This outstanding post is a Q&A interview of a remarkable woman, Kimberly Wilson, a former paralegal who opened a yoga studio in Dupont Circle. Wilson, who is also a blogger, has a book coming out this fall, Hip Tranquil Chick. Her story fits the mission of Creative DC, which explores this city’s creative life. It’s an inspiring story that begins:
Kimberly Wilson is proof that you can take an idea - a dream, even - from concept to reality. Seven years ago, this former paralegal became so inspired by yoga that she began teaching classes in her living room; now, without any formal business training, she runs a popular Dupont Circle studio, along with a clothing line and more.Also Noted
Concerning this post, On Clichés and Changes by Dealing in Subterfuges, Reya sent a note about it and hopefully she won’t mind seeing part of it here: .. today's post is different in mood from the usual biting cynicism of Jordan Baker. It brought a tear to my eye.
Spread the misery on June 11, which is Citywide Amplified Free Speech Day. That means: On Sunday, June 11, a small contingent of neighbors from the 700 block of 8th Street NE will gather at a corner in Georgetown NW to exercise the right to free speech and the right to make all the noise we desire using a very loud, battery-powered amplifier. Our group will be blasting amplified free speech near a residential area at the corner of Wisconsin and N Streets NW from 3-5:00 p.m. Here’s the equipment. This concerns a chronic complaint about street preaching near H NE. Quest for Quiet. This has the makings of a sad scene. Story and background here: Voice of the Hill and Frozen Tropics.
The little league coach of a team of 6-year-olds writes: There are a dozen six-year olds that I see twice a week that call me coach. I got a great group this year. They're awkward, wide-eyed, and have about as much balance and body control as Oprah falling down a flight of greased stairs .... By Throwing Hammers.
Not yet: Pedicabs in DC, but here’s a link to a franchiser. At The Wash Cycle.

I don't mind - but - what I also said is that Jordan Baker is so good and so consistent, you could note her blog every day!
KOB is correct when describing hours and hours of amplified noise as a "sad scene." Each and every Saturday afternoon is "Sad Saturday" for the residents living in and around the 700 block of 8th Street NE, who have no choice but to be blasted by the amplifier.
Thanks for the metion, KOB - always fun to see my little thugs in the headlines!
Wow, it's beyond nice to hear stuff like this after a few das when I've been feeling horribly inconsistent. Many thanks to you and Reya.
And there should, of course, have been a "y" in days.
thanks SO much for the mention. delighted to hear that you enjoyed the interview and i hope it serves to inspire fellow washingtonians seeking a creative outlet in a conservative (not in the politico sense) town! this city offers a ton of resources for making things happen personally and professionally.
