RIP Chuck Brown (1936-2012)

May 16, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Chuck Brown, the Godfather of Go-Go, is a Washington, DC music and cultural icon. He held it down for the DC, Maryland, and Virginia music scene and the party lives on. Ain’t no party like a Chuck Brown party ’cause a Chuck Brown party don’t stop.

The White House on Google Art

April 3, 2012 By

Take a virtual tour of the White House here. Budget some time to explore all the artifacts. This is too awesome.

My favorite artwork is this painting of my girl Hillary Clinton found in the hallway on the ground floor.

Virginia Blogger Summit

March 27, 2012 By

Your boy Phil Tran got invited to an exclusive Virginia Blogger Summit on the Hill hosted by Congressman Robert Hurt today. I am suited up; all black everything with white accents, fedora, and gold jewelry. I got my Virginia flag pin for the day and my Maryland flag pin for a nightcap with my Maryland clients. DC hip-hop and go-go artists Wale, Chuck Brown, Rare Essence, and Backyard Band are playing on the iPhone. I am representing the DMV to the fullest, baby. Ain’t no place in the world I’d rather be.

Also, I am taking the Metro to Capitol South as I write this. I can’t work while I drive. Do you really think I would hurt my bottom line and efficiency by driving? Support rail. Hustle hard.

The Chesapeake Liaison

January 6, 2012 By

NOVA Common Sense is now The Chesapeake Liaison. The name change reflects the new ownership and the expanded focus from NOVA (Northern Virginia) to the DMV (DC/MD/VA). With this name change comes a brand new website one month in the making that tastefully incorporates the colors of DC (white and red), Maryland (black, gold, red, and white), and Virginia (blue and gold – George Washington’s uniform colors). All the old content has been successfully imported to this new outlet.

For more information on the focus of this outlet, please read this page. We are currently recruiting new writers from the DC/MD/VA region with deep community ties to write about local and national issues of interest. Let us know if you would like to advertise with us.

Thank you for your loyal readership. We will continue the conversation with vigor and optimism for our future.
