Our First Batch of Links

Well, this certainly qualifies as a momentous 24 hours. During some of my downtime, I've managed to figure out how the coding on this site works, and was able to get our first batch of links set up. Of course, the links to every Washington team homepage are an absolute necessity, even the Mystics, which took a lot of internal debate before I decided to include it.

We've also started a link section with a few of the more interesting blogs in the Washington area. DC Blogs has probably about the best collection of Washington based blog links there is, one we hope to be included on eventually.

The Blackberry Debutantes is run by two women who we've actually met in person. The wedding referred to in previous posts was preceded two weeks earlier by a bachelor party in the Adams Morgan area. We met the Debutantes outside The Angry Inch, they were pleasant and signed the bachelor's shirt. Thanks for contributing to the evening ladies. Of course, signing the shirt as "Blackberry Debutantes" confused us, we had no idea what it meant, but Google is a wonderful thing, and that led us to their blog, which is actively posted to and entertaining. The phrase "Reverse Nuclear Dating Option" will probably work it's way into my vocabulary at some point.

The Cleveland Park Men's Club is a social group located in, you guessed it, the Cleveland Park area. I can't say I necessarily agree with everything they write, (the hell if I'm splitting a check evenly if I've eaten burritos and everyone else had lobster) but their blog certainly gets a lot of traffic and generates a little controversy here and there. These are all good things, and they seem like decent guys.

The Cleveland Park Junior League, I haven't had much time to look at. They seem to be affiliated with the Cleveland Park Men's Club, in what capacity I'm not sure. It seems only right to include both groups, we're certainly not exclusionary people.

The Cleavage Park Grrrls Club, as with the Junior League, seems to be affiliated with the Cleveland Park Men's Club in some fashion. From recent posts, it appears they were running a charity event recently, which gets a high mark in my book, as do most people who take time to help others. They are being added even though they violate one of my major pet peeves, the intentional misspelling of words. However, these ladies seem cool enough to get away with it.

Lastly, I would be remiss if the Wonkette were not included. The Wonkette is one of the foremost politics and newsworthy blogs based out of D.C. Though her blog is extensive, she will always be linked to the Washingtonienne scandal that she helped bring to light last year. The Wonkette is a Washington blog institution, and we're proud to have her there.

Thanks for considering us "cool enough to get away with it." I don't know who ever started that "grrls" thing, but I (obviously) dig it since I used it in the name of our blog!! We are very close associates of CPMC (wink wink).
