Wasn't this post run last week? And what's with the Cap Lounge link at the end?

This post did not run last week. The Cap Lounge link was in the press release for some reason. It's gone now because I think it was just an errant cut and paste mistake.

Please use a nickname.

People really should check out the in series programs at the Atlas, and other places. They have some of the most interesting and innovative stuff in the city.
