Target just opened its cool little pop up store in Georgetown today, at the corner of Wisconsin and M Streets. Target has squeezed a custom designed mini Swiss chalet into the parking lot right next to Old Glory (great place to stop for lunch by the way). There are only three of these pop-up stores…

Behind The Scenes: Terra Cotta Warriors at National Geographic
I headed up M Street feeling a bit like an archaeologist being ushered into a dig site long after the locals had cleared out. With the White House a few short blocks away, I strode up to the National Geographic Museum and promptly entered the wrong door. After finding the right entrance, I found myself…
OTC: Behind DC’s Velvet Rope
On Monday Fashion Washington, The Washington Post’s luxury lifestyle magazine hosted a private party to celebrate its one year anniversary. It was also FW’s chance to flex a little fashion and eco star power as it also awarded Philippe and Alexandra Cousteau the honor of being DC’s Most Fashionable. From 7:00-10:00 that evening, the recently…
OTC Profiled on Washingtonian.com!
I am very excited to announce that Washingtonian.com, the online home of Washingtonian Magazine, today profiled Off The Cuff on its Capitol Comment Blog. That OTC has captured the interest of a blue chip publication like Washingtonian is cool enough, but the photo of me even impressed my wife. Trust me, I’m not nearly as…

No the clearest of pictures, but this guy is always on the move. I couldn’t get him to stand still long enough for a clear shot. KR is a honest-to-goodness DC lobbyist and a darn good one at that. He’s also a very snappy dresser. A South Carolina native, he passes up the standard suit…
Repurposing: A Follow-Up
Just a quick note to point out that Off The Cuff made it to the big leagues, sort of. We were quoted in today’s Express newspaper’s Blog Log (page 36). For non-locals, Express is the very popular DC commuter newspaper published by the Washington Post. So in my own little world, I like to think…
China’s Terra Cotta Warriors Make Rare Visit to DC Museum
Living and working in Washington, D.C., definitely has its perks. One day I’m in the elevator with Fox News heavy hitter Chris Wallace and the next day it’s former majority leader and almost-DHHS secretary Tom Daschle. And by the way, Daschle is a very sharp dresser. It’s a pretty cool town. Even cooler though, is…
