Kick Ass!
In another life, one that ended as many as three months ago, I wrote a column called Show & Tell for a newspaper called the Washington City Paper which focused on goings-on in the local arts and entertainment scene. One of the last columns I wrote—and one of my favorites—was about a guy named Derrick Nowlin. Nowlin, a Prince enthusiast and martial arts bad-ass, has been working for years trying to get known for what he does best: doing push-ups on broken glass, front-kicking basketball nets, and mastering one-inch punches that can send a man so hard into a wimpy plaster drywall that it necessitates a call to maintenance. You know, typical bad-ass stuff.
If you’d like to get to know Nowlin, he’ll be performing tomorrow in Alexandria. Details after the jump.
