Big Read Architecture (Green) - Sunday


I've missed out on a lot of the Arlington Reads Green stuff this year, which is too bad because they highlighted some good books with some cool activities this year. I've been to busy muddling my way through the 800 page gigantic biography of Che Guevera - next time I decide to tackle a book like that, remind me about the History Channel. Not that the book isn't interesting, it's just taking me FOREVER!!


But I digress ... anyways, this event requires no advanced reading, but does mesh with the Arlington Reads Green theme. Here's the 411:


Sunday, June 3, 2 PM
Big Dig Architecture Talk
Central Library auditorium
John Hong and Jinhee Park, principals of Single Speed Design in Cambridge, Massachusetts, discuss their environmentally progressive approach to design. Using materials reclaimed from Boston's Big Dig project, Hong and Park designed the stunning contemporary Big Dig House and an award-winning Big Dig Building.
Please call 703/228-5990 or 0322 for more information.

Saturday: ACE Hike & Happy Hour

Four years ago, the first-ever ACE Hike & Happy Hour took place at Potomac Overlook Regional Park. A total of four people went on the hike -- The Green Miles, my roommate, and our hike leaders. And I wouldn't have been there if my roommate hadn't dragged me out of bed (I had a wicked hangover and it was pouring rain).

Despite the rain, Arlington County Board Member Barbara Favola showed up to welcome the hikers. We told her she didn't have to hike through the mud with us psychos, an offer she graciously took us up on. The next year, we got sun and a slightly better turnout -- about 10 people.

But last year, we moved the location to Roosevelt Island, and suddenly it was hip to hike. I guest blogged about here at What's Up Arlington (this was wayyyyy back in June 2006, before mild-mannered Miles became The Green Miles). Over 40 people came out for the birding tour of Roosevelt Island and the happy hour at Continental.

We spotted a hawk at Roosevelt Island, who was spontaneously dubbed Bernie the Hawk by The Green Girlfriend, prompting this exchange:
ME: Why Bernie?
HER: It's a nice name.
How can you argue with logic like that?

This year we're sticking with the Roosevelt Island/Contintenal combination, but we're shifting the focus of the hike from birding to invasive plants. Here are all the details:

4th Annual Hike & Happy Hour
Saturday, June 2, 5:00 to 6:30 p.m.
Rosslyn

In honor of National Trails Day, join ACE to explore the invasive plants of Teddy Roosevelt Island with Arlington County's Invasive Program Manager, Jan Ferrigan. Learn how to identify some common invasive and native plants. Teddy Roosevelt Island is accessible from GW Parkway North, on the Mount Vernon bike path, and a three-quarters of a mile walk from Rosslyn Metro. Click here for directions. We'll meet in the parking lot by the footbridge.

After the hike, meet at 6:30 p.m. at
Continental in Rosslyn for happy hour. While the hike is for all ages, Continental is 21+. A $10 donation at the happy hour is suggested with proceeds to benefit local conservation efforts. For more information: 703-228-6406 or volunteer@arlingtonenvironment.org.

Hope to see you there!

All the Arlington News You Care About - 5/25

Does the Post have a Clarendon bias?
Should I-66 be widened?
What do you think about the new pizza place Cafe Pizzaiolo?
What about the redevelopment plans for Crystal City?

Interesting stuff this week, I'd love to hear your comments.


Mike DeBonis and Erik Wemple (City Paper) take issue today with the Washington Post’s fascination with all things Clarendon. The reporters, targeting the Post’s recent front-page feature on boomers flocking to Clarendon, complain that over the year’s, the Post has written stories about virtually every demographic loving Clarendon. The Post, the reporters say, seems to think that Clarendon is great for EVERYONE. Read more.

Scott McCaffrey (Sun-Gazette) writes that the upscale Indian cuisine of Sangam Restaurant took top honors at Taste of Arlington in Ballston this weekend for the second year in a row. Read more.

Hegstad also wrote that the first public forum on conceptual plans for the redevelopment of Crystal City got mixed reviews. Read more.
David Schultz (Arlington Connection) wrote about plans to widen I-66. He quoted County Board Member Chris Zimmerman. Read more.
Nancy Lewis (Washington Post) gives a glowing review today to a new pizza restaurant in South Arlington, Cafe Pizzaiolo. The restaurant boasts “clay- oven-baked pizza good enough to walk there for, even on the muggiest day,” Lewis wrote. Read more.

Review: Alternative Transportation Expo

First, the seeming irony: I drove alone to the Alternative Transportation Expo.

So why is it not necessarily ironic/hypocritical? Alternative transportation is not about never driving anywhere. We all have to drive sometimes. Alternative transportation is about making good transportation choices to maximize convenience and cost savings.

The Alternative Transportation Expo, held at the Walter Reed Community Center and sponsored by ACE, made me realize I wasn't taking advantage of some opportunities right under my nose. For example, I'm a big fan of Arlington Cinema & Drafthouse and the nightlife of Shirlington, but I hate driving there, because I'm also a big fan of drinking. So why haven't I been taking the bus, whose stop is probably 150 feet from my front door?

I talked about different bus options with the Mobile Commuter Store consultant, and it seemed like the best advice was to plan trips using Metro's website. Why? Many bus routes are geared towards commuters, and many cut off long before the projector stops at the Drafthouse. WMATA.com can sort out the different routes and schedules for me.

Since I just started a new job in Reston, I also checked out NuRide.com, a ride share matching service. I'd love to find someone else who lived in Ballston and worked in Reston so I wouldn't have to be the one behind the wheel on I66 every day. But I signed up and so far it doesn't seem like many people have joined for NuRide -- my only ride share options live way up on Lee Highway or out in Alexandria.

There are lots of features to tailor your potential carpool to your needs -- distance, nonsmoking, even limits on people deemed sketchy by fellow carpoolers -- so if you're open to the idea of splitting a ride, sign up!

Review: ACE Organic Wine Tasting

I went into this year's Arlingtonians for a Clean Environment Organic Wine Tasting as a skeptic. Why? Because I'd attended last year's Organic Wine Tasting, and honestly, I wasn't all that impressed by any of the wines.

But this year, my reaction was almost the opposite -- all of them were at least decent and several were excellent. We tasted three whites, three reds, and a dessert wine. My favorite was the Meditrina, a mix of Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Zinfandel.

The tasting was presented by The Curious Grape, a great wine and cheese shop in Shirlington. You don't have to be some kind of a wealthy connoisseur to enjoy it. I'm no wine expert and I'm definitely a bargain shopper, so I appreciate that they have clear descriptions of the wines and a wide range of prices, from high-end to good values. And even if you don't buy anything, they're usually giving out free tastes, so it's worth stopping by.

Sunday in Ballston: Taste of Arlington

The annual Taste of Arlington event takes place in Ballston this Sunday on Wilson Boulevard in front of Ballston Common Mall! There are at least 30 restaurants participating, including some of my favorites like Carlyle and Tallula.

Alternative Transportation Expo - 5/15

If you read my recent post on Fresh Aire, you know I'm a big fan of riding Metro, including the Metro bus --- I know, doesn't seem as glamourous, but really it's cool, it's easy, and it gives me a chance to read. I've also recently been debating giving up my car and going the FlexCar route. So, even though this may not sound like the most "fun" event in the world, I'm excited to go and check out my options for gettin' around with the least environemental impact.

.... live blogging update ....

I just flipped over to The Green Miles to read about his experiences with trying to give up his precious Knight 2000, uh, I mean Saturn, and it turns out he's writing about this same event ... Great minds think a like right!

Anyway, no need to reinvent the wheel, so without further ado, here, directly copied blantatly plagarized from The Green Miles, here are the details of this event:

To Do: 1) Tuck shirt in 2) See art 3) Sip organic wine

Friday night at 7:30pm, the Arlington Arts Center will host the 2nd Annual Organic Wine Tasting to benefit Arlingtonians for a Clean Environment! The Curious Grape will be presenting the wines, paired with organic cheese and chocolate.

It'll be a double feature of sorts -- you can get an up-close look at the newly-renovated Arts Center and sample some world-class organic wines, which can be really hard to find.

Proceeds from the event will benefit ACE, an organization shamelessly touted here because I'm a longtime board member and an even longer-time volunteer. ACE relies heavily on donations from our supporters to fund our environmental events, educational programs, and outreach efforts like the Green Living Challenge. Every contribution counts!

You can reserve your tickets online now. Hope to see you there!

Putting the FUN in FUNdraiser



I'm not always a huge fan of fundraisers. Why? Becuase they generally cost too much. I'd much rather just give money to the causes I support. But, perhaps that's just my issue.

Anyways, there are a couple events comming up that didn't make the newsletter for various reasons, but if you're looking for something fun to do and looking to support a local cause, these are three good bets.





  1. Organic Wine Tasting - May 11 (tomorrow!). Now, here's an event that sounds like fun. It violates my too pricey rule ($50), but it's probably worth it, plus you support a great organzation - Arlingtonians for a Clean Environment.


  2. Special Screening of classic film The Red Shoes - May 10 (tonight!) -- From the website:




BMD presents a special fundraiser screening of the 1947 classic motion picture The Red Shoes. "The most popular movie ever made about the ballet and one of the most enigmatic movies about anything. The film is voluptuous in its beauty and passionate in its storytelling. You don’t watch it, you bathe in it." wrote Roger Ebert of this in his "The Great Movies" complilation. This movie canot be seen on the big screen anywhere else! For just $25 you can see this classic plus take part in a post-screening panel discussion featuring seven of the areas foremost experts on dance including George Jackson, Andrea Snyder (Dance/USA), Kim Tomadjoglou (AFI), Jeff Edwards (Washington Ballet), Lucy Bowen McCauley, and Lourdes Barden (Kirov Academy).We are also offering a pre-show light supper where you can meet the panel and some of the BMD company members for only $50.







3. Greenbrier Takes the Stage - May 18th - I confess, I wasn't particularly excited about this one, but Erin, the fabulous director of the Greenbrier Learning Center, convinced me that there would be a lot of 20s/30-somethings there and it would be a good way to start the evening in Ballston with plenty of time to go out before or after. And if nothing else, you've supported a really good cause. Plus, it doesn't have the too pricey ($5) issue that I've been complaining about.


Here are the details from the press release:





The Educational Theatre Company (ETC), a non-profit educational arts organization, and the Greenbrier Learning Center (GBLC), a community-based organization providing after-school programs, have partnered to present Greenbrier Takes the Stage. The Comedy Spot, located in the Ballston Common Mall, has donated its stage for use by our programs.



For this performance, ETC teaching artists Sasha Olinick and Kristy Greeneradapted two children’s books, Many Moons by James Thurber, and The Dragon Prince by Laurence Yep, for a stage performance by students at Greenbrier’s two elementary after-school programs. Students rehearsed twice a week for two months, and created the show through participation in theater games, improvisation, and story telling.



The performance will take place at The Comedy Spot in the Ballston Common Mall on Friday, May 18, 2007 at 7:30pm. Tickets are a suggested donation of $5, and all proceeds will go towards the Greenbrier Learning Center’s after-school programs.

Arl. Cinema & Drafthouse: I'm Gonna Need Ya to Come in on Thursday

Arlington Cinema & Drafthouse is hosting its Bi-Annual TPS Report Managers Meeting (a.k.a. the Office Space Movie Festival) on Thursday starting at 7pm! For $7, you get:

7pm: DJ Video Mix featuring songs from the movie
7:45pm: Trivia contest

8pm: Lumbergh impersonation contest
8:10pm: "O" face contest
8:20pm: Costume contest
8:30pm: Office Space starts
If you've never been to the Drafthouse, this is a great excuse to check it out. I honestly prefer to wait for the big blockbusters to come to the Drafthouse before seeing them. That way, if they're a disappointment (I'm looking at you, Spider-Man 3) you're only out $5 instead of $10. And really, any movie is better when there are chili fries and beer involved.

The Drafthouse also plays an important role in the Arlington community. It's locally owned, and is constantly hosting neighborhood events like
DC Idol, so it's worth supporting.

So if you could just go ahead and make sure you do that from now on, that will be great. And, uh, I'll go ahead and make sure you get another copy of that memo, mmmkay?

Arlington Events In Local Blogs


It's always nice to see Arlington events picked up by other blogs. Here are some recent highlights:



  • The DC Traveler wrote about the upcoming Crystal Rocks concert with the Gin Blossons




This is the kind of work that inspires the corners of your mouth to turn up,
just a little, if it doesn’t inspire your brow to furrow. Unfortunately, much of
the work in the Spring Solos inside doesn’t fair much better. Of the eight
artists inside, there are just a handful attractive highlights


But on the other hand,



But, it is a beautiful mess of white, gold, and purple clays, extracted from various locales in and around the greater Washington area, which will continue to evolve until its de-installation late September. Should the rains continue to be hard in what remains of the spring, it might be worth it to visit Dis/Integration periodically. Take a football from Cory Wagner while you are at it. Give more than your two cents.


The Washington Post, however, disagreed.


Of the six artists featured in "Spring Solos 2007," the Arlington Arts Center's annual juried exhibition of one-gallery shows, two are favorites of mine. Yet beyond the biomorphic beadwork of Gail Gorlitzz and a video installation by Katherine Kavanaugh (frankly, outshone by her oversize screen prints of lips on thick felt panels), I was most pleasantly surprised by the work of Ephraim Russell.




It’s refreshing to watch a take on Animal Farm that is less about
heavy-handed political posturing and much more about artistic expression. That’s
what we have in Synetic
Theater's
latest, a production that incorporates multi-media accents,
impressive choreography and most of all amusing and effective anthropomorphic
performances from their team of farm residents.
