i wish. i have express business center in mt pleasant and $20 for 5 hours. though i can go to www.discogs.com on my cell phone. this has already resolved a geeky debate in the past week.

i have a buddy. we are trying for 1300. i really dont know what i am doing cause i might not want to be stuck in a lease for another year. i have made a number of calls and emails, we will see. there is a 2br in the bernstein building that tom linked to for 1295. i am going to visit within 24 hours of now.

Oh hi Aaron! You should come on Thursday! I was already planning on some of us stopping by yr place of employment if you weren't there to see if you were there!

Anyway, I think dar1a will laugh at this at least, I just wanna say that today I am wearing a white blouse, a dark brown pencil skirt with cargo pockets on the butt, chocolate fishnets, and chocolate mary jane wedge shoes...AND I AM BEING GLARED AT BY WOMEN ON THE STREET LIKE I AM A COMMON PROSTITUTE. Hahahaha Talbot's assholes get one (1) fashion.

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Thursday, 20 October 2005 19:32 (twenty years ago)

i will come on thursday as i am not working. NOT WORKING! :-P

btw downstairs of reef ("Lush") is open most nights but usually not until 8 or 9.

dc fashion sucks because most of those people DIDN'T EVEN GO TO PREP SCHOOL! I must wear my http://www.lindafarrowvintage.com/ sunglasses with any polo shirt lest anyone mistake me for a former resident of fairfax or rockville.

"Moi...Lolita"

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Thursday, 20 October 2005 19:50 (twenty years ago)

yeah...we made the mistake of going to the downstairs when it was not open! That was the night we ran into you I think, Aaron? We were there really early, like at 6pm.

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Thursday, 20 October 2005 20:24 (twenty years ago)

its rarely open that early. btw tom your favorite reef bartender is back in lush on mondays.

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Thursday, 20 October 2005 20:27 (twenty years ago)

I worked at the Alexandria Olsson's, but this was like, 10 years ago.

Hi Aaron!

― library, Thursday, 20 October 2005 20:33 (twenty years ago)

hola! is this M of nyc? are you in town?

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Thursday, 20 October 2005 20:42 (twenty years ago)

I live here now! I will fill you in at the meet-up.

― libary, Thursday, 20 October 2005 20:45 (twenty years ago)

awesome.

so thursday oct 27. time? place?

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Thursday, 20 October 2005 20:59 (twenty years ago)

Hey, I may be able to get there, my soon to be new job wants me to start the 26th, and I am going to try and do that & crash at a friend's until I find a place, and also this way I wouldn't have to miss a Halloween party in Baltimore next weekend.. Dudes, I am so thrilled, I am soon to stop being broke and unemployed and the salary isn't bad at all. hooray.

Ally that is hilarious. I am planning to frequently wear these boots of mine, uh, they are Kenneth Cole so acceptably generic urban footwear, but they really want to be combat boots and are great with black lacy tights. OHNOES, fashion goth, oops I did it again.

― dar1a g (daria g), Thursday, 20 October 2005 23:38 (twenty years ago)

Aaron did you recently post up something on Craigslist about searching for a place?

― dar1a g (daria g), Thursday, 20 October 2005 23:46 (twenty years ago)

hey dudes, im cooking some tortellini. anybody want some?

― petesmith (plsmith), Thursday, 20 October 2005 23:47 (twenty years ago)

will you share with WHOMEVER replies?
I WANT SOME, PLEASE.

― carly (carly), Friday, 21 October 2005 00:08 (twenty years ago)

Time: Uh...dunno. Maybe like 9 or so? Earlier? Later? I have no strong feelings there.
Place: P-bar ok with everyone?

― Zack Richardson (teenagequiet), Friday, 21 October 2005 00:22 (twenty years ago)

i want to come! and watch from a mouse hole.

― allyson coco (schmanktenputchka), Friday, 21 October 2005 00:28 (twenty years ago)

wyclef and the apprentice dudes are writing a song called "the rubble man."

― petesmith (plsmith), Friday, 21 October 2005 00:39 (twenty years ago)

this thread has gotten abstract.

― carly (carly), Friday, 21 October 2005 00:40 (twenty years ago)

the washington dc thread is the new chicago thread.

― carly (carly), Friday, 21 October 2005 00:40 (twenty years ago)

they should make it "the rublev man," you drunken fool

― Zack Richardson (teenagequiet), Friday, 21 October 2005 00:41 (twenty years ago)

Washington DC is the new Chicago

― ng-unit, Friday, 21 October 2005 00:49 (twenty years ago)

I'm not twee, I'm watching making the band.

― allyson coco (schmanktenputchka), Friday, 21 October 2005 00:56 (twenty years ago)

i posted with my friend, which is the link above, but if i dont hear any positive news from him tommorrow, i am going to post for myself. the market is so fucking tight! and expensive! i always look at my rent check and have an attack of synthesizer deficiency syndrome, or maybe vacation deficiency syndrome, or maybe dining table deficiency syndrome. i need an accountant.

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Friday, 21 October 2005 01:16 (twenty years ago)

I'm generally one paycheck away from dining deficiency syndrome.

But fuck that--P-bar Thursday it is.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Friday, 21 October 2005 01:25 (twenty years ago)

Where/what is P-bar?

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 21 October 2005 01:27 (twenty years ago)

pharmacy bar on 18th st.

― carly (carly), Friday, 21 October 2005 01:28 (twenty years ago)

i would be close to dining deficiency but i work at a restaurant.

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Friday, 21 October 2005 01:49 (twenty years ago)

Where is a good place to park around there? I have a parallel-parking deficiency.

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 21 October 2005 01:59 (twenty years ago)

there isn't one, really. but maybe on a thursday it won't be too bad.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 21 October 2005 02:00 (twenty years ago)

if you can parallel park at all, california st. is the best place to look, east of 18th. and then behind the marie reed community center, there's some school zone parking that is kinda secret and reliable.

― carly (carly), Friday, 21 October 2005 02:02 (twenty years ago)

you can also take the 42 bus to the top of 18th and columbia and walk a block or two

― Zack Richardson (teenagequiet), Friday, 21 October 2005 02:15 (twenty years ago)

the 42 bus rules!

― carly (carly), Friday, 21 October 2005 03:05 (twenty years ago)

Dear Fairfax County,
Fuck You and Your H2

― dar1a g (daria g), Friday, 21 October 2005 04:10 (twenty years ago)

Pharmacy Bar, can we meet earlier than 9 though?

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Friday, 21 October 2005 12:32 (twenty years ago)

hey guys, has anyone else noticed how much the subject of the city paper cover story this week (Daniel Hudson, Ballou Senior High Administrator) looks like Sonny Sharrock?

― petesmith (plsmith), Friday, 21 October 2005 12:34 (twenty years ago)

Is an earlier-ish meet up out of the question? Because I, like, turn into a pumpkin at about 10:30. I R lame, I know.

xpost to OH YEAH ally

― quincie, Friday, 21 October 2005 12:34 (twenty years ago)

i feel like ive seen pics where SS looks even MORE like that dude, too.

― petesmith (plsmith), Friday, 21 October 2005 12:34 (twenty years ago)

we could go right after work, or we could maybe go to crooked beat and have a group nerd session, then run across the street whenever everyone wants to arrive...

― petesmith (plsmith), Friday, 21 October 2005 12:35 (twenty years ago)

yeah, i was going to make a snarky comment about dc being a happy hour town and 9 being late, but then i realized i was 1) a jerk, 2) not involved in the planning of this. speaking of not being involved in the planning of this, you arlington people should totally carpool! you live in the same apartment complex, afterall.

― carly (carly), Friday, 21 October 2005 12:38 (twenty years ago)

another excellent DC thing: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/linkset/2005/03/24/LI2005032402809.html

― carly (carly), Friday, 21 October 2005 12:41 (twenty years ago)

I would probably just be leaving work, grabbing dinner and heading over to Pharmacy, personally, which would put me there around 7 or 7:30!

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Friday, 21 October 2005 12:44 (twenty years ago)

earlier is fine by me - 7:30 or around then?

― Zack Richardson (teenagequiet), Friday, 21 October 2005 12:46 (twenty years ago)

7:30 works for me. I figured I'd just metro but then I realized that this is my golden opportunity to check out the 90-something bus! Yes, I am too easily excited.

― quincie, Friday, 21 October 2005 12:55 (twenty years ago)

the 90 something buses btween capitol hill and the ellington bridge also rule. once the driver on one of these buses physically shoved this jerk off the bus. intense.

― carly (carly), Friday, 21 October 2005 13:00 (twenty years ago)

Haaaa that's great. I spend too much time on the placid Red line and not enough on DC buses!

― quincie, Friday, 21 October 2005 13:10 (twenty years ago)

DC buses are awesome, I always take them over the metro if I can. Back in 99, I used to take one of the Georgia Avenue lines.. one day there was a guy ranting and raving the whole way from Mt Vernon Square to Petworth about how he was going to kill somebody and women were the f**king devil. Around where New Hampshire meets Georgia Ave the (female) bus driver threw his ass off. Not one person on the bus seemed perturbed by this in the least or to even notice. I was trying to look like I wasn't freaking out.. not being used to the buses back then..

― dar1a g (daria g), Friday, 21 October 2005 15:41 (twenty years ago)

730 it is then?

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Friday, 21 October 2005 16:33 (twenty years ago)

7:30 is looking good.

Bus question: does anyone actual read and plan around the bus timetables, or do you just show up at the stop whenever and hang out until the bus does or does not show up?
