Where we talk about stuff (happening in and around D.C.) we didn’t always write about but is still something you may care to get all riled about.

• First of all, let’s begin with FREE FOOD. Yocake opens today in Dupont and is giving away free cupcakes and frozen yogurt to the first 1,000 customers!! (Should you miss out on getting there first, you can get 50% off cupcakes and frozen yogurt the rest of the day.)
  
• Did D.C. hide its homeless during Inauguration? By asking shelters to open during the daytime (a practice only utilized in freezing conditions), one has to wonder why they chose the 21st specifically…
• Sweetgreen is launching a free fitness program with local studios like SculptDC and Lava Barre. Get with the program and get more details here.
  
  
• In sadder food news, Julia’s Empanadas closed its Columbia Heights location today. 🙁
• Unrelated to that last tidbit, here’s video of a lady doing drugs out of her purse on the Metro:
  
• Apparently this morning was D.C.’s coldest in the last four years…
• And finally, here are the orangutans at the National Zoo playing the harp (on an iPad). Because apparently there’s a program called “Apps for Apes.”

Todd Glass @ DC Improv Lounge

$20

Todd built a three-decade comedy career by learning all the rules -- then finding the funniest ways to break them. His mix of classic stand-up and off-the-wall behavior has made him a pioneer on the alternative comedy scene, and a favorite in the industry. (Just check out the guests he lands for his hit podcast, “The Todd Glass Show.”) He’s back in our lounge this December for his signature “intimate evenings.”
