SUMMARY:Duck Bootcamp for the Holidays with Chef Mark Haskell
DESCRIPTION:Calling all carnivores! \n\nMany of us have forgotten that the meat we buy comes from animals. To reconnect with the meat’s source (hint: it’s not a cellophane-wrapped package)\, local chefs have turned to whole animal butchery. The Whole Beast series will highlight the processes involved in butchering and preparing prime cuts\, as well as some of the lesser-known bits. You will leave class with a greater appreciation for the whole animal\, from nose to tail or beak to feet. \n\nChef Mark Haskell will show participants how to use the whole duck\, wild or farm-raised\, for the best meals. Participants will learn hands-on the processes of butchering\, cooking & conserving the whole duck. You will learn to render duck fat\, the healthiest cooking fat; how to make dark duck stock; and how to cure and cook duck leg confit\, seared duck breast\, and the ultimate guilty pleasure – duck cracklings. Accompanying sauces and side dishes will be served as well. \n\n\nComplimentary beer and wine are included in the price of the course!\n\nAbout Mark: Chef Mark Haskell’s career has taken him to kitchens in Europe\, Asia\, South America and the US. A native of the South Carolina Lowcountry\, he has an affection for Southern cooking and gardening\, and he applies his international flair to these traditions. He was knighted a Chevalier to the Confrérie de Vin de Saint Vincent for his work promoting organic and biodynamic food in the Côtes du Rhône region of France.\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE: Tickets are non-refundable. We apologize for any inconvenience.\n\n\n\nIf you need assistance registering\, please check out these step-by-step instructions\, video tutorial or call (202) 549-4172 for assistance. \n\nClick HERE for more classes with Mark Haskell!

SUMMARY:Global Sounds on the Hill Featuring Joe Troop's Whirlwind
DESCRIPTION:“…some of the most unusual music I’ve ever heard: polyglot internationalist banjo player Joe Troop and his latest group Whirlwind\, a lineup featuring flute\, viola\, jazz-adjacent rhythm section and electric banjo that often sounded a lot more like a guitar. It was something like gypsy jazz leaning in all sorts of unexpected directions\, very hard to describe — a super-group jam with the late Frank Zappa coming back from the great beyond to sit in with Punch Brothers and Jens Kruger\, maybe?” \n– David Menconi\, music writer and author \nCurated and hosted by iconic DC impresario and musician Jim Thomson \nJoe Troop is a GRAMMY-nominated  multi-instrumentalist\, singer\, and songwriter hailing from the Piedmont. He is one half of the acclaimed panamerican folk duo Larry & Joe\, and founder of Latingrass stringband Che Apalache. His music is deeply inspired by a decade living in Buenos Aires and traveling throughout Latin America and the world. \nNow clad with his long-awaited custom electric jazz banjo\, he’s curated an unexpected ensemble featuring flute (Rebecca Kleinmann)\, viola (Bailey Newman)\, drums (Gaston Reggio) and bass (Ramon Garcia) to bring to life a new concept album called “Whirlwind.” \nDrawing from a kaleidoscope of influences – Latin jazz to R&B\, candombe to bluegrass\, classical music to samba\, rock and roll – this group will surely keep you on the edge of your seat. \n \nAbout Jim Thomson: Jim Thomson is an independent DIY music producer based in Washington DC who specializes in booking\, live music production\, artist management\, DJ events\, and record releases. In Washington DC he operates an ongoing live music series called Secret Planet DC that partners with various venues\, foundations\, and musicians all across the city to produce unique\, intimate\, and meaningful performances. He also owns and operates the Washington\, DC-based boutique record label Electric Cowbell Records as well as holding down and curating all vinyl DJ residencies at The Green Zone\, Cana\, La Shukran\, Daikaya\, Le Mont Royal\, Eaton Hotel\, the DC Record Fair\, and other bars and restaurants in the city. \nJim is also a lifelong musician and promoter\, playing drums as a founding member of GWAR\, The Alter-Natives (SST Records)\, Bio Ritmo\, CSC Funk Band\, Time Is Fire\, and he currently plays drums and percussion with Motherf*ckers JMB & Co with Geologist from Animal Collective.

SUMMARY:DC Way One Day Camp
DESCRIPTION:DC Way is excited to start One Day Camps on short holidays and most teacher workdays during your child’s day off from school! DC Way’s camps provide a fun\, positive\, safe\, and non-competitive environment for all children. Our philosophy is that players learn best when they are having fun.

In just a day\, you will see changes in your child’s motor skills\, emotional intelligence\, decision-making ability\, spatial awareness\, self-confidence\, muscle coordination\, and more. \nOne Day Camps are for any child at any skill level.
