Bring The Fillmore to Silver Spring
I’m done with the frustration and vitriol. If you support the Fillmore, please just email your County Council and tell them so. Now.

Have you lost a parakeet?
Unless global warming has caused migratory patterns to become extremely erratic, this parakeet spotted near Silver Spring Avenue has escaped and is, as far as we know, sowing its seed among the general population. Maybe he was just going out on the porch to look for a package from the now-defunct Pets.com:

Dog Days of Summer
Tropical Storm Hanna(h) wreaked havoc on the initial grand opening plans for Living Ruff in DTSS. The Dog Days of Summer festivities have been rescheduled for this Saturday, 3pm-6pm on The Promenade.

Charity Fundraiser
Jessica of A Parent in Silver Spring wanted me to pass on news of a fundraiser, The Workout for Demitry, Sunday, September 28 from Noon to 3pm at Rock Creek Sports Club. Demitry’s father was killed in a tragic accident, and 100% of the proceeds go to support him and his mother, Jillian. For more information, contact Rachel Posell at rachel@posell.com.

45 Days and Counting until the Silver Spring Zombie Walk
Mark (or re-mark) your calendars for the first ever Silver Spring Zombie Walk on Saturday, November 1. Additional details coming soon.

    Uh-oh. That parakeet better be rescued soon. Temperatures are dropping and that little tropical bird needs to be indoors as soon as possible.

    45 days until the dead walk!

    Good news! That parakeet, and another lost parakeet from the same home, have been reunited safe and sound with their family.
