Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

Tehresa I did not even get to say a proper goodbye! Hope you are back sooooooooooooon.

Sorry! Sis was in a crazy hurry to get home for some reason u_u

Now we wait...

I had a last-minute cancellation from a friend on my other free pass for Saturday night's Gilberto Gil show at Lisner. My other pals all seem to be busy or aren't interested in Brazilian sounds. There's a ton going on that night, but if anyone is interested in that one free pass (I have to pick up 'em up at the box office) let me know.

Fantastic! Well done! Start date?

What is a reasonably cheap place to get large picture frames in DC? (Would zipcar to IKEA but haven't driven in erm 15 years, so it has to be somewhere metro or cabbable). The places I've been so far want to charge 150 dollars to frame a 25 dollar poster.

tbd upon final salary, etc. negotiation. probably very, very soon!

No Michaels stores in DC? The Arlington one I use is not on metro though.

*more silence*

awww

speaking of the college basketball.. i was so happy to pick up the washington post a couple days ago & see all the SAD GEORGETOWN HOYAS on the front page

<3<3<3 WVU

Somebody was trying to convince me that I shouldn't hold grudges against Georgetown and coach Thompson just because of my dislike for some of his Dad's actions when he coached the Hoyas back then. No way...basketball grudges are forever(well maybe).

agreed -- but sometimes it's tough because JT3 looks like a teddy bear

i'd like to know a reasonably cheap place to get custom framing. if such a thing exists.

I will rep for the Hoyas, because they did me a solid by letting me go to school here. Plus I do not know how anybody could hate Austin Freeman, because he is the best. Also one time Greg Monroe complimented me for studying at like 11:30 pm on a Saturday night, so he is A+ with me.

programming note: tonight's first-round NIT matchup between william & mary and the university of north carolina will be played in carmichael auditorium, rather than the dean smith center, to better accommodate a smaller wine-and-cheese crowd. this will be carolina's first official game in carmichael since january 4, 1986, a 90-79 win over nc state.

sorry, can't help myself

*VERY BIG SILENCE*

TERRRRRRPS

my dad has this same grudge against JTJr, but he went to villanova, and always just talks mad shit about any other big east coach

JTjr used to refuse to let the Hoyas play the Terps and always was bitter at the press and others for stuff. A little of it was tied up in complicated DC racial politics of the time, other things were just JTjr's ego.

how did the terps fit in with complicated DC racial politics?

White coach in PG County much of the time then for the terps (PG was more known then for white cops brutality against African-Americans). From what I observed, heard and read, JTjr inspired pride in many locals by being one of the first African-American coaches and by fielding a mostly African-American team at a prestigious university in a part of the city that was hardly considered integrated.

was lefty D a bigot?

not that i've ever heard

whew!

I was not suggesting that either Pete.

no no, i didnt think you were. just checkin.

whoa holy shit...
"On July 12, 1973 Driesell was credited with saving the lives of at least 10 children from burning buildings. He and two other men were surf fishing around midnight in Bethany Beach, Delaware when Driesell spotted flames shooting from a townhouse complex behind them. Driesell broke down a door and began getting children out. The fire destroyed four townhouses. Judge Samuel Meloy commented. "Let's face it, Driesell was a hero. There were no injuries and it was a miracle because firemen didn't come for at least 30 minutes." For these actions, Driesell was awarded the NCAA Award of Valor."

u know where the left-hander went to college don't u

yeah yeah yeah

puke

Here's an excerpt from a Michael Anft blog post about Lefty
http://74.125.113.132/search?q=cache:5G-HeJZ_3AoJ:www.pressboxonline.com/story.cfm%3Fid%3D1636+lefty+drisell+racism&cd=9&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

The down-home, good-old-boy pitches of "Ol' Cornpone," as one Evening Sun columnist called Driesell, went over as well in the living rooms of white suburbia as they did in the kitchens of inner-city rowhouses.

oh man the EVENING SUN

While supposedly JTJr never would let his Hoyas play the Terps, others have said that it was merely a money issue--how to divide up the ticket income and where to play the game.

"which team are you here to see?"

Spring is here. Yay!

Summer is here! Freaky!

"which team are you here to see?"

^ so much lols at this, still

:D

Awww Pete and Daria, Terps lost at the buzzer. Ugh.

They got farther than Georgetown at least.

let us not forget my alma mater's tragic loss in the first round to KANSAS.

Glad KANSAS got theirs in the end.

I'm rooting for Purdue Friday night against the Dukies...

Did anybody see Sally Quinn cutting in on my turf a little while back in the Post? She wrote a feature in Style on the singer of Pakistani band Junoon. She apparently met him at the Kuwait Ambassador's gala benefit. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/12/AR2010031200075.html?hpid=talkbox1
