Up, up, and away

As seems to be regularly the case this time of year, musical offerings in the Washington area over the next week largely range from inanely innocuous (The Big Wu, Dave Matthews) to the inadvisably incessant (Ani DiFranco) and on to the irredeemably intolerable (Dashboard Confessional).

The problem of a knowledge gap regarding black life at Georgetown actually starts well beyond the Healy Gates.

The Sweet 16 will commence tonight with four games and although I am immensly unqualified to predict anything …

I figure we should start out West, because that’s the only regional that definitely won’t be won by a No. 1 seed. Perennial chokers Cincinnati lost to the UCLA “We’re really much better than a No.
