Book signing: District Comics: An Unconventional History of Washington, D.C. D.C. doesn't want for its own historical documentation. Not only does it have more daily chroniclers than any other city in the country (save, perhaps, for New York), but it's also been fictionalized (George Pelecanos), turned into a video game (Fallout 3), and rendered comprehensible by more documentaries than we can count. But that's not the end of it. District Comics: An Unconventional History of Washington, DC, released earlier this year, tells Washington's story yet again, this time in graphic novel form. The ink work of several of the city's luminaries is on display in this anthology, from Harvey Award-nominee Scott O. Brown, to Feynman creator Jim Ottaviani. The breadth of talent also means a breadth of historical stories: From D.C.'s origins as a swampy settlement, to its short-lived role as the punkest place on the planet.

Food: DC Brau at Beer Week For several years now, every microbrew worth drinking has had a rep in D.C. It was only a matter of time before the District got a brewery that could compete with beers from outside the realm. That brewery is DC Brau, the first production brewery located in Washington, D.C. The various brews are distinct from their peers due to the fact that they come in cans, and are named for seminal events in D.C. history. The Corruption IPA, for instance, is a reference to Henry Clay's alliance with John Quincy Adams, termed "The Corrupt Bargain"; The Citizen refers to the passage of the 23rd Amendment in 1963, which gave D.C. residents the right to vote for president and vice president. As part of D.C. Beer Week, D.C. Brau will be unveiling its newest beer, Embers of the Deceased, made in cooperation with Bluejacket Brewery, opening later this year in Southeast.
