THIS JUST IN: 2012 Sweetlife Food and Music Festival Announced

DC based restaurant chain sweetgreen is best known for their simple, fresh and TASTY cuisine that is not healthy for you, but healthy for the community thanks to their commitment to using ingredients that are both local and sustainable. Since 2007 it's been a huge it for founders/Georgetown grads Nicolas Jammet, Jonathan Neman and Nathaniel Ru, but somewhere along the way they decided that it wasn't enough. They needed to throw a rock festival. A BIG ONE.

On April 28th that festival will return once again to Merriweather Post Pavilion, this year bringing the likes of The Shins, Explosions In The Sky, Kid Cudi and more. 

Tickets to the event will go onsale this Saturday at 10am, but if you friend up sweetgreen now on Facebook you'll be able to get in on the presale which starts Thursday, March 9th at 10am sharp. 

Read the rest of the press release for more details, and we'll see you in the woods at MPP this April!!

Episode 2: It's No Empire

WIN STUFF: 2 tickets to see GOMEZ @ The 9:30 Club on 3/12!!!

Let's try this again folks.

Last summer Gomez had to cancel their tour leaving you potentially lucky ticket winners in the lurch. Well be lurched no more because Gomez is back with their Quinceanera tour to celebrate their 15th year as a band.  Better yet - YOU get to pick the setlist. We're recommending "Hangover" and "In Our Gun" on repeat, but you can pick your favorite tracks (five of them!) by heading over to http://bit.ly/GomezDC and casting your vote today.

To win  tickets all you've got  to do to A) Let us know what your favorite Gomez album is (it better be Liquid Skin people!) in the comments section below* or B) Watch our twitter feed for details on how to get your name in there TWICE! We'll announce the winner at the end of the day on Friday, so good luck and we'll see you at the show!
