Lots of good legal wrangling today in the Robert Wone case. A District Court D.C. Superior Court judge agreed that the three roommates charged with obstruction of justice could lose their monitoring bracelets. The Post reports that the curfews for the three—Joseph Price, 37; Victor J. Zaborsky, 42; and Dylan M. Ward, 38—have been lifted [...]
The murder of Robert Wone is a tragic case. The circumstances of his murder are presented in the affidavit's now famous, grim narrative of drugging, stabbing, and sexual assault. Yesterday, a prominent lawyer called me to point out two holes in the law man's narrative involving the three—Victor Zaborsky, Dylan Ward, and Joe Price—now charged [...]
Dylan Ward, who has been charged with obstruction of justice in the mysterious death of Robert Wone, was released this morning. A D.C. Superior Court granted his release. He is required to submit to curfew restrictions and wear a monitoring bracelet on his ankle.
Where's he going? Well, Ward will be living with the two other [...]
Commenters have beeen tearing it up over at 14th and T: The Good News, Bad News Edition, many of them in support of Diner/Tryst/Open City owner Constantine Stavropoulos and comedy club impresario John Xereas, who had hoped—with the help of Dave Chappelle and others—to develop local businesses inside the former Church of the Reformer. That [...]
For Doug A. Rogers, like Barack Obama and Arthur Delaney, it's all over but the counting. ANC 2B09 challenger Rogers—who was randomly photographed earlier today by our roaming election staffer, Amanda Hess (that's him on the left)– just called in from home. He's been up since 4 a.m. and was out all day at 14th [...]
In case you missed it, the Washington Blade has a nice piece on gays running against gays in the hot, hot, hot ANC races. (Note: Our candidate, Arthur Delaney, is not gay. If he was, he probably would have clean pants ready to go.)
Among the gay races, we're keeping a close eye on ANC 2B09 [...]

Birds everywhere where flying to and from with hunks of glazed doughnuts in their beaks. Squirrels scampered off with sticky bits of almost-cooked dough in their tiny jaws. How could this happen? Is Krispy Kreme dumping their unwanted goods in the middle of Dupont Circle?
Borderstan, an in-between hood described here, is inching toward legitimacy here, with its own website.
My hair has gotten to that point, folks. It's time for a haircut.
I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but there's a point—an actual length—in the afterlife of my hair follicles when all hell breaks loose. In January 2007, I was so sick of it (and it was long enough, after the split [...]

The "ghost bike" memorial for 22-year-old Alice Swanson was installed anonymously where she died yesterday at 20th and R streets in Dupont Circle.
The tragedy is one that hits home for many: for Alice's coworkers and former coworkers, for her housemates in Mount Pleasant, for her friends in D.C. and from college at [...]
A bit of neighborhood trivia: Residents living near 15th Street between P and T streets have taken to calling their area "Borderstan." The not-quite-Dupont not quite-U-street-Logan hood is divided between two police districts, with the eastern side falling under the Third District and the western side going to the Second District. (Not quite Laptopia, either.) [...]
Dear Landlord Dude:
I saw your ad in the Post and called you yesterday afternoon. The apartment you were offering sounded good enough: 1700 block of Corcoran, $1900, one-bedroom described either as "sunny" or "cozy" or "featuring hardwood floors."
I thought: I just can't swing that kind of rent. Not even sharing that kind of rent. No [...]
You don't have to be PoP to obsess about homes that are not yours. This is one of the city's great pastimes: walking its blocks and gawking at its homes. We are all rubberneckers for a great built-in library, interesting stained-glass, a well-manicured yard, a big, well-lit living space.
Then there are the mystery buildings–the places [...]
I've still got my gay pride beads on from today's rain-soaked parade. But here's a question for the rest of the folks who lined 17th and P streets today: is it just me, or has Capitol Pride gone a little corporate?
The parade started with the Chief of Police and the Gay and Lesbian Liaison Unit, followed by Mayor [...]
