Ghibellina: Gamberi e Polenta
Tried a new place for brunch a few weekends ago, Ghibellina on 14th St NW. Had a lovely shrimp and polenta dish and overall enjoyed the experience. Would definitely head back for another visit.

Yayoi Kusama, “Infinity Mirrors”
Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors at the Hirshhorn was the hottest art ticket in town and after weeks of trying, I finally managed to snag some passes.
Ten Years On…
Just thinking about 2007 now that we’re ten years on from it. I’m moderately more of an adult now than I was then, but I miss a little bit of my carefree shenanigans and not feeling weighed down by everything.

For merely being in the room, they were arrested.
