The Plume is Off the Rose
Vodpod videos no longer available.
People really waited five hours for that? Wow. It’s amazing what a few “accidental” rumors about a giant 2 minute long fireball will do to people’s attentions span…

Hook Doubles Down On Restaurant Week
Restaurant week runs until Sunday the 22nd, but for Georgetown’s Hook, it’ll keep on going until March 1st. Times are tough in the restaurant business, and anything that remotely pumps up demand like Restaurant Week is going to be squeezed for all its worth.

Celebrate Washington’s Birthday at Tudor Place
Tudor Place was built in 1805 by the granddaughter of Martha Washington (i.e. the step-granddaughter of our first president). To celebrate George Washington’s birthday today, Tudor Place is holding a celebration of our presidents:
Celebrate our country’s Presidents at Tudor Place. Families enjoy an interactive tour of the 1816 mansion and children’s crafts, including an art workshop with Tudor Place Artist-in-Residence Peter Waddell.  George Washington’s 1775 letter to Martha Washington will be on public viewing for this day only. The letter, written on the eve of Washington’s departure from Philadelphia to take command of the Continental Army, reveals the human and sentimental side of this revered hero. Martha Washington herself will read the letter at 11:00! After the reading, join Martha for a traditional tea ceremony featuring her famous pound cake! Artifacts and manuscripts from other Presidents will also be on view.
Sure, Mount Vernon would seem to be a more appropriate place to celebrate Washington, but that’s all the way down in Virginia! Why not take in one of Georgetown’s most elegant estates instead.
(Hint to Dumbarton Oaks: This is the sort of event that good neighbors do).

Celebrate Georgetown’s Scottish Roots
As discussed ad naseum, much of Georgetown’s land was once owned by a Scotsman named Ninian Beall. Because of him, just about every other thing in this neighborhood is named after a huge rock in the River Clyde in Scotland. So it’s fair to say that Georgetown has Scottish roots, as far as those things go. So why not celebrate those roots this weekend and hold your own Burns Supper?
Georgetown’s Inaugural Balls

Most of us are probably sick and tired of all the inaugural festivities before they even begin. But if you still have the energy, the lack of plans, and a desire to keep local, what are you to do? Well GM has identified three Georgetown balls (well, two Georgetown balls and one “Georgetown” ball) that you might be interested in. Find out more after the jump:
