Stephen, if you weren't at the FAP I actually think I'd be pretty sad.

Mary I'm not sure what the cross streets are but it's smack in the middle of the 18th St drag in dreaded Adam's Morgan (that's like what Columbia & 18th?). On the same side of the street as Heaven & Hell, a few doors down from it IIRC. You will recognize me as Girl #3 from The Magician.

In military time, that is 1930.

18th & belmont. oooh, presents!

I am wearing black pinstripe pants from H&M, black doc marten square-toed loafers and a grey ribbed zip mock sweater. I'm Hi, Dude Generic.

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 27 October 2005 13:10 (eighteen years ago) link

Aw, Ally.

I look like one of the guys they bring in to fill out police lineups.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Thursday, 27 October 2005 13:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh god, I will never find parking. I didn't realize it was in the smouldering heart of Adams Morgan. I am wearing: black sweater, jean skirt, brown boots, black tights, brown plaid blazer. Will be reading: The Princess Cassamassa if arrive before everyone else.

Is j.lu here posting under a different name? If not, where is she??? Tis the season to be KNITTING.

― quincie, Thursday, 27 October 2005 13:56 (eighteen years ago) link

there is usually (or at least there was when i lived there three years ago) parking available on florida around v st/ontario. walk up 18th, though, rather than cutting through the marie reed center.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Thursday, 27 October 2005 14:26 (eighteen years ago) link

Sorry to distress anyone, I just haven't been posting as much on ILE these days. Although I have been following this thread. Pharmacy Bar tonight after 7:30? See you there.

― j.lu (j.lu), Thursday, 27 October 2005 15:11 (eighteen years ago) link

this is zack and me - we'll be there at 730 or so...

― petesmith (plsmith), Thursday, 27 October 2005 15:14 (eighteen years ago) link

I might try and show up to this.

― adam (adam), Thursday, 27 October 2005 15:54 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm tall and look like a hurricane refugee. J-Lu might remember our encounter at the Unrest show earlier this year.

― adam (adam), Thursday, 27 October 2005 15:58 (eighteen years ago) link

that was a pretty great show. if only they'd played a bit longer.

― Zack Richardson (teenagequiet), Thursday, 27 October 2005 16:11 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm headed out of the office early to maximize pre-lecture beer consumption. See you all tonight. If you ditch Pharmacy for elsewhere before I arrive, maybe leave a note with the bartender or something.

Also: I have just received a flu shot, so if I look a little peaked just get another drink in me and I will be fine.

― quincie, Thursday, 27 October 2005 18:42 (eighteen years ago) link

did dc really wait for me to leave to start being fun?
that is so lame of dc!

― carly (carly), Thursday, 27 October 2005 18:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Where is Flordia,I am coming over the 14th street bridge. Should I just go to V and then turn (left?)?

― posting from work, Thursday, 27 October 2005 20:16 (eighteen years ago) link

Florida is between Georgia and Cuba!

I apologize, Mary, for doing that just there.

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Thursday, 27 October 2005 20:20 (eighteen years ago) link

sure

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Thursday, 27 October 2005 20:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Heh, I thought that might happen. Actually, I think I turn right on V?

― posting from work, Thursday, 27 October 2005 20:23 (eighteen years ago) link

nah, turn left on V

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Thursday, 27 October 2005 20:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Okay, thanks. I will probably be there early (leaving work soon) unless I have parallel parking panic attack and end up endless circling the joint.

― WORKER, Thursday, 27 October 2005 20:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Didya have fun?

― curmudgeon (Steve K), Friday, 28 October 2005 03:51 (eighteen years ago) link

THINGS I LEARNED AT THE DC FAP:

Zack drops beer (!)
TOMBOT will dance to Thin Lizzy's 'Jailbreak'
Pete referred to Kevin Shields as Mark Shields OH NO!
Quincie's...okay for a USC/UNC person, if a wee bit short
Dar1a is one of us
Mookieproof is not developmentally disabled (much)
Steve X has our dream job
Carly should have been there
The Chisox are the best team in baseball no matter their Pythagorean record
Ned needs sideburns
Yanc3y gets puked on a lot

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 28 October 2005 04:23 (eighteen years ago) link

Jesus, dude, how'd you get home so soon? I'm posting in the mornin'.....g'night.

― Zack Richardson (teenagequiet), Friday, 28 October 2005 05:02 (eighteen years ago) link

also i swear to the sweet lord jesus marimba this was the first time in my entire life that i've ever dropped a drink and i could just die of the shame.

― Zack Richardson (teenagequiet), Friday, 28 October 2005 05:08 (eighteen years ago) link

things i know to be true:
everyone drops a beer once in awhile
who WOULDN'T dance to jailbreak??
pete knows so much more than we can imagine
i should have been there
we should all have our dream job
the metro should run later
noone should be puked on "a lot"
pythagorean records should be called upon a lot more

― carly (carly), Friday, 28 October 2005 05:32 (eighteen years ago) link

After you drink Baron Von Munchausen's beer he waits until you go to sleep and then fires 100mph bean bags at your head for 6 hours. The more you know.

― TOMBOT, Friday, 28 October 2005 11:14 (eighteen years ago) link

they should have put that part in the movie

― Zack Richardson (teenagequiet), Friday, 28 October 2005 12:32 (eighteen years ago) link

To the last leavers, I'm sorry I ducked out kind of suddenly and didn't get much chance to say goodbye!

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Friday, 28 October 2005 12:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Thanks to everyone for completely restoring my interest in getting the hell out of the house. I had a great time and look forward to doing it again soon!

For those involved in "predict quincie's cab fare home," the total was. . . $11.50! I argued a bit with the guy but he's like, "that's always the fare! Look at the map!" FUCK NO I AM NOT GOING TO LOOK AT THAT RIDICULOUS MAP whatever just take me home.

― quincie, Friday, 28 October 2005 13:00 (eighteen years ago) link

that's always their reasoning, "Just look at the map!" Sometimes I think hidden in that map is actually a hypnotic code, since there's no other way that looking at it would explain your fare.

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Friday, 28 October 2005 13:08 (eighteen years ago) link

i just ate/drank the weirdo thai aloe drink quincie gave me last night and although the texture was sorta creepy it was pretty delicious

― Zack Richardson (teenagequiet), Friday, 28 October 2005 18:28 (eighteen years ago) link

we all have to come up with gifts to give her next time we meet.

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Friday, 28 October 2005 18:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Zack did it taste like ECTOPLASM? 'Cause that's what it looked/felt like!

Did you chill it or drink it room temp?

So many ASIAN SNAX questions. . .

― quincie, Friday, 28 October 2005 18:36 (eighteen years ago) link

make your choices now

― petesmith (plsmith), Friday, 28 October 2005 18:39 (eighteen years ago) link

tofu salad
bitter melon pork
iced myanmar coffee
sticky rice

― petesmith (plsmith), Friday, 28 October 2005 18:41 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm thinking of bitter melon chicken.

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Friday, 28 October 2005 18:42 (eighteen years ago) link

the reason i like the pork one better is that the sweetness of the pork sets off a biff!bang!pow! counterpoint with the awesome bitterness of the bitter pork.

jesus christ. i think ill eat mandalay tomorrow.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 28 October 2005 18:44 (eighteen years ago) link

uh. the third time i said "pork," i meant "melon."

― petesmith (plsmith), Friday, 28 October 2005 18:44 (eighteen years ago) link

oh really? Maybe I should try the pork one instead. Maybe I should look at the menu beyond clicking on "chicken entrees" and deciding. Maybe I should never ever look at a menu when my stomach is hurting a little. So many maybes.

POCKY G v MEN'S POCKY fite!

youre tossing your SEEDS around!

― petesmith (plsmith), Friday, 28 October 2005 18:46 (eighteen years ago) link

maybe we should get some bitter melon pocky!

― petesmith (plsmith), Friday, 28 October 2005 18:46 (eighteen years ago) link

i got up at 1pm! i should drink less! and you all should smoke less cause now my house smells!

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 28 October 2005 18:48 (eighteen years ago) link

do they seriously make that?

xpost YOU GOT UP AT 1PM??????????? DUDE I HATE YOU RIGHT NOW.

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Friday, 28 October 2005 18:48 (eighteen years ago) link

i dont think so, ally. i just wanted to make a po(c/r)k(y/_) joke...

― petesmith (plsmith), Friday, 28 October 2005 18:51 (eighteen years ago) link

I think my mind just melted trying to follow that that meant pork/pocky! I didn't even drink that much last night, christ almighty.

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Friday, 28 October 2005 18:53 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm going:

squash fritters
fried tofu salad
tofu in coconut cream sauce w/vegetables, spiced...oh, shit, let's go whole hog here and get it spicy. i'm not gonna cry this time.
sticky rice

q: lightly chilled, like a nice white wine. it did taste a lot like ectoplasm. the liquid went first, leaving me with a cup full of aloe chunks to eat, but they were the best part actually!

and what exactly is so "manly" about men's pocky?

― Zack Richardson (teenagequiet), Friday, 28 October 2005 18:56 (eighteen years ago) link

you know what I don't like is the giant Pocky, what kind is that? Comedy sized pocky is good for no one.
