We don't have a lot of three days weekends in the United States and hurricane Matthew caused problems for many travelers who had fun plans for the holiday... I didn't have any plans to get away from Washington but there was plenty going on in the city! POST ITALIAN EMBASSY DINNER AT 2AMYS Since October 2012, the Italian Embassy has engaged the public in an open discussion on digital diplomacy and innovation in foreign policy through its Digital Diplomacy Series. Last week, they gathered a great panel of folks from the White House, Tumblr, Facebook and Google/YouTube to discuss what happens when digital diplomacy goes live. Afterwards, since we were already in the Cathedral Heights ...

Christine & The Queens at the All Things Go Fall Classic Festival
Have you heard of Christine And the Queens? Did you go see her and her band when she played at the 9:30 Club earlier this year? I couldn't make it, so I'm stoked she's coming back! As part of a small North American tour, she'll be performing at the All Things Go Fall Classic Music Festival at Yards Park this Saturday, October 8th. DC's not a big music festival town and I've loved seeing this one grow from its beginning at Dock 5 behind Union Market in 2014. And of course I love that there's a French artist in the line-up!! The headliners this year are Empire of the Sun (the videos from the Australian band are amazing, like this one for Alive, so I bet they put on quite a show!). They'll ...
Christine & The Queens au Festival All Things Go Fall Classic
Vous êtes allés voir Christine And the Queens quand elle est passée au 9:30 Club un peu plus tôt dans l'année? Moi j'ai pas pu, donc je suis bien contente qu'elle revienne nous voir à l'occasion d'une petite tournée Nord Américaine. Elle sera au All Things Go Fall Classic Music Festival à Yards Park le Samedi 8 Octobre. On a pas beaucoup de festival de musique comme ça à Washington et j'aime bien voir sa progression depuis ces débuts au Dock 5 derriere Union Market en 2014... et le fait bien sur qu'il y a une super artiste française dans le line-up!! La tête d'affiche cette année c'est les Australiens de Empire of the Sun (leurs vidéos sont toujours superbes, comme la pour Alive, donc ...
Christine and the Queens at the 9:30 Club
Have you heard of Christine and the Queens? Yes!? Then you know how awesome she is! You can skip the rest of this post and just click on this link to buy tickets to see her perform at the 9:30 Club on May 31. French musicians don't grace US stages very often, and when they do, we - Frenchies and francophiles - have a responsibility to go cheer them on. Otherwise, they won't come see us anymore ;-) If you have no idea who Christine and the Queens is then let me introduce you to the best French band you're not listening to right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs40yxHjTxQ Christine and the Queens is the androgynous alter ego of Héloïse Letissier, a stylish 27-year-old Parisienne who ...
