Blog Rumors Daily picked up on it earlier ("DC Metroblogging Exodus" - also featuring a comment by MetBlogs's Sean Bonner). Other than to say that I've met Don, Tiffany, and Tom a few times, I have nothing to add to the matter.
* Speaking of abrupt departures, I noticed back in March (and never got around to posting it) that DC Bloggers went on permanent vacation, with this surrender notice:
I never knew who was involved with DC Bloggers, which was primarily a blogroll/directory, as opposed to DC Blogs, which had a more robust content offering with its feed, editorial picks, and happy hour announcements (though I note that there hasn't been a DC Blogger Happy Hour in a while -- at least, that I've heard about -- as opposed to previous years. I don't know if it's because of the leadership [sic] or the landscape.)
* I was looking at the Capital Fringe Festival lineup -- I have to say, there's a lot of really interesting stuff listed. I will have to do more research (and probably wait for some preview reviews) in order to whittle the list down.
Tomorrow, I'll be headed over to the Mall for the Folklife Festival (I think the best we can hope for is rain but no thunderstorms), but for right now, off to the gym for a quick workout, any progress made therein to be completely negated by a cookout.

On Saturday at the Folklife Festival, don't miss Marcia Ball at the Texas Dancehall Stage at 6:00 pm, along with songwriter Guy Clark.
Conjunto Los Angeles del Sur (at 1:30 pm) is great, too, but spend as much time as you can in the Bhutan area -- everything is amazing and the people are incredibly sweet.
In the name of accuracy, I should probably point out that it was all the DC Metblogs writers, not just the six who posted farewells, who have moved to We Love DC.
That said, the Metblogs team is looking for some new blood for DC, so if any of your readers is interested, Sean put up a post there about how to apply.
