My Music Collection is Vast…I must admit I haven’t given a lot of DC artist a chance. I’m slowly changing though. I really wish i could make it out to this event. Phil ade has a lot of buzz….I wouldn’t call it buzz anymore. He is getting to be a big thing around dc. I have heard a few of his songs and a few videos…but i’m so old fashioned and studdorn it takes a lot for me to download new CD’s and music on my iPod. Anywho the concert is May 5th…i know Cinco De Mayo. I’m going to try and stop by but i have my Cinco De Mayo Duties to a tend to!

It was really sad to see how many stores and restaurants  that are landmarks in Georgetown shutting down.

We walked around and window shopped!  Had so much fun!

I had to give a shout out to Spring first! I got a mani with a new creamy green color.  I got my toes in this color also…I’m so in love with it.

We ended up at Paolos a great Italian Spot that has the best Spicy Fried Calamari!  Didn’t get that this time.

Ken and I…In all my glory. No make-up!! 

Green Polish!!! Woooo

Don’t know what this is called, but I ended up getting Sangria afterwards…both equally yummy.

Yummy Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza!

MARCH TICKET SPECIAL!
Shecky’s Goodie Bag + General Admission*:
$25 $15 with code MADNESS10 (’til 3/26)
$35 at the Door

Ladies I went here last year and had a blast. Free Drinks all night (must be 21 to enter). Freebies, and a ton on local and none local vendors. I got so much loot the last time I was there. Not to mention the GoodBags…They deserve a post of their own. I’m still using the products from my goodie bag from last year.

Purchase your tickets! I’m going on Thursday April 15th. Hope to see you there.

I’m working on becoming a Sheckys Socialista…I guess my application wasn’t submitted like I though.

Anyway. My friend Dana is a Socialista so if you get a ticket there is a section that ask how were you referred, the drop down box should have Socialista there, and then you type in her name. >>>Dana James
