"Hip Hop Violinist" Miri Ben-Ari is playing the Apollo tonight

Miri's New EPK


Wish I had known about this sooner. Miri Ben-Ari is playing the Apollo tonight. She's been featured in songs by Twista and Kanye, and has her own album featuring a number of artists. She is known as the "Hip Hop Violinist." She's also not a bad looking woman.

Gotta love when classical styles mix with the streets.

Tickets available Here.

Daily Throwback: Wale "Artistic Integrity"

Aight, before you jump on me about it, this is not exactly an old song. BUT, I'm stoked to go see Wale tonight (I'd put even money on Lady GaGa showing up in something ridiculous) and this song samples from Seinfeld, which is one of my (and Wale's) favorite shows and a definite throwback.

Enjoy

Tommy C on the Mic

For those of you who are unaffiliated, my boy Tommy C is rocking the mic tonight at DC Improv, debuting his comedy stylings in front of a live audience. This is the same place where Dave Chapelle got his start.

Renowned throughout the DMV for his karaoke skills, Tommy C has been studying the fine arts at DC Improv for a few months now, and this is his graduation into being funny.

Doors open at 7 PM, show starts at 8.

I know the Caps are in Game 7, but he's assured us to only go on when they are in half-time. Hockey has half-times right?

DC Improv is at 1140 Connecticut Ave N.W.

DMV alternatives to PEPCO: Clean Currents

If you live in the DMV, you no doubt have been screwed over more than once by PEPCO. I'm currently disputing a PEPCO bill and will have a formal hearing next month with the DC Public Service Commission.

After I resolve that, I plan to switch to Clean Currents.

Chesapeake Green (C-Green) is a new carbon neutral electricity option for people in the Chesapeake region. C-Green combines standard electricity from the Mid Atlantic grid (the PJM grid) with Renewable Energy Credits (“RECs” or “green tags”) from wind farms situated across the United States, bundled together and supplied by Washington Gas Energy Services, a licensed retail energy supplier in MD and DC. This bundled product helps fight global warming by offsetting the carbon emissions from your electricity use with clean, renewable wind power.

Chesapeake Green current rates are lower than Pepco AND BGE's Summer rates!

All you need is your Pepco or BGE account number! (Note: If you don't know your account number, you can find out by calling Pepco at 202-833-7500 or BGE at 1-800-685-0123.)

Utility Service Area
50% 1-Year 50% 2-Year 100% 1-Year 100% 2-Year
For Maryland BGE Customers 11.1¢ per kWh 11.2¢ per kWh 11.5¢ per kWh 11.8¢ per kWh
For Maryland Pepco Customers 11.2¢ per kWh 11.3¢ per kWh 11.7¢ per kWh 11.8¢ per kWh
For District of Columbia Pepco Customers 11.1¢ per kWh 11.1¢ per kWh 11.6¢ per kWh 11.6¢ per kWh

Clean Currents rates cover all Generation and Transmission charges. The rate is the same at all times for the length of your contract. Distribution is still a regulated market (you do not have a choice). Your Distribution charges will stay with the utility in your area (Pepco or BGE). Your utility is still responsible for the reliability of your power, power line maintenance, and billing.

100% wind power will be 0.5¢ less, 50% wind power will be 0.25¢ less per kWh during the duration of the program's funding.

By the way..................I'm WALE
