Wednesday, March 25: Go to K Street Lounge for a Good Cause tonight, and dress up in red, white and blue like Uncle/Aunt Sam, because why not? It is for this cause, Answer To Autos, which is pushing a “buy a car and bring it back if you go broke” plan to save the Economy, and the Auto Industry, and Your Credit should you buy a car and then get laid off. 9:30PM. [AnswerToAutos]
Saturday, Mar. 28: Boat cruises are usually reserved for senior citizens, but this Cherry Blossom Opening Weekend Lunch Cruise is too kitschy to pass up, especially if you’re going with your spring fling. 11:45AM, $40. [Craigslist]
Sunday, March 29: The American Cancer Society is hosting “Taste for Life,” a fundraising gala at the Ten Oaks Ballroom in Clarksville, MD.

Monday, March 30: Paying $150 for a night of gluttony to benefit hungry children seems very retroactive, yet it works. More than 40 of your favorite DC restaurants will be coming together (yet again) with fancy finger foods and cocktails for Share Our Strength’s “Taste of the Nation” touring fundraising event. 7PM, Andrew Mellon Auditorium. [Share Our Strength]
New: Comfort food in an old-tyme setting at General Store and Post Office Tavern, a.k.a. GSPOT, in Silver Spring. The restaurant serves classics like chicken and waffles (doused in something called “chicken-maple syrup”), meatloaf and pie. [Daily Candy]

Wait, how does someone from the Bay area call DC residents hipsters. How.
With adjectives.
