Saturday, February 26: Though you may prefer to spend your Saturday nights at a Beer Palace, sequestered in darkness and glazed in booze, there’s nothing wrong with doing something a little bit different this Saturday. Like learning about vaginas, for charity! V-Day D.C. will be performing The Vagina Monologues Saturday at 3PM and again at 7PM at the Universalist National Memorial Church. Tickets are $10. [Vagina Monologues] - Wednesday, March 2: Attention suit- and sneaker-wearing ladies of D.C.: May we recommend the Worn Magazine happy hour? True, you may emerge from the event unable to breathe in your new skinny jeans, but that’s what fashionistas are for. Trust them. The happy hour is from 6-8PM at the Gibson. $5. [Worn Magazine]
- Worldly Eats: Don’t bother going to Mexico, the Middle East, or to our mini-Egypt over in Wisconsin; you’ll probably get kidnapped, murdered or featured on the teevee, maybe! Instead, let these cities come to you. Want a Margarita? Bobby Lew’s Saloon is giving out FREE margaritas today, February 24. Morocco may go soon, so go enjoy some Moroccan food at Marrakesh Palace in the West End. In need of cheese? La Fromagagerie is a specialty cheese shop that serves artisanal cheeses from the Mid-Atlantic region in addition to the fancy Euro stuff. Said and done. [What’s the Deal Happy Hour, Marrakesh Palace/La Fromagerie]
- Food To Look Forward To: Toledo Lounge in Adams Morgan will soon be a miniature beer palace; Columbia Heights’ Rapidly Gentrifying Strip will soon have a 4,000-square-foot sports bar, but it will only have 14 high-definition teevees, and another Jewish deli is coming to Bethesda, just around the corner from the other Jewish deli in the area. [Toledo Lounge via Washington City Paper/Lou’s City/Bubby’s New York Deli]
- Food Trucks: Party buses may be douche-y, but buses that serve pork, this is an entirely different story. More importantly, why aren’t all food trucks actually food buses? [BBQ Bus]
- Doughnuts are the new cupcake: Poor D.C. Even if we think we’re doing well by a trend, New York is still doing it better. According to the hard hitting journalists at the New York Times, “New York is living through a flowering in the doughnut arts.” Doughnut ARTS, you got that? Get it together D.C. Oh, side note: before the yuppies got their hands on them, the Times already dismissed doughnuts as an entirely worthless food. [New York Times]

That certainly is a bold list of bullet points.
Careful—the next Wonkabout might be in ALL CAPS.
I'm not attending the Vagina Monologues. It was nasty when Barbara Bush made her guest appearance and when ask to describe her vagina as if it were a natural disaster and she called it a "mudslide"
Vaginas in church — vaginas in church — this is obviously some sort of trick.
"It's a trap!"
They should invite Sarah Plain to appear in the Vagina Monologues. Gosh know, that c**t can talk up a storm.
I think it would be more of a soliloquy than a monologue…
I was thinking more like slapstick.
Lipstick, sweetie. Lipstick.
The Vagina Word Salad.

A perfect 3-for-3! Too bad I'm in the land of superior donuts and so none of these are applicable to me.
You don't have to bold this shit to remind me how retarded my city of Columbia, SC is.
You know what's fucked up? I would rather ride all day on a Metro than be in this stinkhole full of entertaining crap like writing up antigay legislation and celebrating antiunion white heritage.
Barbara Bush-Vagina? MUST …..FIND….. BRAIN….. BLEACH…..!!!!!!!
There is evidence that she kept her fetuses in a jar, so maybe…
True enough, prolly has a Cloaca.
I'd go to the event at the Universalist Memorial National Church this Saturday to support the idea of vaginas, but ventriloquist acts have never done it for me.
BBQ Bus seems like a cutesy capitoolist ploy. Have you tried Mr. P's ???
A barrel of fucking monkeys, no doubt.
