 Little-Known Actress Finally Gets Big Break
TBH, we'd be totally fine skipping all the praying and loving for two hours of Julia Roberts eating gelato and spaghetti. Remake, anyone? In the meantime, join us on Tuesday, August 6 for our screening of the original Eat Pray Love--the final outdoor movie in this summer's Georgetown Sunset Cinema series. Movies start at sunset, but arrive early to get a good spot on the lawn at Georgetown Waterfront Park. RSVP through Facebook, and check out our Georgetown Sunset Cinema page for nearby food options. Thanks for another great summer movie series!

 We're Guessing He's the Cool Dad
Gordon Sterling’s early years as a singer-songwriter and guitarist were driven by the blind pursuit of virtuosity; blazing through one song after the next. As time marched on, the process slowed down. In this week's byGeorge blog, the frontman for Gypsy Sally's (3401 K St NW) house band Gordon Sterling and The People shares how his music has matured into something far more personal, what it was like growing up with a Jamaican amateur DJ for a father, and why he wouldn't necessarily encourage his daughter to follow in his footsteps.

This Saturday, August 3, is the official grand opening, full of amazing free events from 10 am - 8 pm. After some morning mimosas, stick around for a build-your-own-succulent bar, then enjoy beer, BBQ and custom cookies with beats from DJ Kryptk, before ending the evening with a cocktail and chocolate tasting. Visit their website to RSVP, and learn more about the 100 makers featured at the new pop-up shop.
