my favorite part about this is that if you click dude's name it takes you to a site to buy $100 designer dog bowls

I enjoy the fact that this thread is easily found in the search engine by querying for "pitt shit"

Tombot taking the property-ownership plunge OH YEAH.

I just got back from a very brief visit to your fine fine city and I am still getting over the fact that I'm going to be living near the fabulous Kramers book store rather than here. Though Kramer's website is a bit self-congratulatory, or at least the video is. ETA now some time in February, so will miss the Mall madness...

Kramerbooks is a fairly small bookstore with an OK selection and decent beers and shitty food. And it's open 24 hours on the weekend. That's all.
― I'M ACTUALLY FINE (I DIED), Monday, 24 November 2008 15:35 (fifteen years ago) link
TOMBOT I am on crazy schedule for the next 2 weeks but should be OK to look at some places after.
― I'M ACTUALLY FINE (I DIED), Monday, 24 November 2008 15:38 (fifteen years ago) link
I live in Swindon now, so an ok selection and half decent food will do me fine for now :-) I'm afraid I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to cities at the moment...
― ljubljana, Monday, 24 November 2008 15:38 (fifteen years ago) link
Recommendations for better bookshops very welcome, thanks in advance...
― ljubljana, Monday, 24 November 2008 16:24 (fifteen years ago) link
Second Story Books in Dupont is pretty okay for used stuff. Other than that. . . Olsson's used to be the other big indie bookstore around here, but they shut their doors. So you're stuck pretty much with Borders and B&N's.
― Mr. Que, Monday, 24 November 2008 16:27 (fifteen years ago) link
Thanks Mr Que. My colleague whom I'm replacing there also recommended Second Story Books, but she worked in Swindon for even longer than me, so I should not rely on her warped judgement...
I'll drop the excited puppy thing now. I'm showing up provincial England. I'm capable of getting over-excited by Whole Foods as well.

I'll probably get called in to work on some bullshit premise as soon as I get dressed and walk out of my house

lol those fuckin' irish morons who own the fuckin' jury's hotel shut down for renovations on november 2nd
― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 3 December 2008 18:25 (fifteen years ago) link
wait morbius are you describing an actual special feature on the new version or did you just break out the paperwork and a grease pencil while you were watching
Unless I'm mistaken, he's talking about a new release of the original movie (ie the DVD is new, not the movie).
― Black Seinfeld (HI DERE), Wednesday, 3 December 2008 18:26 (fifteen years ago) link
fuck, the jury's isn't gonna be a bargain anymore?

xxxp: haha, neither, but I said "oh yeah that looks like Columbia & Ct." They did an awful lotta second-unit work in DC.
I'm not sure how much if Klaakeanu lands on the Ellipse, I don't want any part of it...

Hey Dan I am available for post-work gathering tomorrow somewhere in the downtown-ish vicinity (note: my definition of "downtown" is pretty much the whole of the district, plus select MD stops on the red line).
Unfortunately Mr. Que has class on Thurs.

― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 3 December 2008 21:04 (fifteen years ago) link
it's a good rate for a good hotel on the Mall, motherfucker
(you want to do better, check the Tabard or the Jurys Normandy (promotional rate), both of which will require more walking in humid DC on the hottest coupla days of the year)
― gabbneb, Wednesday, 3 December 2008 21:06 (fifteen years ago) link
don't need to sleep on the Mall, assface
