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.

TOMBOT I am on crazy schedule for the next 2 weeks but should be OK to look at some places after.

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...

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.

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).

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.

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)

don't need to sleep on the Mall, assface
