Hot Country Style - Mumbo Sauce - 906 H ST NE 11-6 thru Sunday.
This past week, I’ve been having a heated online discussion and it somehow morphed into a portion of a well thought out article by Kriston Capps at City Paper about our show called MUMBO SAUCE at Contemporary Wing’s temporary gallery at 906 H ST NE 11-6 thru Sunday. Please read an enjoy.

I somehow missed this, I have to say it makes me misty eyed to know some current students love the beautiful Corcoran building, as do I.
Beautiful.
Students arrive at the Corcoran Wed 10/10 to an unavoidable piece of protest art. At around 11 AM the artwork is taken down by operations, who liked the piece, but were following orders from the provost. Reblog and help spread awareness of students’ opposition to the sale of the Corcoran building.

During the 1980s, Washington’s go-go and punk scenes adhered to different sets of cultural rules, yet both shared a staunchly DIY approach.

Panelists include Trouble Funk’s “Big” Tony Fisher, Rare Essence’s Andre “Whiteboy” Johnson, longtime Washington music writer Mark Jenkins, former D.C. Police detective Donald “Goose” Gossage, and Gangster George, a former member of the Gangster Chronicles crew.
