(6) Plenty of residential parking (2 hours during daytimes) also available
along Harrison St and on the next block East along 42nd St at Harrison
St NW behind Fox 5 News.
Also, before we go any farther....nobody
asked for my opinion...BUT...
HOW
MANY MORE INNOCENT AMERICANS MUST
DIE OR BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE
WE
STOP ALL CELL PHONE DRIVING
IN THE US?
Not one of the 60,000+
deaths or 250,000+ injuries in America in 2008 resulting from texting
and talking on the phone is worth any one of those phone calls or
text messages; not to mention the hundreds of thousands that have
taken place since. This is not just a teenager problem or a commercial
truck or bus driver problem, this is a serious problem and an ongoing
danger to innocent people that involves EVERY SINGLE DRIVER in this
country. So why are we still pondering over the use of cell phones
while driving in the US? DC and several states have already wisely
and responsibly outlawed the use of all cell phones while driving
and now it needs to be a national restriction. Are we going
to continue allowing the lobbyists of the wealthy phone companies
to continue to rule congress in America, or are we each going to stand
up to the plate and do something about it?
Please commit to making
any automobile
that you're riding in an official
Visit
www.StopAllCellPhoneDriving.org
to learn how you can help
to eliminate this deadly obsession from America's highways. Keep in
mind
that the next life that is lost (and there will be MANY before we
stop this
irresponsible practice) may well be your life or the life of someone
you love.
And I hope
you were able to see my first 'World Premiere" at
the Kennedy Center (OK,
so maybe it wasn't actually MY World Premiere...except for the Tango
choreography, including a "searing Tango" between Tom Buchanan
and Gatsby as depicted by The Washington Post... "[Artistic Director
Septime] Webre does a tremandous job at keeping the ballet in motion.
A searing Tango spells out the danger between Gatsby and Tom")
Wed, Feb 24 - Sun, Feb 28 Tango in 'The Great Gatsby' at the Eisenhower
Theatre of the Kennedy Center
(Wednesday's
performance is completely sold out and tickets for all evening performances
are limited).
A Tango scene was added late in the makings of the World Premiere
of 'The Great Gatsby' performed by the Washington Ballet at the Kennedy
Center, to include both Argentine and International style choreographed
by Rene' Davila and Terry Chasteen. One more opportunity to get our
beloved Tango into the mainstream theatre through what promises to
be a groundbreaking new musical. Times and ticket Information available
at www.TangoDanceSPORT.com
, www.DanceDirt.com

'The Great Gatsby', a World Premiere about to hit the stage of the
Eisenhower Theatre at the Kennedy Center from Feb 24-28 is a Secret
of DC about to be unleashed. This incredibly fun-filled musical of
the Roaring 20's era performed by the 'Washington Ballet' under the
guidance of artistic director Septeem Webre is LOADED with some of
the most incredible song and dance numbers of nearly every style,
including tap, Charleston, jazz, Swing and more PLUS
an Argentine, International AND American style
Tango scene co-choreographed by Rene' Davila and YOURS TRULY! Our
first World Premiere!
"The Washington Ballet returns to the splendor of the Jazz Age
and the frivolity of the Roaring Twenties through Artistic Director
Septeem Webre's re-imagining of F. Scott Fitzgerald's passionate,
thought-provoking, and complex work". Visit www.DanceDirt.com
