Thursday, February 17: Why should Valentine’s Day only be one day, when the holiday can bring joy/ money all month long? Now February is chocolate month, and this Thursday is “Chocolate Lover’s Day,” but at least it means free chocolate: Urbana, Firefly, and other Kimpton Hotels will be giving out complimentary chocolates and wine on [...]
Valentine’s Day is just days after all the wingnuts’ convention in D.C. Could there be a connection between this massive get-together of heartless fools who love them some forcible rape (in the missionary position, of course) and the Pagan Day of Love? Nope, it’s just a coincidence! But once the wingnuts leave and Woodley Park/D.C. [...]
Wednesday, February 9: The USDA has just targeted its first fancy-food victim in the War on Fat: pizza. It turns out that a slice of American factory-franchise pizza is supposedly not good for you. But what about the gigantic triangular cheese slabs purchased on the vomit-crusted streets of Adams Morgan, or the slices served out [...]
What better drink to enjoy when you and yours snuggle on the couch to watch some good old-fashioned queeran burning this Saturday? PBR, of course!

Thursday, Feb. 12: DC Vegan is hosting an event at the Science Club to connect with vegans in the community. You don’t have to be a vegan to go, but, as their website says, you should have an interest in “animal rights” and “a little after-work fun.” Cash bar, 7PM. [DC Vegan Drinks]
The Connor Contemporary showcases the works of John Kirchner and Brandon Morse in a joint exhibit, “Unknowns” and “This Shape We’re In,” an exploration of decay and rebirth. Kirchner takes old oil paintings from unknown artists and adds commonplace things to them — an apple, a shirt — while Morse’s videos show structures breaking down [...]
The Chocolate Lovers Festival is happening this weekend, Feb. 7-8, in locations all over Fairfax. The events sound lame — a “friendship raffle,” a Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast, and something called “Scouts and Crafts” — but the concept of free chocolate completely overshadows embarrassment. Sexy Food Network celebrity chef and CakeLove Warren Brown will be at [...]
Wednesday, Jan. 28: J. Chocolatier, a D.C.-based brand of chocolates and candy, is throwing a tasting event at ACKC Cocoa Gallery at 6:30PM. You know what that means: free chocolate. [ACKC]
