The following list was inspired by the masterful words of C. S. Lewis:
“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.”
However, the list was in no way affected by the consumption of Bulleit Bourbon and ginger ale which by the by is surprisingly more tasty than Makers Mark and ginger ale – anyway the following is what some folks used to warn others about:
13. Don’t go east of 16th Street, NW
12. Don’t go east of 14th Street, NW
11. Don’t go east of Georgia Ave (or anywhere near Georgia Ave)
10. Don’t drink the water (this might actually still be true, I can’t remember if I have lead lines or not…)
9. Don’t go to Meridian Hill Park
8. Don’t walk home from the 9:30 club
7. Don’t walk home from HR 57 (the old Logan Circle location)
6. Don’t go east or north of Lincoln Park
5. Don’t take the bus
4. Don’t look anyone directly in the eye
3. Don’t go to the Movies at Union Station
2. Don’t ride the Green Line
1. Don’t cross Kojo Nnandi, he has the memory of an elephant and will bury you

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
