Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

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.

yeah

I am no fan of Stop the Machine--all signs I recognize suggest they're a front for the Int'l Socialist Organization trying to hijack the Occupy momentum for their own ends, because that's the kind of thing the ISO does. After OWS became a thing the Stop the Machine leaders started throwing the word Occupy into all their press stuff & online engagement. V distasteful tactics imo, but I've got a short fuse when it comes to authoritarian ideological hijackers like them.

Stop the Machine's permit to be in Freedom Plaza expires tonight, so their plan was to hoedown in Freedom Plaza til midnight and then pack up and either go home or join up with the #occupy crew at McPherson. #Occupy is expecting to grow by another hundred or so tonight as a result.

I hope those answer.org folks who used to corrupt anti-Iraq War protests aren't involved either

^ totally the same people

"The Workers World Party Says Occupy Movement is 30 Years in the Making"

^ 'see, isn't it a good thing we're here to save the day??'

Guys I miss all of you

Where are you now Stevie?

I'm in Baltimore occupying a city square. It's fun here!

do the protest signs in Baltimore read "We are the 100%, because really, if you're the 1% you don't live in Baltimore"?

Saving the American Idea: Rejecting Fear, Envy and the Politics of Division WEDNESDAY 10:00AM The Heritage Foundation's Allison Auditorium

I think some Occupy folks ought to wander over and check out Paul Ryan's speech tomorrow. Try to help him get away from those politics of division...
