Vote for Dwellings in the Washington Post's 2006 Best Bets (and more!)

Do it now and do it often! If you haven't yet been to Dwellings, try to stop by this weekend. The owner, Roz Moore, and her staff are extremely helpful and kind, the products are lovely, and the prices are very reasonable (I wouldn't be surprised if you've seen a number of their accessories at other boutiques for twice the price). What a gem on 12th Street!

While I'm in endorsement mode, sneak a vote or three in for Washington Improv Theater. I've been a WIT student and volunteer - and soon to be class TA - for over a year-and-a-half. In that time I've made a number of great friends, reclaimed my "funny," and gained confidence I knew was hiding in me somewhere. Looking ahead, I'm partnering with their staff to fulfill their mission in the community by sharing the gifts of improv with local youth.

And, finally, take a look at the Best of Washington, DC Shop run by Brooklander dc gal. A comprehensive online shop for DC merchandise and political gear - t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, ringers, baseball jerseys, tote bags, messenger bags, mugs, stickers, teddy bears, and more. Look no further for your neighborhood gear....
