I now frequent their studio during open hours with their studio time passes. Brad and Maré are kind, welcoming and extremely knowledgeable! They can help you create patterns and make your stained glass visions come true. Definitely check Fiscus out!

I stood for two hours in high heels and I did not mind one bit…read more Story District (which as of three days ago was known around the city as Speakeasy DC) resurrects the lost art of story telling and brings it to the masses. I came in expecting to be entertained and giddy, but left with a conflict of emotions. The stories told had me on a roller coaster of emotions that was 10x better than any Kardashian / Scandal / True Blood binge watching weekend I could ever go on. I was really impressed by the wide range of performers who came from all ages, ethnicity, sexual and gender orientations, bodies, health -- everything. Their short stories celebrated their triumphs and hardships and also was a mental reminder that everybody is not as they appear. For those who are obsessed with Humans of NY -- you'll love Story District. Shows are every second Tuesday of the month and tickets were $16 per person. Seating is limited so I recommend coming an hour early if you would like some tush cushion. I highly recommend attending this show if you are looking to have some great post dinner conversation with someone you are looking to know better....or even someone you've known for years. Five Stars all around. Now who's going to the next show with me?!??!?!

Everyday people (and some a little less everyday than others), get on stage, and candidly tell personal short stories. What's unique and inspiring about it, is the surprisingly intimate peek you get into the mind and thought process of the speaker. These aren't scripted, hollywood stories...they're random, eloquently told tales of life. Most are funny, but some are quite dramatic. Storytelling is rapidly becoming a lost art...and it likely was the FIRST art. Public oration has been relegated to the domain of attorneys, politicians, and motivational speakers. I like these reminders that it belongs to all of us.

I even attended their…read moreSexy Photo Shoot a few weeks ago where I got some great pics at a great price, and once again got to spend time with Brie and her husband. I always look forward to seeing them! I have found their events to be a safe space for people in the entertainment industry. (Anybody who knows this profession knows how important that is.) UD&D approaches every event with style and class. Their ability to gain exposure and publicize their upcoming activity is nothing short of outstanding. What's more ... they know how to do the same for you if u call on them to plan your event. This business is hands-down a First Class Act in an entertainment world filled with a whole lot of toxicity that many people try to avoid. Thank God for this company! I trust very few entertainment venues for collaborations. UD&D is certainly one of them. They call themselves Ultimate Dons and Divas. But me? I call them Ultimate Integrity. I wish them only the best!

If you're looking for a gift, thinking of getting something personalized, or wondering if you should take a class, Samantha is your girl!! Thanks again for an awesome class, Samantha.

Samantha was easy to work with from start to finish and was able to stay professional despite the long lines at the party (I mean, how could you not want something so beautiful as a keepsake?). I could picture using her for corporate events, bridal showers, baby showers and any other celebration that could you a personalized twist. She can write on any material and even engraves on glass! I have not had the chance to check out her Intro to Hand Lettering classes yet but for now, I'll leave it to the pros. Painted Palettes is simply the best!

There are 3 levels, and on the ground floor there are models of old torpedos. The rebirth and repurposing of an old factory is very meaningful, as it is now a haven for local artists. However, there was forever a long line to the ladies' room. They should consider renovating the restrooms or expanding them. I understand with old architecture there may be constraints, but given how popular this place is, it is fair to ask.
