Locals will have the opportunity to learn how to fish while eating fish tacos on 14th Street this weekend.
Clothing and accessory store Filson (1534 14th St. NW) will host a “fishing + fish tacos” event at its store this Saturday at 1 p.m., according to its website.
“Celebrate the beginning of the fishing season with an afternoon of tips and advice from local pros, the event listing reads. “FlyTimesDC’s Remick Smothers, Kevin Huntington and Conor Donovan will be in the store providing insider information.”
Organizers will serve local beer and fish tacos from Surfside during the event.

Ursher, baby.
The pop star reportedly surprised a throng of locals when he biked through Logan Circle and Dupont earlier this afternoon. And on his birthday, of all days.
Two Whitman-Walker employees said they spotted “The Voice” coach leaving the Filson (1534 14th St. NW) near the health center around 1 p.m. today.
“My colleagues were totally shocked, yes,” said Shawn Jain, Whitman-Walker’s director of communications. “I did not see him, but they retold me the story, and they couldn’t contain their excitement. We wonder what he’s doing here.”
Other locals took to Twitter to describe meeting the man famous for melting hearts and just totally destroying the charts in the late ’90s and early 2000s:
Usher just rode past me on a bike. Usher is totally allowed to ride on the sidewalk.
