Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

Every time I try to put my drinks on the ledge of the DJ booth there they slide off and bounce off the floor :/

whoever designed that place is clearly an asshole

sorry i'll miss you Stevie! hold yr damn drink. :)

I MEAN WHY WOULD YOU SLOPE THE LEDGES OF A DJ BOOTH, THEY ARE CLEARLY SPACES MEANT TO HOLD CONTAINERS OF LIQUID

I am curious about the Adrian Loving, DC dj, artist, schoolteacher, exhibit http://lilsoso.com/lsp-picks/art-pick-adrian-lovings-fade-2-grey-opens-march-7th

press release excerpt:

Fade 2 Grey is a groundbreaking new solo art exhibition by artist Adrian Loving. His works explore androgyny, gender roles, fashion and the sensationalism of style in 80’s pop music. Included in this show is an installation of rare album covers from the late 1970’s through the mid 80’s from Loving’s personal collection. Themes of New Wave, Punk, Electro Boogie, New Romantic, Sexy Robots, Hair Bands and Jheri Curl Funk all play out through the identity of the artists presented on each album. The primary focus of the exhibition will be a series of six video art installations that will explore the aesthetic tension of duality in the visual identity of select musicians including: Patti Smith, David Bowie, Grace Jones, Sylvester, Boy George and Prince

What's going on the weekend of Fri 4/4 - Sun 4/6?

Photographer Winogrand exhibit plus a couple other museum retrospectives at Phillips and elsewhere;

U St Music hall has Dean Wareham Friday, Grandmaster Flash Saturday and others. There's various interesting to me Latin shows Friday the 4th-- El Gran Combo at the Howard; Bobby Sanabria at the Smithsonian; a Cuban timba group at Artisphere; reggaeton rappers Jowell & Randy out in the burbs somewhere

adrian's a good dude

saw some of his visual stuff a few years ago that i really enjoyed, very colorful & thought provoking

I can't believe I'm going to the Nationals home opener on 4/4 instead of a Kraftwerk show, 20 year old me would disown myself

I can't believe you don't want me to put my drink on the dj booth

history will vindicate me

OK DCilxors, this is probably a long shot, but anyone wanna FAP on Sunday or Wednesday? I am in town briefly (back permanently on May 1). Won't have a car but can Metro wherever.

I could drink either evening.

I'm around til Mon morning, but possibly seeing Stacy Keach as Falstaff on Sunday night.

Is anything institutional or arty open late on Friday, like til 8? I probably need something to do 4-8pm besides eat dinner.

(also do these Farragut food trucks exist, if I get off the bus downtown at 2?)

Longtime lurker, but it's a thrill to know Dr. Morbs might come to my theatre.

what's the deal w/ those $20 tix? I don't have to be a student?

Smithsonian American Art Museum at 8th & F Sts NW is open til 7 on Friday;

Show is still in previews, so they're trying to fill the house.

I would see Part 2 if you're already familiar with both plays. Better Keach.

I am, but it'll take another trip in a month or so for p2.

so is anyone interested in talking about this jim graham/brianne nadeau race in ward 1 or

http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/in-ward-1-4-term-incumbent-jim-graham-tries-to-fend-off-tough-challenge-in-brianne-nadeau/2014/03/19/7217a1a8-aac4-11e3-adbc-888c8010c799_story.html

Nadeau, a communications consultant, is hoping to rally enough residents to think twice about Graham, who for 15 years has enjoyed nearly iconic status in the fast-growing, highly diverse Ward 1 thanks to his quirky profile — thick-rimmed glasses and colorful bow ties — and close attention to constituent services.

A self-described ethical “lapse” has pitted Graham against a feisty, well-financed challenger in Nadeau, who hopes to capi­tal­ize on anti-corruption sentiment in the wake of last week’s guilty plea from a prominent businessman who financed an illegal, off-the-books effort to help elect Mayor Vincent C. Gray four years ago.

“There is a mood in D.C. right now,” Nadeau said Monday at her campaign office a few blocks north of the U Street corridor. “People are angry that their trust has been violated, and they should be angry.”

Graham acknowledged that Gray’s legal troubles haven’t done him any favors. And he conceded that Nadeau is one of the more serious challengers he has faced over the years. But he scoffed at her laserlike focus on his ethics record, calling it her campaign’s only plank. And he said he believes that his constituents still see him as someone who “gets things done.”

leftys i know are divided between people talking about 'lets topple graham and show we can have an impact' and 'you realize nadeau is like the gentrification vaguard right, how do you think she got wells endorsement'

I'm not a big Brianne fan but Jim Graham is THE WORST

the case 'for' him that i'm hearing is that if you're gonna target a councilmember for a takedown, a reliably liberal-voting guy who's arguably 'the least corrupt' on the council seems like an odd choice unless your unstated goal is to remove the least bad old guard for replacement by a representative of young transplants

or if you like the closest things to a case *for* him is a case against the demographic changes brianne's supporters rep

loool

http://www.washingtonian.com/blogs/capitalcomment/local-news/dc-council-candidates-fight-about-ethics-outside-starbucks.php

DC Council member Jim Graham had to be pulled away by one of his staff when he got in the face of Brianne Nadeau, his opponent in next week’s Democratic primary.

“I’m a public official, which you will never be,” Graham barked while wagging his finger at Nadeau in the lobby of the JW Marriott Hotel in downtown DC.

I'd like to hear an argument for Graham being 'the least corrupt' member of the council and would like to present DC ethics board findings as a counterargument

Have a fun weekend here Morbs

thx, on da bus, if i get there by 2 gonna try find food trucks

woooo

kinda disappointed by today's selections in front of Union Station... was hoping for Basil Thyme, not DC Slices.

http://foodtruckfiesta.com/dc-food-trucks/

I have no food trucks near my dayjob

The Ward 1 direct mail campaign is completely out of control, including 2-3 of the same flyer showing up each day. The latest wave included one from Graham outlining the condo assistance charge. That said, I liked the no-frills, pro-Gray flyers the DC Tenants Advocacy Coalition taped up on bus shelters downtown.

I am coming to DC for a few days specifically to vote for Wells.

Actually I am coming to DC for a few days specifically to help spouse procure employment, as I am doing my best not to be employed until January 2016.

But since I'm there anyway, I'll be voting for Wells and SO SHOULD YOU.

Also if anyone wants to give me a little bit of a job (like, fewer than 10 hours a week), I will do whatever you want! Maybe not competently, but I will do it! There are a few things I do competently so I can offer those services up as well.

QUINCE I HAD BETTER SEE YOU BTWN 4/4 AND 4/6 OR THE STREETS WILL BE FLOODED W/ TEARS

AND SPILLED BEER

I WOULD LOVE TO BUT I HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE TEXASS ON THE 3RD *crying* BECAUSE I AIN'T GOT NOT PLACE IN DC ATM!

40 years old, unemployed, homeless, living with parents, no shame.

OK, a little shame.

I am currently giving spouse a hard time because he refuses to apply for a Director of IT job for THE HELICOPTER ASSOCIATION.

I mean wtf FREE HELICOPTERS, ALL THE TIME amirite?

Are they still in Alexandria? I worked there years ago! (To be fair, when they offered me a regular job I turned them down, but still....)

GRAY PRIDE

gray's campaign manager is trolling him right

j.lu, yes, that's the place? He's not that keen based on job description, but HELICOPTERS for god's sake!

early Fri eve in Kalorama:

joggers
dogwalkers
one guy singing "We Didn't Start the Fire"

This is opening today at the Corcoran, I wonder if it will be worth checking out

Rineke Dijkstra: The Krazyhouse
March 29-June 15, 2014

The Krazyhouse (Megan, Simon, Nicky, Phillip, Dee), Liverpool, UK is a four- channel video installation by Rineke Dijkstra, created in 2009 at a popular dance club in Liverpool. It presents in sequence a group of five young people in their teens and early twenties dancing and sometimes singing along to tunes they selected themselves. While the kids' selections of music and dance are diverse, each one seems both self-conscious and lost in the moment looking for some way to transcend their daily lives and make an impression for others.

maybe I can hit that today, along w/ Winogrand and Bldg Museum.

Def go to that destructive art show at Hirshhorn.

btw can confirm morbs's woody allen impression is a++

http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/youngandhungry/2014/03/26/dupont-circle-citizens-take-on-loud-nightclubs-one-decibel-reading-at-a-time/

Shouldn't these folks just be monitoring decibels from their homes and not from the back walls of these Connecticut Avenue & Dupont Circle clubs

maybe I can hit that today, along w/ Winogrand and Bldg Museum.

Def go to that destructive art show at Hirshhorn.

I still need to see all these. Been too busy working on weekends.

btw the children have won at the Building Museum -- randomly kicking soccer balls and running amok over the entire main floor.

what is the deal with those "for US Senator" posters around town? They don't give u ppl senators.

SHADOW SENATOR!

I figured something like that; how pie-eyed.
