Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

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

That looks great

could use more h1n1

so would tickets to a friday night wizards game be available day of, or should i buy ahead of time?

can't help you with that question I'm afraid.

Shall we talk about the cover of today's Style section, or shall we pretend it never happened?

was it the eatonville piece? didn't read it. but i really dug the edward p jones profile from late last week.

no it was the tweed riders

I am at WWC tomorrow night if anyone wants to meet up for dinner ~7:45!

x-post- Regarding Wizards tickets availability, it depends on who they are playing (team with a good record and stars or not). They also have certain promo deals mainly for the upper sections(student id discount for Wednesday nights); date night discounts; some "guys night out deals" that involve getting a beer and a Wizards cheerleaders calendar and an autograph session with the Wizard girls (insert jokes here if you'd like) and a girls nights out deal I think (forget what that involves; I think drinks and a t-shirt), and other offers.

They call the upper section now the "VW Penthaus".

Can we pretend that tweed thing never happened in London or anywhere else first as well.

Tweed rides are like the gateway drug to full-on steampunk.

I was going to attend when I first heard about it but it quickly became apparent that my tweed hoodie and pumas had no place there, it was just a bunch of people that wanted to dress in a poncelike manner who didn't really care about tweed at all.

wtf are you guys talking about, am I going to need to bring a bat to DC

Glass houses, Dan, pretty sure they do this every day unintentionally at Harvard.

I googled this

WTF

ftr in my day anyone who did this at Harvard would have been dismembered

Guess what? The wife and I are in DC!

WELCOME!

Who wants to go out Tuesday night btw

I do, and I will. We can round up the troops. What time are you guys thinking?
