Hey, Ponies! We’ve been talking about it. You already have your tickets (we hope), because this Saturday is 2001: A Space Party! The National Air & Space Museum, no tourists, with Stanley Kubrick’s set, here in our nation’s capital where the movie had its original premiere fifty years ago. Even if you haven’t seen it … space. party. See you there!
All sorts of great stuff:
• We interviewed Simon Birch, creator of the Barmecide Feast. See it before everyone else in D.C. this Saturday at our party.
• Look at hundreds of photos of costumed folks from last weekend’s Awesome Con.
• Look at photos of blue skies and kites.
• We profiled Travis Pietsch and asked what it’s like to be a working artist in D.C.
• Our new tattoo series, DC Ink, went inside Jinx Proof.
• We asked Supra’s Jonathan Nelms for a Drink Diary. It’ll make you want to visit Georgia. The country.
• RADIORADIORADIO: Listen to BYT radio! Hosted by Brandon Wetherbee, it streams every Thursday at noon. Listen live. Subscribe in iTunes.
