Hello! I'm Vincent Gallegos, co-founder of VGDA Design in Washington, DC. Enjoy my stories about art, technology and creative living. More >
Sort of. We don't party crash and yet we feel their presence. On Wednesday, Obama visited Martha's Table in our neighborhood, and yesterday, I took touristy photos with my visiting family in front of the White House just before Lady Obama welcomed her new Christmas tree (can you see it in the photo? One of the last I took before the area was cleared).
I just spotted this article -- "Revenge of the Nerds" by Hays Sibley -- in November's issue of DC Magazine by Modern Luxury. The issue spotlights DC tech talent-- very nice! Personalities and events mentioned in this particular article include Jason Garber's Refresh DC, BarcampDC 3, Accessibility Camp's John F Croston III, She's Geeky, and Frank Gruber's TECH Cocktail.
Peter Corbett, of iStrategyLabs fame, is mentioned for TechArts. We also know him for his contribution to recent unconferences such as PubCamp and Barcamp. Yesterday, Peter spoke at an arts and technology panel moderated by Philippa Hughes of the Pink Line Project. DC Tech Events's Ross Karchner also mentioned. Good job, guys!

Last night, I met a stellar group of talented PR professionals -- DC PR Flacks on Meetup (#DCFlacks on Twitter) -- thanks to my good friend Joe Flood. Joe re-introduced me to Margie Newman, founder of the monthly meetup, and Dave Newman, a talented web guy (and Wordpress expert).
I enjoyed chatting with Lauren Woeber. Like me, she finds the group welcoming. Member Jon Riethmaier says: "I came for the $2.50 beers and stayed for the conversation. This is great group with quality practitioners in a very relaxed environment." So come on out next month!

This story cross-posted at ReadysetDC: "Streetfront: Cork Market"
I'm excited to see these guys work on Cork Market, because for a while there we couldn't see construction. They are getting ready for business, as you can see from the permits. The place is located at 1805 14th Street NW (b/w Home Rule and Pulp DC), on what used to be El Paraiso Market. One of the guys loved getting his picture taken; another one busy painting. Pella logos all over the exterior for now--nothing distinctly Cork.
Metrocurean's Amanda McClements has a "before" shot of the place, and the complete scoop on Cork's new space. I met Amanda at Passenger DC's media party. (She's the girl on the left in this photo). You guys know I don't do food stuff, hah, so follow this awesome district foodie on Twitter.

I loved sharing Baked & Wired quotes over the summer. I haven't spotted any lately--it's getting to that time of year, perhaps--or maybe I'm just missing them altogether! Follow this sweet bakery & coffee house on Twitter.

One of reasons why we love U Street corridor. We stopped by the 14th Street Farmers' Market to find a costume contest, for both kids and adults, organized by a collection of DC food bloggers (see the invite: Adventures in Shaw). Among the prizes: Biago Chocolate and Saint Ex gift certificates. Fun!
