Share your DC knowledge/love/hate for prizes!
Attention all DC’ers: bloggers, photogs, neighbors, friends – if you’re in DC (or okay, just this once, the greater DC area. yep, even you orange_liners), consider this your battle call. Here’s what I want tout suite (yep, demanding, but there’s PRIZES involved):
1) one reason why you LOVE DC.
2) one thing you hate/snark/whine/mock about DC (can’t think of any? me either, try virginia)
3) A DC favorite or secret (can be a restaurant, a deal, a park, an intersection, you name it)
4) your favorite DC photo (own the rights please! that means you took it)
5) one DC blogger we might not know about.
Okay, so I’m demanding, So I’m giving you till the end of the month! May 31, 11:59 p.m.
How Where What? Huh?
So typically this is done with a blog post. While I’m probably already stalking you if you’re here, it can’t hurt to send me a short email, tag your photo “washwords” in flicker or for:washwords in del.ic.io.us (fear not if you don’t know what the heckily I’m talking about, just shoot me an email). BUT washwords is an equal opportunity contest promoter so…
Don’t live in DC? You can play too if you have DC knowledge! Sit tight, if not. There will be more contests and most won’t require anything at all, let alone all this work!)
Don’t have a blog? Shoot me an email. Include all the stuff I mention here. Don’t have email? Well, hmm. That’s gonna be tougher. I’ll work on it.
While clearly, I can’t play for prizes (and they’re gonna be good), I will be posting the entries starting with mine on a separate page here. Coming SOON!
Good luck! May the best blogger/photog/writer/READER win!

I love being able to hop on the metro and being able to walk everywhere. Sorry I can’t think of anything I hate about D.C. I loved walking into Georgetown from Foggy Bottom, but I find your black squirrels rather unfriendly.

I will totally be doing this tomorrow. And thank Herb of DC for bringing this to my attention! Then again you’re on my reader, but I’m so behind. 🙁

1. Free Art. Fire flies.
2. How flat this town is (I never leave Dupont if I can’t SEE beyond Dupont). And the asshole mosquitoes, et cetera.
3. Big Bear Cafe & Dolcezza (That’s two that may not be secrets, but favorites, and more people needs to get there!)
4. How do I post a photo? I have a poignant and colorful addition to the DC imagery that is far neglected – women’s underwear on the mall….
5. Me, probably, not that you want to know anything else about that.

I’m surprised you made a full post about this. You really think it’s that important? Don’t get me wrong, I love your stuff, but this is kind of crazy.
