Find Some Fishwrap!

Pick up today's City Paper to see my feature on artDC. Why did some organizations get a different quote for booths than others? And why do the directors of the fair plan to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in this outing? How the hell is that going to work? Answers (to the first two questions) are available on newsstands and online now.

This weekend, I'll be blogging at City Desk* from the fair. I don't know yet what I'll have to say, but I think the first post will be about al Qaeda in DC. So keep an eye over there. (I'll crosspost using my nifty del.icio.us sidebar widget.)

Now, there appears to have been a shooting and possible murder on my block. I know this because a police officer deputized Wreck while I was walking him. "Could you take your dog around and sniff for clues?" (Clues? What the hell does a clue look like? Could you capture the assailant first? You did see this dog, right?) So I'm going to try to avoid being the day's second as I walk to meet Sommer and venture over to the art fair.

* To my DCist friends, who ask whether they have to stop slogging on City Desk: Who reads DCist? Big Head Rob is clobbering y'all.
