From an email:

“The Georgetown Events family is devastated by the heartless and cowardly act of violence against our beloved friend, partner and colleague, Christian. [partner/general manager at Millie’s in Spring Valley] He is the loving father of 9 month old Frances, the husband of my wife’s sister Molly and the son of the wonderful Broder family of Atlanta. He is in critical condition in intensive care fighting so hard to live. The staff at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta has worked around the clock since Sunday performing one miraculous surgery after another to keep Christian alive. Please pray for him. A gofundme page has been set www.gofundme.com/supporting-christian-broder

First Natalie Portman and now Julia Louis-Dreyfus – it’s been a very good week…

A reader reported yesterday just after 5pm:

“Asked a lady and said they were lining up to be extras on the HBO show “Veep”. I dunno…kinda cool.”

Definitely cool!! And Julia Louis-Dreyfus instagrams her old stomping grounds in Spring Valley.

And this is the house I grew up in. #Veep #worldscolliding @thesamrichardson
