Goodbye, Interns!

It just so happened that I was working the Thursday night before our last official intern day on the job, so a nice solid group of 'terns came to visit me at Ventnor. It's always nice to have company!!!

For those of you who were unaware, it's back to brunette for me. I had had it with the "blonde" or highlights or whatever it was...and missed the dark hair. So easy to get it back! Just shell out some cash and voila!

The lovely Jen and me. Thanks for the pictures, Jen!

The Kennedy Center Interns received a very important email several days ago informing us of a once in a lifetime opportunity. Free tickets to the upcoming Ricky Martin concert at the Patriot Center for whoever wanted to go. Could this be true? Yes. It was, indeed. We all jumped at the chance.
We eagerly walk to the Patriot Center after parking the vehicles.


J-ho is excited. Very excited.



$7 beers for me and J-ho. You have to. It's part of the experience. And, plus, the tickets were free!


Ricky is beautiful. There, I said it. He really really is.


Sing it to me, Ricky!


And the party continued in the parking lot after the show. The traffic was so backed up that it enabled Erika and Alison to take dance breaks outside the vehicle.


And pop out of the sun roof.


All in all...it was a fantastic time.


Also, don't forget that our adorable Ricky is an advocate for children's rights. He launched into a long speech in the middle of his concert about it, as well. Could he be any cuter? Not likely. Check out his website at:

Another article published! This one is about a swing club in DC. And this time they also published this picture I took of my friend Eric dancing.... Oh, the perks of being my friend!!! Fame and fortune! Okay, well maybe just fame...

For a limited time you can read my first article on NBC4.com! I will be writing for the entertainment guide portion of their website called "DCScene", reviewing local establishments, restaurants, nightlife. It's fun, and I'm getting published!

Hanging with the Interns.

Lauriol Plaza after seeing shows at the Kennedy Center.
My friend Rachel, curly haired girl to my right, pointed out that in this picture I look like a dark Nubian princess next to a slew of translucent midwesterners. Notice I'm the only one showing my arms. It wasn't even very warm outside. Maybe I have issues.

Rachel was choking on her food a little.

These KC Interns are super nice.

the end.

The NAFTA dinner party. We're so extremely clever. All it takes it a little Canadian beer, some burritos, and some All-American Apple Pie. NAFTA.

Eric and Elif are thrilled.

Koffi is, too.

We didn't have a rolling pin, so Elif used a beer bottle. Genius, woman!

I made my first apple pie, with Elif's help. Ben said it was the best apple pie he's ever had.

Voila.


Emily and Molson's.

It was beautiful.
