From a press release:
On Tuesday August 30, Capitol Lounge at 231 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE will celebrate the anniversary of the fire that closed its doors six years ago. To commemorate the anniversary, Capitol Lounge will be offering specials (including 25 cent wings) all day leading up to the grand event which will begin at 7pm. The main event will feature the first annual Fire Breathing Wing Eating contest, where ten lucky contestants will vie for the title of Wing King (or Queen). Royalty will be endowed upon he/she who successfully consumes the most wings in a ten minute period.
In addition to claiming royal domain, the ultimate winner of the contest will receive a prize package worth $600, including gift certificates, sporting tickets, concert tickets, and the best part: his/her name engraved on a special plaque that will hang in perpetuity on the walls of the Capitol Lounge.
While the wing contest is open to all, only ten contestants will be chosen, at random, for participation. To enter the contest, visit http://caploungewings.eventbrite.com/.
Capitol Lounge will also be accepting donations on behalf of the DC Firefighters Burn Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) non- profit that provides assistance and support to firefighters (and their family members) who have been hospitalized by burn injuries sustained in the line of duty.
I can’t believe it’s been 6 years already…

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!
