Weather:  Prepare yourself for the monsoon that is about to hit the district. 100% chance of downpours all day Saturday and Sunday with temperatures in the 60’s. That rain gear is getting put to good use this spring.

Awesome events you can attend this weekend: It’s all about the beer. Hit up Bram Brew Fest at Brambleton Plaza; Check out the Neon Drink Summer Beer Festival at the Bullpen; D.C. Bike Ride is happening on Sunday; Get zen and do some Yoga on the Mall; Grab some barbecue at the 3 Stars’ Summer BBQ series.


#WATCH

Working out can be dangerous which is why I try to stay away from it. Throw in some weights and we’re now flirting with death.

Call me old fashioned, but I’d like to live a long life.

Stuart Roy and Hazen Marshall? Not so much. The two love Crossfit so much (form of exercise for you couch potatoes) that they tried to tell me about it over at Crossfit Oldtown, but I could barely hear what they were saying over the crunch of my Rice Krispies Treat.


#NATIONAL

Taco Bell got a facelift; Meet KarlSen. Sasse bringing out the sass (h/t Mike Morrison); Jenna Johnson on how Donald Trump tweets; We probably need one of these; Go Robin Wright!; Senator from troubled home state repeatedly acting out

#EDITORSPICK

In Washington, it’s simple enough to observe that there are two types of people roaming the city streets: type A and type B. While type B’s should be respected in their own right for their cavalier swagger and happy-go-lucky attitude about red line delays, I think I speak for all type A’s when I say that we are an unstoppable and ambitious tribe.

Scroll-on for 10 photos only type A’s living in D.C. will truly appreciate! If you’re a type B like Joe Biden, you will probably have no idea what we’re talking about.
