BYT's guide to Fear and Sanity in DC

If you are hopping on the Orange Line this Saturday to attend the Stewart and Colbert rallies on the mall, check out Brightest Young Things first. They have created this handy info graphic of A Sane Person's Guide to DC for hanging out in the city after the events.

Also, thanks to Clarendon Culture for this schedule of the rally and events. The rallies are only from noon to 3pm, and its sure to be crowded!

Brightest Young Things just put out an extensive review of their new album The Sun & Earth featuring sound clips of every track!

Its great that such a talented band is getting more publicity, and look forward to seeing them tonight for their record release.

Brightest Young Things is having a ticket give away contest for the next Regina Spektor show. Her addictive sound will be making it our way on September 30th at DAR hall.

To win, post a video in the comments of this BYT post that is "at least as adorable as Fidelity."

Zombies Attack DC

Good thing I was out of town at the fair Saturday when zombie mobs attacked DC.

Thanks to Brightest Young Things to extensively covering the undead march in the capital when the mainstream media neglected to.

Apparently the flash mob was organized by the people who did the No Pants Metro ride back in January. From the pictures it looks like quite a good number of people turned zombified themselves and roamed the DC streets, metro stations, and parks.

I'm sure this thoroughly confused or irritated most of the tourists, but it doesn't appear as if anyone panicked and pulled out their Zombie Survival Guide. Its sad how unprepared most people are for when the undead attack.
