Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

Tut-tutting at work over colo(u)r pics on more and more pages.

Weekend section still contains some nice stuff, but the editor(who was/is in charge of the kids post page) seems to have dumbed down some pages. Plus less cd reviews doesn't make us music geeks happy. Plenty of sidebars to make it look like you're looking at a computer screen.

Awww DC is just not the same without 69 and pretzel walrus. Come back and see us--we miss you!

what is this thing

“I’m allergic to rope lines,” joked one Congressional staffer. “Do you know who I work for?”

GETTING IN: Reservations help, as does a West Wing hard pass.

DRESS CODE: “Casual sophistication” — suits with loosened ties, trendy dresses and BlackBerrys.

SIGNATURE DRINK: Dark and Stormy — rum and housemade ginger soda; $15

$15 DARK AND STORMY WTF???

shouldn't "allergic to rope lines" imply you avoid such places altogether??

The ballsy and hilarious move about the drink pricing is that ALL the cocktails are $15 - some of them are absolutely worth $15, but also the people ordering vodka cranberrys get charged $15.

Nice place to kick it at 3pm on a Wednesday, otherwise it's just doucheville... WITH A VIEW. And, despite the press, having a nicer hotel there has not actually made the view any better than when it was Hotel Washington.

Are there any coffee places in DC like Tryst, other than Tryst? Busboys and Poets is ok but kind of loud and really try-hard.

so for REALZ does anyone have a suggestion for, say, Sun or Mon night the week of THANKSGIVING when my lovely wife and I will be all up in yr grill?

(xpost) for coffeeshops, check out Big Bear Cafe, Mid City Caffe, or Chinatown Coffee Co.

HI DERE are talking FAP? We got places. Where are you staying?

are we talking Sun-Mon before Tgiving? if so we are around, would totally do a HI DERE-themed FAP

re coffeeshops, I second Big Bear, and the above-mocked Tynan may be like a smaller lower-key Tryst (haven't had a chance to try it yet)

Yeah Sun-Mon before or after Tday? Let us not forget to summon BOT and Kitties for HI DERE FAP.

Before! And not sure where we're staying yet but it's like to be L'Enfant Plaza or someplace else downtown

oh for coffeehouses also Sidamo and Sova.

may finally be trying thai x-ing tonight. hope it's as good as people say!

Anyone interested in ethiopian on Wednesday night in the U-ish area?

I mean, I WILL eat all these kitfo by myself, but really a cuisine best enjoyed with a posse.

i could go for that!

Great! I get out of the clinic at 7:30. Suggestions for restaurant? I always like Dukem and the place beside Dukem that isn't Dukem.

can I be a wet blanket and point out that in this age of swine flu epidemics, going for cuisine that usually involves a whole bunch of ppl eating off of the same gigantic plate may not be a good idea

no, you can't

It's OK we'll have a certified virologist there to supervise.

ate etete fri night with minimal viral infections iirc

that raw beef dish even

See? Berebere clearly has antimicrobial qualities.

It’s come to this: The Washington Post Style section, for years known as “the sandbox” because it was a playground for sometimes immature writers, has turned into a boxing ring because one of the editors was revolted by a story that came across his desk on deadline.

oh dear god in heaven

that feature did suck, however

I have a Wednesday evening meeting right across from Dukem, in fact. Trying to nail down a time but I'm always up for Ethiopian.

okay in truth I'm just jealous that you guys are having Ethiopian

t;_;t

probably can't make it but may be able to, will know on the day.

so we're going to stay here:

thanking u, Priceline!

Alright ppl I will be at Dukem tomorrow (Wed) at 7:45 be there or be without injera.

can't make it but raise a glass of taj for me

or tej

likewise

I can't either and I don't know what taj or tej are. Yet.

Tej is ethiopian honey wine and it is... sometimes not bad if you're in the right frame of mind.

Kitfo... wat... mitmita... injera... sambusa... gored gored... awaze... these are all things that it is very important to research.

Goddamit now I wanna go out and get ethiopian food tonight.

By the way, the new cheesesteak place just south of 14th & U is legit!

I've only had one Ethiopian meal and I know I had some of those things and one of them was injera. It tasted like carpet underlay, but I'm putting that down to picking the wrong restaurant.

mookie, I'll be in NY with a Russian friend prob 10/11 Nov and again with a Britisher friend briefly on 21/22 Nov - let me know if you and Mrs Mookie happen to be around and fappable. 21/22 probably more feasible, Russian friend's English is not all that.

totally fappable!

Great! Now I have to explain to my friend what ILX is. I'll talk with her and send you a webmail.

Dukem w/daria & quincie the other night was DELICIOUS
