My friend Tim took this photo on the Santa Cruz boardwalk, in Californee, and it has nothing to do with Creative DC, but by God, it is a fun photo, and I wanted to share it.

Links of the week, for your perusing pleasure:

• Check out the new Make DC Weird group on Facebook, “a response to the buttoned-up reputation that DC has and yes, let’s admit, it can be.” Stay tuned for an interview with the creative women behind this project, right here on Creative DC. (See also: my musings, and readers’ comments, on whether DC is weird, after my trip to Austin in March.)

• “The Secrets of Storytelling: Why We Love a Good Yarn” (which I initially read as “…Why We Love a Good Yam”), from – and this is where it gets really interesting – Scientific American. (Interested in storytelling? Check out local storytelling love fest Speakeasy DC!)
  
  
• Inspirational news from the Crescent City Art Project in New Orleans – a testament to the power of art to create change in communities. DC is such a hub for the non-profit community…how can activists and artists come together? (And what parternships are already in place? Let me know!)

Still want more? Check out my Creative DC bookmarks on del.icio.us (for those of you who aren’t webheads: del.icio.us.com is a site where you can share bookmarked websites and articles). If you’re on del.icio.us, too, join my network!
