikemart [LBL_TAG_EDIT]

You might remember hearing the news, back in March, that the folks marketing The Simpsons Movie would be remaking some 7-11s across the country in the image of Apu Nahasapeemapetilan's beloved Kwik-E-Mart. As Simpsons devotees, we were pretty excited.

Well, the D.C. area is among the lucky metropolises selected — but, to our dismay, the Associated Press (via NBC4) tells us that the lucky 7-11 is in Bladensburg, Md. Of course Bladensburg isn't all that far from the city. Still, surely the nation's capital deserves something a bit more Metro-accessible. We were prepared to write the whole thing off — and to do so in song:

Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart?
Now here's the tricky part
Oh won't you rhyme with me?
Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart?
It's already on Flickr-E-Mart
They're in the sticks-E-Mart
It's a marketing trick-E-Mart
The Kwik-E-Mart is really — d'oh!
Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart?
Not me!

But then we started to see the photographic evidence. There's this Flickr set of the Kwik-E-Mart in Burbank, Ca. Between the Frostillicus decal, the Krusty-Os and the relatively obscure donut-topping reference, it's clear that this is both a crass marketing exercise and a labor of love.

Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart? We doooooooo... More photos after the jump.

DCist's July Theater Preview

LBL_TAG_TAGS: theater dc fringe festival [LBL_TAG_EDIT]

Thank god for the Capital Fringe Festival. The event, now in its second year, makes sure that our July isn’t totally barren when it comes to edgy, exciting theater. We’ll be giving you a more detailed report on what the Fringe has to offer this year (hint: Avenue Q and Harry Potter parodies, Chocolate Jesuses and an operatic Lysistrata are among the choices), but here’s what the less fringified theaters around here will be up to this July.

What good is sitting alone in your room? Signature Theater has a cabaret series that extends throughout July (the Sondheim one sounds particularly enticing).

If Jesus Christ Superstar didn't provide your gospel-themed musical theater fix last month, head over to Olney for their take on Godspell (July 5).

In short there's simply not a more congenial spot for checking out Camelot than Wolf Trap, natch (July 10).

Nothing deserves the musical treatment quite like marijuana: Studio Theater offers its take on the cult classic Reefer Madness (July 11).

American Century Theater is restaging a 1938 musical revue known as Hellzapoppin'. Back in the day, audiences loved it and critics hated it. Who will be a fan of this incarnation? (July 13).

MetroStage has not one, not two, but Three Sistahs for us (July 26).

Still playing
The July 15 weekend marks the end of two Studio Theater productions, Souvenier and the witty Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, as well as Woolly's original Dead Man's Cell Phone, Signature's wildly entertaining Witches of Eastwick, WSC's naked Macbeth, and Landless's premiere, Yours Truly Jack The Ripper; Theater J's Pangs of the Messiah closes July 22; Rorschach's world premiere Birds and Shakespeare Theater's emo-tastic Hamlet bow July 29; You've got until August to see Brooklyn Boy at Olney or Phantom at the Kennedy Center.

LBL_TAG_TAGS: math dc art abstraction mathematical [LBL_TAG_EDIT]

Open your mouths and say ahhh for that appetizing pill that is seriously experimental art. Thanks to the folks at Washington Project for the ArtsCorcoran, you can get your fill tonight from 7 to 9 p.m. in Corcoran's Hammer Auditorium when they conclude their Experimental Media Series with Night #3.

It’s difficult to exaggerate just how far from the canvas we have come, and somewhat serendipitous that WPAC has chosen to present experimental media as part of the continuing ColorField.remix celebration, because back in the mid-1960s and 1970s, when the Washington Color School thrived in D.C.’s art scene, there was a rising anti-technology sentiment among counter-culturalists and artists. Today, digital art reigns supreme – it’s almost rare to see contemporary art that hasn’t been manipulated in Photoshop 10.0. That being said, work in the Experimental Media Series is inspired by Color Field artists or serves as a twenty-first century reinterpretation of the movement.

Shown: Wobbe F. Koning, Multi Dimensional Eye Virus 2.2, 2006

META, whose piece stole Night #2 a few weeks ago, is an experimental artist who dabbles in "generative computational processes" and can blow your mind. He pairs mathematical abstraction (imagine the visual representation of algorithms) with arousing, warm digital rhythm. Kolveiler is a multicolored deluge of HTML color values, a kaleidoscopic motion picture of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, scored by a Casio chord gently humming in the background. At times, META’s work seems to come straight from the looms of traditional African raphia textiles and sometimes is suggestive of digitally rendered sand dunes; Kolveiler is perfect anthropological robot art.

If you are prepared for a flurry of pixels, doppler swirls, and muffled, synthesized sounds, don’t miss this last night of the Experimental Media Series. Night #3 will feature the work of Alan Callander, the favored winner of the project’s $500 Honorable Mention prize, along with 15 other favorite artists from the first two nights. Although some of the pieces chosen for Night #2 were little more than mildly amusing screensavers, if any of the selections for Night #3 are even close to META’s Kolveiler, it's worth attending. It's free and open to the public.

WPAC's Experimental Media Series - ColorField.remix, Night #3, will be held at The Frances and Armand Hammer Auditorium, Corcoran Gallery of Art (New York Avenue entrance), 500 Seventeenth Street NW.

I Am Adam: We used to have semi-regular meetups but the practice broke down for the usual reason: this is a big group, everybody's busy, & it's a PITA to coordinate people's schedules (weekday v. weekend, Wed. v. Thurs., etc.) & preferred locations (DC v. NoVA v. MD) & venues (cafes v. bars v. restaurants) & a decent turnout, so nobody wants to be the "cruise director" & without a regular organizer, things tend to not get done. Note: I am not volunteering to be the cruise director.

Tom O'Neill: Yes, we also used to have the occasional photowalk/location meetup. Why haven't we done 1 in a while? See above.

Sci-Fi Femme Fatales This Month at the Hirshhorn

Posted: June 12th, 2007, 4:25pm MDT by Ian Buckwalter

LBL_TAG_TAGS: dc Washington science scifi [LBL_TAG_EDIT]

The women of Venus want to once again experience a man's touch. A former Miss D.C. transcends all normal applications of the term "statuesque beauty". And Jane Fonda does what Jane Fonda does best: save the world. The Hirshhorn brings high camp into the realm of high art with the kickoff of their free "Summer Camp" film series this Thursday. The theme? The feisty, dangerous, and scantily-clad women of adolescent male fantasies 50s & 60s science fiction cinema.

Strong (but visually exploited) women run a pretty consistent thread through the world of sci-fi/fantasy. While the easiest examples can be found in any comic book store, pop culture at large still carries on the traditions of the classic B-movies. Princess Leia in the gold bikini is pretty much an iconic image at this point, and while Joss Whedon had Sarah Michelle Gellar put the "buff" into Buffy in later seasons, let's not forget that the first season of the series put the Slayer into an endless series of tight sweaters, mini-skirts and push-up bras.

Every Thursday for the rest of the month, the Hirshhorn screens classics of the genre, with more in-depth discussion of the phenomenon by film scholar David Wilt introducing each film. They also invite everyone to enjoy a BBQ sandwich by the Plaza Fountain before the screenings, to celebrate the "BarBarella-Q" series. It's up to you to provide the sandwich.

All screenings begin at 8 p.m., are free of charge, and run about an hour and a half.

The schedule:

June 14
Queen of Outer Space (1958)
Zsa-Zsa Gabor plays a Venutian scientist fighting against her Queen's plan to eradicate men from the solar system, one planet at a time. When three strapping American astronauts land on the planet, many other Venutian women can't help but agree that boys aren't all bad after all, and they must all overthrow the Queen before she destroys the Earth. Civil war was never so sexy.

June 21
Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958)
Allison Hayes, D.C.'s entry in the 1949 Miss America pageant and a star of local television in the early 50s, made a career out of schlocky drive-in fare with titles like The Unearthly and The Disembodied. None is more well known, though, than her turn as a five-story colossus with an axe to grind with her no-good cheater of a husband. Philanderers beware.

June 28
Barbarella: Queen of the Galaxy (1968)
While "Queen of the Galaxy" technically puts her at second in command to the "Queen of Outer Space", nobody puts Jane Fonda in a corner. Barbarella is one of the biggest cult hits of all time, spawning cultural reference points too numerous to count. She was spreading free love throughout the galaxy long before Tek Jansen came on the scene. You owe it to yourself to see the sexy results on the big screen before Robert Rodriguez updates this 401st century woman for the 21st century next year.
Cops on Segways: Hilarious, or Helpful?

Posted: June 1st, 2007, 4:00pm MDT by Sommer Mathis

LBL_TAG_TAGS: cops police segway Washington dc [LBL_TAG_EDIT]

Washington has had a love-hate relationship with the Segway for some time now. Certainly, they are useful modes of transportation -- who among us begrudges the UPS man, or even the tourists, from trying to zip around our city's streets in a more efficient manner? But at the same time, pretty much no matter what you do, if you're riding one, you look like a douchebag. This isn't to say the technology isn't cool, or that we all don't secretly want to try riding one, just that it's undeniable that it is impossible to look cool wearing a helmet and pressing lightly forward on as you roll silently forward on these contraptions.

Today the local media is awash in the news that the Metropolitan Police Department is adding 25 Segways to its neighborhood patrols, with ten more on the way. The Associated Press takes a respectful tone, acknowledging that police are hoping that the vehicles will help officers cover more ground while maintaining good relations and visibility in communities. If we had a nickel for every time a DCist commenter complained that D.C. police never get out of their squad cars and patrol on the sidewalks, we would be the wealthiest blog in the land. So should the Segway program prove to be a success, surely District residents would greet this development with shouts of approval. But the Post acknowledges the inherent humor involved with their headline, "Go Ahead, Chuckle." We may be glad to have more police out of their cars, but that doesn't mean we won't laugh at them.

Yet to be determined is where the D.C. Segway cops fall on the Embarassment Scale. Motorcycle cops are clearly the coolest, with those in squad cars a close second, but what about mounted police? Are Segway cops more or less geeky than bicycle cops? We suppose we'll just have to wait until we spy one for ourselves to decide.

Living in D.C.: Only Getting More Crazy Expensive

Posted: May 31st, 2007, 5:10pm MDT by Sommer Mathis

LBL_TAG_TAGS: dc living housing [LBL_TAG_EDIT]

An Examiner story this morning is designed to fill you with dread for the coming D.C. Pricepocalypse. According to a study released Wednesday by George Mason University professor Stephen Fuller, the average price of a home in the national capital region likely will swell almost 3,000 percent in 50 years. The study predicts the average home in the metro area will be $14 million in 2057, compared to today’s average of $477,000. As if your nightmares about never being able to afford to buy a home in D.C. weren't bad enough already.

The D.C. metro area in 50 years will likely look much like it does today, only much larger. 10 million people will live here, but that will be because we'll still have more good jobs than we can fill, which is why so many folks will still want to live here. The reason home prices will go up so high is that we'll never be able to build fast enough to keep up, so prices will rise more than incomes.

But Fuller's suggestion in the article that we'll all need to move into tiny apartments closer to our jobs seems like a pretty tough proposition to achieve. As Harriet Tregoning, director of D.C.’s Office of Planning, wisely explains, the ability to afford a home in the future will be inextricably linked with how long your commute is: "If you live far away from where you work, you are captive to gas prices. You have nowhere to go except back to the pump to fill up three or four times a week.” We've discussed some of these issues before, and wonder whether focusing on improving our transportation infrastructure, so that people will be able to commute on mass transit from more and more places, wouldn't be a more workable plan.

LBL_TAG_TAGS: dc music free concert [LBL_TAG_EDIT]

Summer is almost here, and that means it is almost time to roll up the carpets and send the Classical Music Agenda on vacation. So enjoy the music while you can. In particular, this is the last week to take in a performance of the best production from Washington National Opera this season, Janáček's Jenůfa. My review called this opera "essential viewing for anyone who cares about music drama." Performances remain only on Monday (May 21, 7 p.m.) and Thursday (May 24, 7:30 p.m.).

The writing needed is in the regs, thankfully. See link below. Metro leadership is clearly cognisant of the right to photograph (except at Pentagon station, see end note). And I'm willing to bet the vast, vast majority of Metro Transit Police are aware of those rights as well. We've got the right to click, but they do have the right to ask a few questions if/when they have a legitimate concern (spending a lot of time photographing into a tunnel's edge, for example, or if there's been some internal threat info. circulated). It probably comes down to how/why police deal with someone.

As for the earlier horror stories we've heard (a Metro employee telling someone they can't photograph the colorful newspaper boxes outside a station, something that was discussed here last year), that points to the need for a refresher for some employees as to the right to photograph. Anyways, here's the WMATA regs link (see Section 100.8 "Filming and Photography"):

www.wmata.com/about/parp_docs/UseRegulations.pdf

And for good measure, there have been some unfortunate incidents at Union Station, wherein private security guards have inaccurately informed photographers--including me--that we are not allowed to photograph beyond the main hall. Not true, from what I can gather. It's a public building owned by Amtrak with areas leased to the retail property management company. I'm pretty sure the retail property management company, nor its private security guards, set the rules regarding photography within this Amtrak (i.e. public) building with very public use. Link to the only language I could find re: Amtrak and photography:

www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Amtrak/am2C...

*NOTE* Photography may be restricted at the Pentagon station. From Deputy Chief Michael Daly: "...the Pentagon Metrorail station is on a federal reservation and has unique restrictions on photography. Since the MTPD does not exercise federal jurisdiction in Virginia, we do not enforce the federal regulations prohibiting photography on the Pentagon reservation, although the Pentagon Police may do so."

Go, Go, Google D.C. Taxi Maps

LBL_TAG_TAGS: maps taxi google dc wasington [LBL_TAG_EDIT]

Who needs government when we have Google?

Yesterday, we reported that DDOT's suggestion for a new and (slightly) improved D.C. Taxi Zone Map is being needlessly hamstrung by the lovely people over at the D.C. Taxicab Commission. They feel that city streets on the new map appear too bright and, you know, visible. Lucky for us, technology, in its quest to make the world as we know it obsolete, has intervened.

We stumbled upon this Google Maps mashup of the D.C. Taxi Zone Map, made using Google's new My Maps feature. The map is eminently readable, with zone boundaries that are clear and distinct from the streets, which are also clear. Why is it that one guy with a laptop can accomplish more in 20 minutes that an army of city officials and bureaucrats can in as many weeks?

Created by DCist operative El Greg, so far the project includes an overlay of the zone map on the Washington area. If you mapped directions between two points, you could figure out your cab fare pretty easily. Perhaps, when My Maps inevitably expands to include scripts and other advanced features, some industrious person will add a fare calculator or mobile access (not that we'd drop hints or anything...).

Artomatic Opens the Gates

Posted: April 13th, 2007, 10:30am MDT by Heather Goss

LBL_TAG_TAGS: artomatic dc art [LBL_TAG_EDIT]

Imagine a well-renowned D.C. glass artist, a gallery-experienced (and ColorField.remix contributor) abstract painter, and at least seven people we already know are pretty talented photographers putting their work next to mermaids made out of garage sale rejects and Tic Tac sculptures, and you'll start to get the essence of Artomatic. This chaotic jumble of an art fair where "Fire" gets its own category has infamously drawn ire from some of the city's fine art critics for the overstuffed effect that can cause good art to suffer behind the bad and the ugly. While in the other corner, D.C.'s art community cheerleaders continually applaud the sight of a show where anyone who can cough up the small entrance fee is given a soapbox to show the public what creative talent they might be hiding, and given credibility by the fine art gallery-sponsored artist in the identical space a few feet to their left.

Whatever definition you may have for "art," set it aside for a moment and take in Artomatic 2007, which celebrates with an opening this afternoon from 3 p.m. and on late through the evening. It's the only place you'll find confirmed talent like Laurel Lukaszewski (who we kind of adore) sitting next to, it's entirely possible, crap you'd regift in a heartbeat. It's this dichotomy and all-inclusiveness and terrible awesomeness that makes Artomatic an absolute must-see.

The show runs almost five weeks and is much more than a stand-alone exhibit. Check out their event calendar for a full listing that includes live music, film showings, workshops and theater. For the immersion, go tonight to see the Fire Performers, tons of bands and dancers, some street theater by Janan (who we saw earlier this week) and, oh yes, the 400 participating artists, almost all of whom are bound to be there showing off their work amid the cacophony.

Artomatic had a few false starts this time around. The typically every-other-year show hit a snag when they couldn't find a venue last year. Continued efforts by the event organizers started to pay off by winter, when a number of galleries offered to host works by selected participant artists in the spring. By February they were able to announce the large venue that would attempt to contain this raging art party, and cheers erupted throughout the city (while Blake Gopnik died just a little).

This year the show has taken over two floors of the former U.S. Patent and Trademark building at 2121 Crystal Drive, just a few short blocks from the Crystal City Metro. DCist never misses a good party (especially a FREE one), so we'll see you there tonight.
