“We’re not just throwing a party. We’re pretending our parents are away for the weekend, and we have the keys to the liquor cabinet. This is not your grandmother’s brunch, this is LA BOUM." -Jim Ball, Co-Owner La Boum (noun: la booem) from the French slang popular with teens for “house party” This is a revolutionary style brunch where guest dine and party and do everything they weren’t allowed to do under pure parental supervision as young adults. This adult only (21+) brunch party takes its name from the French slang for “house party,” also the name of the 1980 teen romp that launched the career of Sophie Marceau, the Parisian Molly Ringwald. Guests will be enticed by a delicious brunch menu as a DJ spins an infectious playlist. The lights will be dimmed, the shades will be closed, and corks will be popping. There is never a dull moment as the hosts take you on a three-hour afternoon experience always with smart twist and turns from the mundane DC brunches. Likewise, this brunch is not for the conservative or the weary. ​No Kids, no Chores, no Errands, no Laundry, no phones. Come ready to party, forget about real life for the afternoon and be prepared to stay the entire afternoon. This is truly a unique viral party experience.

Few people know that historic canals were critical to the growth of Washington D.C. in the early 19th century. These canals include the Washington City Canal, the Chesapeake & Ohio (C&O) Canal and the Alexandria Canal. This bike/scooter tour explores the historic canals, canal boats, locks, and lockkeeper houses - and the people who built and used this incredible transportation infrastructure. Bring your own bike/scooter - safety helmets are required. If you choose to rent a bike, there is a Capital Bikeshare docking station at our meeting point (more info about Capital Bikeshare in the FAQ section below). The ride is about 7 miles (11 kilometers) on flat ground and takes about 2 hours. Here are the highlights of our tour: From our meeting point, it is a very short ride to the Navy Yard Terminus of the historic Washington City Canal . From there we proceed as closely as possible along the path of the historic canal. We stop at Canal Park , a three-block stretch of 2nd St. SE which has several interpretive signs and historic photographs. From Canal Park, we ride around a section of the original path of the historic canal which was overtaken by what is now the Southeast Freeway (Interstate 695) and CSX railway. Along this detour we make a surprise stop at a place that predates the historic canal. Back on our bikes/scooters, we return to the historic path of the Washington City Canal on what is now Canal St. SE and ride to the Lockkeepers House. Along the way, we see the Washington City Canal memorialized at Freedom Plaza . Then we make a brief stop to see artifacts of the historic Washington City Canal discovered when the National Museum of African American History was under construction. At the Lockkeeper's House you will learn the history of the house as well as the massive project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to create West Potomac Park and East Potomac Park. After departing the Lockkeeper's House, we ride along a route approximating the path of the C&O Canal Extension to C&O Canal Mile 0 , a stone marker at the C&O Canal's southeastern terminus. Here we see the ruins of Tide Lock A that connected the C&O Canal to the Potomac River. From there the final leg of our ride takes us to C&O Canal Lock 4 . There we will see a working lift lock , where a canal packet boat will be docked near the National Park Service's Visitor Center in Georgetown. Legal Disclaimer: By participating in this tour, you agree to: Provide your own bicycle or scooter in good mechanical condition and safety helmet. Obey all traffic laws. Hereby unconditionally RELEASE, WAIVE, and AGREE NOT TO SUE TommyToursDC or any of its employees. Information Source: TommyToursDC | eventbrite

One Day. One System. Game Over for Your Competition. It's Time to Level the Playing Field with AI Listen. Are you tired of losing contracts to bigger competitors? Spending weeks on proposals that don't win? Feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of government contracting? That’s about to change. On July 26th, we’ll show you exactly how to transform your GovCon business with AI. HERE'S THE TRUTH NOBODY WANTS YOU TO KNOW: Big contractors have 50-person proposal teams. You have 2. They spend $100K on market research. You have Google. They wine and dine contracting officers. You're lucky to get an email response. But here's what they DON'T have: The ability to move fast. The hunger to innovate. And after July 26th... the AI playbook that levels the field. THE PROBLEM: You're working 80-hour weeks writing proposals that lose to companies 100x your size. You're chasing opportunities that were wired for someone else 6 months ago. You're competing on price because you don't know how to compete on value. And you're doing it all manually like it's 1995. THE SOLUTION: One day with Desmond Brown (Retired VA Executive Director OSDBU who built MULTI-MILLION dollar programs) and Alicia Lyttle (The woman teaching Fortune 500s how to use AI). Desmond A. Brown Desmond A. Brown is one of the nation’s most credentialed authorities in government contracting, holding the highest levels of certification in federal procurement and acquisition strategy . With unmatched experience in both the public and private sectors, Desmond is a retired senior executive who spent decades shaping federal acquisition policy and practice. He served at the highest levels of government, including as Executive Director of the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs , where he oversaw billions of dollars in procurement opportunities for small, minority-owned, and veteran-owned businesses. His federal leadership journey includes a key role at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management , and in the private sector, Desmond held leadership roles at Lockheed Martin , where he contributed to mission-critical defense and technology initiatives. Desmond is widely respected for his ability to bridge complex government systems with real-world small business outcomes . His work has empowered thousands of business owners to win federal contracts, scale strategically, and navigate the compliance landscape with confidence. Now retired from federal service, Desmond is a sought-after speaker, AI strategist, and branding advisor. He trains government contractors and entrepreneurs around the globe. Known for his powerful blend of procurement expertise and forward-thinking innovation, Desmond helps others thrive at the intersection of technology, storytelling, and federal opportunity . His mission? To equip underserved founders and fast-moving entrepreneurs to win at warp speed in the age of AI. Alicia Lyttle Alicia Lyttle is internationally recognized as “The Queen of AI” for her knack at turning cutting-edge artificial-intelligence tools into real-world wins for entrepreneurs and government teams alike. As CEO of AI InnoVision. Alicia has spent over a decade helping small businesses fast-track growth by automating everything from proposal writing to market research. A sought-after speaker on the federal stage, Alicia has delivered keynote sessions and hands-on labs for the National Contract Management Association (NCMA), multiple federal and state events and agency innovation days. Her workshops consistently earn reviews for turning “tech overwhelm” into doable, step-by-step systems that boost win rates and slash admin time. Whether she’s guiding 8(a) startups to their first prime award or training contracting officers on generative-AI best practices, Alicia’s mission is the same: demystify AI and make it the great equalizer for anyone ready to compete at warp speed. Expect energy, clarity, and a library of prompt hacks you can apply before you leave the event! Together, they've cracked the code on using AI to win government contracts.

Class Description: CMYK Screen Printing is a great way to reproduce a color image and add your flavor! We will divide a color photograph into its cyan, magenta, yellow, and black layers, and screen print them in succession to reassemble the image on paper. Participants are also encouraged to experiment with the process by skipping layers or blocking out areas to create unique prints! Session Details: During this workshop, we will learn how the image is exposed on the screen, how to register an image for screen printing, and how to print the image in four colors through the four screens. We will also discuss how a photographic image needs to be prepared by converting it to half-tone dots in order to be exposed onto a screen. What You Will Learn: -The basics of how screen printing works, and how the image is exposed on a screen -How to print images on a mesh screen -How photographic images are converted into half-tone dots to recreate tonal and color ranges when exposed on and printed through a screen -How the layers of a screen printed are registered together so that each layer lines up when the image is reassembled -How skipping a color layer or blocking areas out can dramatically alter your image to create unique versions of the print What to Bring: Yourself! Paper, inks, screens, and squeegees will be provided for use during the workshop. While we’re using water-based inks, it is highly recommended that you wear clothes that can get dirty. Also, since we’ll be on our feet quite a bit as we move from screen to screen and to hang up our prints, wear comfortable shoes! About the Instructor: Beth is an alum of the Corcoran College of Art + Design, and has been printing in Washington, DC for over 15 years. She specializes in non-linear screen printing, which focuses more on experimentation and manipulating the surface of the print to create varied editions, rather than executing a replicable design. Beth shares her knowledge and love of printing by creating collaborative prints with other artists and inviting people to join her in making their own designs.

Growing up I always had a strong passion for of nature, travel, crafting, art, and theatre that has shaped who I am today. As a career field, landscape architecture jumped out at me from the beginning due to the collaboration of art, nature, and the human experience. However, I found that I much preferred working with my hands and not long after college, I transitioned into agriculture where I was most recently Director of Operations for Little Wild Things City Farm . Wildry bloomed out of a love of nature and repurposing items to create sustainable art. I started out slowly selling small designs starting in 2019 and then officially launched Wildry in 2021.
