I will be paddling in the DC Dragonboat Festival this weekend (rain or shine, unless there's lightning). Visit the website for details.

My sister and I will be in the East Rising team, which will be racing at 11:20am Saturday and 8:12am Sunday; further race times are dependent on how well we do in the initial heats. Those who do not have other plans for Memorial Day weekend are welcome to come cheer us on and/or wait in breathless excitement for someone to fall into the Potomac.

Wow. I didn't know we had a Dragonboat Festival here. Very cool -- good luck!

This is the first time I'm involved in it, but my sister tells me it's an annual thing, every Memorial Day. She's been drummer for the team for at least three years now.

There's food and vendors of Chinese kitsch too, as I recall. And possibly a lion dance.
