The Week In -ist
DCist is screwed in the event of an oil crisis. Not that we’re not all screwed in the event of an oil crisis, just D.C. is more screwed. Don’t sell your car yet, District resident, a cabbie can kick you to the curb if he …

Culture Crawled, Saturday 27 May
We had a schedule for last weekend, a full to bursting at the seams schedule that would guarantee a very fulfilling Culture Crawl for whoever dared to undertake it. Londonist attempted to Do It All – and these pictures are evidence that it is possible …
TV Troll: Camp Overload
This week marks the start of the new Big Brother (Thur 9pm C4). We’re fairly sure this will split our readership (hello, Mrs Trellis of North Wales) right down the middle; BB is a love-it-or-hate-it proposition. TV Troll hated it until undergoing a Damascene conversion …
Bathtime For Buddha’s Birthday
Happy birthday Sakyamuni Buddha! The founder of Buddhism was born on the 8th day of the 4th lunar month and the Fo Guang Temple marked the special occasion with a little festival in Leicester Square this past weekend, only a few metres away from the …

Swinging Bank Holiday On South Bank
The Queen Elizabeth Hall foyer is normally full of QEH attendees milling around awkwardly before taking their seats in the auditorium, sipping warm gin and tonics and avoiding eye contact with one another in that peculiar London theatre audience way… but this sunny Bank Holiday …
Thank You For Coming
Most people enjoy le petit mort either on their own or in very carefully chosen company. It’s not often a photographer is present to capture the moment when one sets off the heirbags or drops a fanny bomb. However, a new exhibition titled My Vanilla …
Arsenal Poised, Palace Hopeful, Cambridge Victorious
There are only two fixtures involving London’s professional clubs this week and neither of them are taking place in the capital, but both have much hanging on them. Arsenal travel to Turin with that all-important 2-0 lead to face Juventus for a place in the …
