The Surreal McCoys playing at Blind Whino, a hip new venue and art space in SW DC, this Friday May 1 to celebrate the launch of their new album The Howl and Growl. The event will benefit a local DC charity.

Meet Brandon Byrd. He started a vintage mobile eatery paying homage to the Rock & Roll era, serving turtle pecan sundaes, rootbeer floats, doughnut sandwiches, and other amazing treats to District Citizens out of a restored 1952 step van. Named one of the best food trucks in DC, Goodies is now also a stand at National Harbor. We caught up with him about work and life in DC.
