Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

Curmudgeon, is that Washingtonian top 100 from earlier in the year? I seem to remember those rankings from a while ago.

Oops, maybe.

I had a little time yesterday and made it partway through the Hide/Seek show at National Portrait Gallery - here's a good review:

There's no question that the show is worth seeing. I thought there were too many works that were just portraits of gay artists rather than gay portraiture, but still fascinating overall. I might head back today to look at the pieces I didn't have time for.

ok I will probably visit to see it, but wish i could wear a T shirt with a big cock on it in protest.

you can

although I'm not sure what that would protest since the video was pulled for the scene of the ants on a crucifix and not for the masturbation

im thinking ants-on-crucifix shirt not as common

Not for sale yet on street corners with the standard DC tourists shirts

So which of the new (or existing) New Orleans and Louisiana food restaurants in the area are the best?

Ok, I will study yelp and area critics and try one myself first, and then get back to y'all.

have booked 2 nights on MLK weekend. I didn't realize it was also MAL (MidAtlantic Leather) weekend til recently. Good, at least there'll be gays who aren't federal powerqueens in the bars.

i hope you can tear yourself away from the queens for a few drinks with me :)

yes, for one night! i'll try to take prisoners the other night.

i hope you can tear yourself away from the queens for a few drinks with me :)

Me too!

Also, lol at federal powerqueens.

Me three!

I would absolutely join the Log Cabin Republicans if they were called the Federal Powerqueens.

mal weekend is a lot less enjoyable since the main event moved to the convention center away from thomas circle, leaving bare-assed leather chaps less up-in-tourists-faces

oh, I am not paying any MAL fees to go to some trade show in a hotel.

i am super down for drinks w/a morbius

Watch out for Blue Line disruptions around Foggy Bottom when you're in town.

^^^is that even a euphemism? i don't know

I don't remember taking the Blue Line a lot. Plus I'm from NY, I always assume nothing is running on the weekend.

Blue (and Orange line, come to think of it) will not be running between Rosslyn and Farragut West that weekend.

That is important information to consider when booking hotels etc.

I think I can survive this trip on the Green and Red.

Too much to do in 2 days, or I might go to see Bobcat Goldthwait in Arlington.

poor terps

they kept it close

horseshoes

hand grenades

just passed Silver Springs, may make Portait Gallery by 4

Portrait gallery is open until 7, I think

just wanting to register my disappointment with the AFI Silver Spring. not very much interesting going on there on the weekends this month.

have you guys made it out to west end cinema? i kinda love it.

crimeny HOOS, I had never even heard of it. They're playing Alamar!

oh suck a duck it's near Foggy Bottom. awful weekend for that.

oh it is isn't it. damn. is it playing through next week?q

it's playing until Thursday. no information on what's happening after that.

of course, i've just noticed that it is streaming on Netflix so :/.

ha a few weeks ago they were showing breathless and i was trying to get my friend to join me, and he was all 'dude we can just stream it at my house' and i was like >_<

i was pretty impressed with the place, it actually feels like a little art house, like maybe 30 chairs in each little screening room, and i got the impression the guy warmly welcoming/goodbying the saturday night crowd was the owner.

we have a little partnership with the dude who runs it - he does an 'opera in cinema' series. i had to work a thing there once but i've never actually seen a film there yet. the seats looked comfy though!

HOOS, if he was tall and baldish, that was the owner. he used to show films at atlas but then he bought/leased this space and renovated it last fall i think? the staff are all really nice, too!

sounds cool. have you been to the cinema in the Goethe Institute? It's a good little place.

I was just considering the screening of Das Rheingold at the West End Cinema but then realised I have to work. ;_;

yeah that was the guy!

we should do a movie meetup out there one of these days imo xp

the whole pentagoon crew

:D

anyone know what went down near U street/15thish area last night? was taking lil sis home and had to detour because the intersection was so blocked w/ flashy lighted vehicles.

in fact, all night, we were passed by police and fire trucks speedily going places. it was almost end timesy at one point.

how disconerting

wait a minute

just passed Silver Springs, may make Portait Gallery by 4

i am guessing he is on a wifi bus!

with a laptop...

morbs into the future!

it's like the '70s klassik The Big Bus.

Usta be a nice indie-film joint (Circles?) in A-M about ten years ago, I saw The Cockettes there.

Staying across from Samuel Gompers Park, who knew? Headed to NPG.
