Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

welcome! the weather's great!

lol

you def need to be made aware of this thread

Capital Swamp: The DC Resource Thread

Welcome? Whereabouts are you residing?

uh I meant Welcome!, not Welcome?

Thanks?! I'm in Bethesda, renting an accessory apartment in one of the residential neighborhoods. Everything pretty groovy so far.

I lived in Bethesda when I first moved to the area--convenient place to live, but I encourage you to make the leap over into DC proper at some point!

HAI QUINCIE

Um where were you on 3/5???

:(

Huh?

A Duke reference?

Um where were you on 3/5???

clearing room in the trophy case

also pining for d0m passant1n0 iirc

lol what a reference

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")

thanking a hoos for this image. i have just learned of the wapo peeps show contest.

Oh yeah, they're bringing that back

Vienna/Fairfax NOPE

was thinking about going to United's game tonight.

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.

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"

hahaha what

did u win? does that mean you're buying drinks?

!!!!

TROO JEOPARDY WARIER

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)

hey guyz btw

if you're not doin stuff monday night you should come out to this little thing my gang is putting on

x-post --Congrats.

gov it would be lol if you updated jaymc's thread & mods changed the title to something reflective of having jep with all this ilxors

so Bethesda's some posh-o middle class paradise it seems. still seemed nice enough, and it has the only cinema playing Certified Copy.

bethesda is david brooks' go-to neighborhood for "coastal liberals are like this" iirc

Well, every evening show of Win Win was sold out so...

i used to live at 1623 r, good to see mark and crew've really been expanding cobalt's events to things outside of twink pop sameoldness

Anybody else just get a big wave of smoke blowing past your windows?

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

saw an alert dc message about a fire near 14th and i.

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

Yup. Like that!

I'm missing DC a little, even though the weather here in Tel Aviv seems to be a hell of a lot better.

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?

accidentally put this on nn thread:

momo sushi in old town had the BEST fish going on last night. i've been there before but for some reason this time was WAY better. maybe the best hamachi i've ever had.

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.

"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

That's what I was afraid of.

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.
