From Petworth Citizen:
“What kind of bookish speakeasy would #ReadingRoomDC be if it didn’t love banned books? Chantal Tseng crafts this weekend’s Literary Cocktails from a collection of books that have faced censorship in the past. Raise a glass to #BannedBooksWeek with us, Friday and Saturday nights 7pm-12am.”
Sneak peek at one of the cocktails:
“Animal Farm”
Apple Brandy, Barley tea-maple syurp, Whole egg, cider, nutmeg & osmanthus leaves
BG: George Orwell writes an allegorical story about revolution on a farm where the animals (led by the apple loving pigs and their loyal dogs) take over from an abusive and alcoholic farmer. Our inspired drink takes elements of the farm like apples, barley, eggs and riffs on the classic family of Flip cocktails. We are welcoming the fall season and harvests with this one. The story is essentially one big “Flip” where the humans are overthrown but then the pigs become the new tyrannical humans.”

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!
