DDS in Herndon!!

my FAVORITE cover band, Drop Dead Sexy, or DDS as we like to call them ;) was in Herndon for Friday Night Live...and thankfully the monsoon didn't stop the fun...the outdoor portion of the night got canceled, but we still made it to Ned Devine's for the inside show. If they are in your area, you must see them!!















waiting out the rain at Friday Night Live - definitely a lost cause
















we found Panda at Ned Devines!!

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Feerst!!

Got to share in another special occasion this weekend, when Rob & Andrea tied the knot!











Congratulations to the newlyweds!! And they are off to San Antonio, so visit lots!!

Art Show to Benefit BARCS

Sowebo Arts, in partnership with Zella’s Pizzeria at 1145 Hollins Street 21223 will present an exhibition of art to benefit BARCS (Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter), opening August 6 through October 5. We are presenting animal themed work from artists in the Baltimore-Washington area. These will be sold and the commission will be evenly shared between BARCS and SoWeBo Arts, Inc. The August 6 opening will be from 6 – 8 PM. Admission is free.

BARCS is the non-profit animal rescue organization that operates the former Baltimore City Municipal Animal Shelter. BARCS in conjunction with Baltimore City Animal Control take into the shelter 12,000 animals a year. BARCS houses over 450 animals on any given day and sends thousands of animals out to rescues and adopters every year. During these trying economic times BARCS is averaging 40 animals or more a day entering the shelter. These times of reduced grants and contributions, BARCS is in great need of funding. Your support is greatly appreciated. SoWeBo Arts supports causes like BARCS and community building through the arts.
