X is a local showcase that displays the rising artist talents in a wide spectrum of fields.  I’ve become a regular at the X events and particularly enjoy the fact that all the art displayed is created live.  It makes you feel like you’re a part of something growing and productive on a Friday night, while slowly becoming intoxicated (literally and figuratively).  This month 88 teamed up with Amnesty International and held it over in a tight little spot in Silver Spring, MD called Ceviche.  It was a little bit out of the way, and when I arrived I found myself in a restaurant before being told I needed to be upstairs.  However, the turnout was good and the vibe was just right.
