Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

xxpost: Don't go to Rock & Roll Hotel to buy tickets for upcoming shows there, they don't sell em! unless they've changed their policy in the past 5 months. For upcoming tickets to R&R you have to buy online. I have no idea why they don't sell advance tickets in person, if anything it maybe gets people out there and maybe in the bar?

thanks for the heads up! was going to head along just so I wouldn't have to pay that 'convenience charge' out of principle.

We don't sell advance tix in person at U Hall either - many ticketing companies are so online-based now that the actual box offices don't have the equipment to sell tickets and the demand is so low that it doesn't really make sense to.

I've actually become kind of against the idea of completely selling out shows - keeping some tickets available at the door ensures that people who missed out can still show up early and it also really breaks down the scalping market.

Do you update your website if it sells out on the night? i.e. if I wanted to head there after work is there any way to find out if there are tickets available?

ordered tickets online and feel dirty. a surcharge of 40% of the ticket price still seems absolutely insane to me.

We always update our website if a show sells out - tickets are cut off a few hours before door time so there's no confusion

yeah i'm not against the things in principle but 40% is crazy

Well this will be a fun commute from R'ville home to the district. Research, a dinky road that connects W. Montgomery and Shady Grove (and on which my office sits) is gridlocked for I have no idea why reason

there is no other way out

fuck

office shut down at 3, was leaping ankle-deep slush for most of the walk home

<3 <3 quincie

seriously help I am trapped in a suburban office park!

my have to consult the emergecy beers in the office fridge

I'm on the 16th st bus which has moved about 1 block in 15 minutes. Bad plan. Why can't anyone drive?! It's just slush!!!

I love working from home

"there is water from the sky and it has

collected

on the ground

how can we

traverse this on our

wheels of man"

^^^^ the entire city, just now

dunno what it is like in town but visibility is genuinely not good right now up here in the country

I don't like working from home at all.. Much prefer a long walk at the end of the day. for real! I decided to walk a mile and get the bus instead of going to the metro. Would be fine if the bus was actually moving...

otm

the feeling I have right now is the exact reason I refuse to go on a cruise

Visibility is fine in DC drivers are just fools

my only walking option is to walk to lockheed martin next door

should i go to there

do they have gin y/n?

probably and they probably billed it back to the government for $3000 per bottle

then fuck yes

hahaha

i'm SAYIN

wondering if I should get out now and walk home. it's only uh .. another mile or so..

so our office follows fed closures. ie, if they are closing 2 hours early, we close 2 hours early. except 2 hours early for us is an hour later. at any rate, i left at 4 and it took me an hour and 20 min to get home. if i'd left at 3, i would probably have been in a much better situation.

in terms of visibility, i always, always see nat'l harbor across from alexandria when i'm on gw parkway. today: not even a tiny speckle of the lights made it across the river.

I am still trapped in an office park.

I need to get home and pack for trip to Knoxville!

oh no!

yes and packing means creating clean laundry with which to fill suitcase

flight is not until the p.m. so not to worried, I guess

at what point does it become acceptable for me to eat some else's lean cuisine for dinner

it's dinner time, so now? they'll never know.

perhaps you will receive Passive aggressive notes

We follow Feds too, I left at 3, finishing work at home.

My lights are flickering on and off a bit.

we never close in order that we continue to charge the feds $$$ while feds sleep in or whatever the hell they do on snow days

I just checked the office beer supply.

There are:

2 Sam Adams Lights
1 Sam Adams "Latitude 48"
1 Sam Adams "Rasberry Wietbeer"

what do i do

i would try latitude 48, though i don't know what that means

hope you like sam adams

Samuel Adams® Latitude 48 IPA is a unique IPA brewed with a select blend of hops from top German, English, and American growing regions all located close to the 48th latitude within the “hop belt” of the Northern Hemisphere. The combination of hops in this beer creates a distinctive but not overpowering hop character. The beer is dry hopped with Ahtanum, Simcoe®*, and East Kent Goldings hops for a powerful citrus and earthy aroma. The hop character is balanced by a slight sweetness and full body from the malt blend.

gotta be better than the light and raspberry beers I guess

Are you stuck on your own or do you have to fight anyone for the Latitude?

lol @ wietbeer

It took me 2.5 hours to get back to Annapolis and I saw ten accidents along the way.

3 hours from Kensington, MD to my apt like 9 miles away. Took a full hour to go down like a mile's worth of MacArthur Blvd at the end. If it hadn't taken 3 hours to get home I would have been able to go see Georgetown play St. John's and live the dream of booing Steve Lavin live in person.

Manager said because the fed gov't got off 2 hours early, so could we. Trouble is that would have been 9pm. We left at 6.

Train was there when I got to the station, bus was there when I got off the train. Stopped at local bar for a beer and some wings. Now just chillin'.

power blinking more frequently. the last time it did this i ended up out of power for 4 hours. dominion's outages map shows lots of outages in the area, though most are further west in fairfax, annandale, etc. i'm thinking it may only be a matter of time before we lose ours, though :(

so I should just not bother looking at apartments on friday then?
