Around Town this Weekend

Billy Crystal is bringing his 700 Sundays to town. As if we’d ever actually get more than 52 of those a year. More uncalled for cruelty. Humph.  DC rapper and underground boywonder, Wale is performing at Mansion tonight. His show is a good reason to get wasted and hit up the…

Magic City Kitty: She’s Too Skinny for My Sausage

Hello, Kitty: I’m having issues with a new girl. I can’t figure out if I’m settling for less or just being shallow. We’ve been dating for about three months and things are pretty great. Emotionally and mentally we really click, but physically she’s just not clearing the bar. The problem…
