A group of MIT grads that call themselves SoSolimited look like reservoir dogs meets blue man group. They put on a really fun live remix of the debates. Check out this PDF for more info, and see below for videos. I thought it was amazing, the only thing they were missing was the social media element.

Connect with Ellwood online through their blog, Flickr, Vimeo, Twitter account and Facebook Page and get to know Ellwood through a walk around their store:


Ellwood Thompsons // At A Glance from Ellwood Thompson's on Vimeo.

A rendering of the store that will be joining the folks of Columbia Heights later in 2009:

JESS3 is excited to join Metrocurean, New Columbia Heights, The Green Miles, Columbia Heights News, Prince of Petworth, Pulse and Signal, Washington Canard, The 42, Buttermilk & Molasses, Natural~Specialty Foods Memo and our own Leslie Bradshaw in announcing that Ellwood Thompson's is coming to DC next year!

As you may recall, JESS3 has done all of the branding, blog design, video production and social media work. We look forward to having our Richmond client join us up in DC, not to mention bring with them local, organic, sustainable and fair-trade grocery options.

If you are a DC-area blogger interested in covering this story on your blog, we would love to drop you a line. Leave a comment here or shoot us an email: lesliebradshaw ~at~ jess3 ~dot~ com.

about Reckoner Lockdown - Kanye vs Radiohead by DJ Earworm

From stereogum (h/t Brian Devine):

Radiohead's "Reckoner" got a video earlier this month. Before that, a ton of remix contestants. Courtesy of DJ Earworm, the track now gets to share space with that other frequently talked about single -- Ellen-approved, auto-tuned "Love Lockdown." We have "Reckoner Lockdown" in audio and visual form. The video mashes Kanye's monochromatic apartment and African dancers with Clemont Picon's Radiohead aniboom-winning animation, sp(l)icing up the place a bit.

about Thirsty Bernie in Arlington, VA

2163 N Glebe Rd
Arlington, VA 22207
(703) 248-9300

I went with leslie last night and we had a charcuterie plate with pates and little bits. Then we had meatball sliders that were tasty and unique and also primaly fulfilling in a way meat and cheese on crostini can provide. I then had a hamburger as well, which is what I came for in the first place. their chef makes his own sausages and meats and grinds everything himself etc. its INCREDIBLE, I was really impressed. The reason I am writing this blog post is because its in a little strip mall in N.Arlington and youd never find it if you didnt know what you were looking for. ... AND because according to our waiter, Stachowski is apparently leaving to do something else in a few weeks so get it while you can!

really good fresh homemade bright green pickles, tasty interesting flavors all round, lots of large flat screen tvs blaring sports and lots of special homemade MEAT.

"The he-man menu is the creation of chef Jamie Stachowski, whose charcuterie was one of the best things about Restaurant Kolumbia. When he and his wife, Carolyn, closed that K Street eatery a year ago, Stachowski—who claims to have worked in 27 restaurants since he was 14—was a man without a kitchen. So what did the burly chef do? He holed up in his garage and made meat." - washingtonian

about C-SPAN Debate Hub

debatehub.c-span.org

-----------------------

"Even if politics and Presidential debates bore you to the point where you need to nap like a 72-year-old, credit is still due to C-SPAN for making the whole process slightly more interesting with its ambitious Debate Hub. The social media-packed, live-blogging saturated, video clip bonanza, pulls content from a variety of sources—including YouTube, ADD microblogging tool Twitter, and C-SPAN's spin-free video coverage—and crams it all into a clean little web page... Dare I say it, this could be the future of covering live events. It's liveblogging, on steroids!"

- gizmodo


"it is the best single-page tool I’ve found for recapping the debate in nothing more than the candidates own words."

- Crushing Krisis

C-SPAN political producer Ben O'Connell, the project lead on the Debate Hub: "The first and foremost reason we wanted to do this is that C-SPAN has always been committed to getting as many voices heard as possible -- we see this almost as an extension of our call-in programs. The second reason is that we're creating a beachhead in social media. We recognize that this is a major part of public discourse now, and we want to engage in it."
