dc united home opener on saturday night, if any TRU FUTBOL WARIERS are so inclined - they were the worst team in the league last year but i had a blast going all summer
(note to non-TRU FUTBOL WARIERS: dc united games are also a convenient framing device for "let's drink as much beer as possible in the parking lot and drunkenly insult the columbus crew for two hours")

Weird question: I'm going to be on "Jeopardy" in a couple weeks (April 12), and I want to get a bunch of people together to watch it somewhere in DC. Does anyone know a bar that might let me do this? In exchange I can promise 20+ people who are gonna want to get drunk at 7 pm on a Tuesday.
― Suicide Demo for Kemba Walker (govern yourself accordingly), Friday, 25 March 2011 06:03 (thirteen years ago) link
or 7:30 pm i guess, technically
also all y'all are 100% welcome to join, even if the meetup spot ends up being "my living room"

i can't say whether i did! (regardless, everybody on jeopardy gets at least $1000, but nobody gets paid until 3-4 months after their airdate, so i haven't seen a dime.)
it feels kinda goofy to either hijack jaymc's thread or create a new one of my own, tbqh, but it's been long enough - i taped in december - that i'm finally excited/non-apprehensive about watching it. (please do not read into this too much)

Nope, but I'm not in downtown Dc if that is where you are.

Yeah, I guess the fire was under control a while ago, but when it started smoke was just rolling down the street.

Oh and when I lived in Bethesda I would occasionally see Brooks in the Starbucks on Wisconsin at the corner of Bethesda Ave, so I can vouch that this is where he observes his Bobos.

How long are you in Tel Aviv? Did you also go to Jerusalem?

So bummed Gillian Clark shut down the General Store. Gonna have to go on a fried chicken strike until she opens her new place in Petworth.
― Moreno, Monday, 4 April 2011 16:52 (thirteen years ago) link
"shut down". She didn't pay rent for 12 months and then at the last moment asked the landlord who was now behind in paying back taxes(and who seemed to rely on her rent payments to cover those monthly taxes) for forgiveness which he chose not to offer without any cash from her. There's also apparently video of her insulting some customers. I haven't had her chicken but you and everyone seems to say its good.

Clark says she has financial backers for her planned DC place.
So are any of the various Cajun, Creole or New Orleans places now open any good?-- Bayou, Bayou Bakery, Cajun Experience...etc.

went to the cajun experience one i think? off 18th? was pretty underwhelmed.

yeah, my office is upstairs from bayou bakery - it's ok, nothing to go to courthouse over

Greetings from the land of milk and honey and so much fucking Israeli salad that I think I may not be able to eat tomato and/or cucumber for awhile.
I've been in all sorts of Israel over the past 11 days (including Jerusalem), though I opted out of Eilat (someone described it to me as "the Atlantic City of Israel--no thanks). Head back to DC shortly. Please arrange for nice spring weather-I hear it has been cold and rainy.
Should we FAP or something, for god's sake?

you missed a sunny, 80 degree day yesterday! though yes, the rain is back.
