Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

None of the college football fans here discussed those new U. of Md uniforms with the state flag design on the helmets and the shoulders. Did they get the design from the Charm City Roller Girls roller derby team?

those uniforms look nice! good job.

I think they're awesome. It's as though they emerged from an alternate universe where Medieval Heraldry never died.

that dude really tore apart that press release. good for him.

Wow. I don't give a fuck about sports and only think this is cool because it's so fucking Maryland, but that article is some wetblanket bullshit at best. Dawg, it's a forfucksake press release announcing new athletic uniforms for a school. Why bother to hack your way through the stupid, vapid pr shit to the extent that he did? He is one of few people who actually read the damn thing and the probably the only person who saw value in picking it apart piece by piece. What a turd.

xp

: D

It just reads like he's onto some fucking conspiracy or something.

His fixation on the word "custom" is overdone and he ignores the fact that these uniforms got plenty of national attention and this state flag design is not a traditional football uni design.

This guy just doesn't appreciate that Maryland is the best state with the best state flag. Also Under Armour itself is a Maryland company started by a UMD alum and now they're on the scale of trying to compete with the big sports brands, which is kind of a big deal. haters gonna hate

i see there are no other "beer frame" readers itt

Those new uniforms are siiiick. Hopefully UVA responds in kind with a Sic Semper Tyrannis uniform theme.

I DIED, what is a good cocktail lounge to go to if the Gibson is full on the night in question? This is for friends who are really into the Gibson. I am not fussed but they're looking for... whatever it is the Gibson has. Anywhere reasonable kicking distance from any red line stop. Thanks!

On the red line I like the bar or lounge at Tabard Inn, or Sidebar up in Silver Spring.

Thanks, did not know about the Sidebar.

ATTENTION DCILXORS

A STEVIED IS IN TOWN

FAP MUST HAPPEN

Please vote for tomorrow (Thurs), Fri, Sat. . . *maybe* he will find DC awesome enough to stay longer than that, but we better get him while we can!

oh jeez i am leaving fri night!! i am only avail tomorrow

i can't do sat but the others are ok

insufficient enthusiasm imo

hush you

I can do today but not Fri or Sat

Might be available tonight. Could be available Fri/Sat.

Tonight then--name a place! Dupont? U St?

FYI DC is amazing so far and the Nam June Paik video/neon "Electronic Superhighway" piece in the Smithsonian is one of the most mind-blowing works of art I have ever seen in my life. I am still getting unbelievably giddy just thinking about it.

Also I need tips of cheap and also nifty stuff to do in DC! What other museums are good for installation/video/sound/weirdish stuff? Debating btwn the Corcoran and also the Women/Art museum where there's a Guerilla Girls show now. Or just cool stuff in general, especially hidden or off the beaten path stuff.

Hirshhorn!

Oh ya that's my first stop today :D

Keep an eye on the National Gallery film programs--I'm especially stoked for the Warhol retrospectives coming this fall.

Big Hunt would be an easy and good option?

Im good w/ anything relatively cheap and also easily accessible by metro. Is 6ish good? Earlier? Later?

I second Big Hunt. Stevie, it's on Connecticut near the south Dupont Circle metro entrance. Let's do no later than 6 so we can get at least an hour of happy hour prices.

5-5:30 even better, really. I'm back from Rosh Hashana services already!

I like Big Hunt, but I don't think I could get there before 8:30. (I'm working in Ashburn, VA currently, and will be leaving here at 6:30 at the earliest.)

I can get there by 6ish and maybe a bit earlier.

overslept this morning so gotta work late tonight and then pack for beantown, i prob can't make it after all :(

I am trying for 6... We'll see how traffic is!

At 4th and Connecticut, headed tk Judiciary Sq metro and north to Big Hunt.

HOOS NO!!!!

Back table, y'all

Will try to make it, but 8:30 is probably still the earliest.

i miss that hunt

<3 steve <3

On his way to U St :-)

Fun FAPS I assume...

political gossip department:
So Michelle Obama was shopping in an Alexandria Target the other day, and last night I saw on tv that she and her hubby went to Restaurant Eve in Alexandria for an anniversary dinner.

ZS posted this over on the Capital Swamp thread on ILM. Any suggestions?

ha. even though that's going to be annoying for commute home and return trip back downtown to join in on the festivities, that makes me happy to see

oh, wait. i thought that was due to protests, but, no.
