Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

I actually am starring in Transformers 3. Spent my whole steendriving life preparing for it.

An old friend is setting me up with a job opportunity, and I realized that for the first time in my life I don't have anything really tying me down in Texas anymore, so I'm due for a fuckin change of scenery. It's all happened really fast. On Friday I thought "well what if...?" Today I bought the one way plane ticket that gets me there the 27th.

I'm not gonna have a car for the first time since I got my license, so that's gonna be interesting.

Transportation is okay, though there are some dead zones.

I'll most likely be living/working in Falls Church and my office will be a hair under a mile from the Dunn-Loring metro stop I think.

My man up there tells me I might have a hard time in FC w/o a vehicle, but I'm gonna do my best to make it work. I should probably learn to ride a bike.

I am soon to begin applying for jobs in that area, having avoided doing so for that very reason.

The relative dead zone of FC?

well that's not where I was talking about, but yeah. I'm sure there are plentiful busses though.

Ah yes

So yeah me and the bro are gonna get a place together and he's basically insisted I "leave it to him" which has me kinda worried since I'm gonna roll in wardrobe/laptop in hand hoping to have living arrangements set. I'm trying to stay in touch with him about it, but it's all through night phone calls what with his office hours.

Flying into bmore on the 27th so, here we go and shit

no way?! welcome to dc HOOS! awesome.

woah! so soon!!!

yep

this all went down super duper fast

your timing is impeccable! my schedule becomes much more manageable after the 23rd!

haha dope.

Dang...welcome to DC! I keep suggesting we go out to Falls Church for Vietnamese at Four Sisters or the like...watch this space?

yeah like

i will need help figuring out the culturally cool shit and whatnot plz be my guides

crystal thai y'all

also the peking duck place

Many choices in Eden Center or Hong Kong Palace (Sichuan Chinese) nearby or Present on Rt. 50. There's also Ethiopian restaurant Meaza on Columbia Pike just off of Rt. 7 plus several other Ethiopian ones in the Bailey's X-Rds portion of Falls Church on George Mason.

HOOS you will not have a problem without a car--several dcilxors are car-free (see: I DIED, daria-g, TOMBOT [RIP]). Zipcar always an option if you need temporary wheels.

I will be out-o-town when you first arrive, but back on Nov. 3. Pencil me in, yo!

Did anyone else hear Marion Barry on Kojo's WAMU radio show last week? It was classic.

Then early Saturday morning, this news out of Georgetown University in the heart of Washington: Police discovered a suspected meth lab inside a freshman residence hall and evacuated the building. Later in the afternoon, officials said the drug being produced in the dorm was actually Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a hallucinogen.

hoya saxa

I was on campus for most of the day and didn't even know about this! Although I spent all morning in the hospital way on the other side of campus and then most of the afternoon taking a nap in my car. Still, so exciting!

I'M IN THE BUILDIN

haha no joke, i get off the plane and talk to my man about getting around and what have you, get to his place and turn on msnbc and yooooooooooo

ps afaik thurs is v doable seeing as how i have like

nothing to do other than work lol

oh man should we do Big Hunt like in the olden days of ilxdc? Or somewhere Ustreetish? Where's a convenient place for folks? I'm coming from work in the 'burbs, so 6:30 would be about the earliest I could manage.

If Thursday is the best for everyone, some area as central as Dupont Circle is best for me.

i'm agreeable to whatever works for you guys, i'm pretty sure i can get anywhere between my man's vehicle and the metro. i'm out in kensington for the next week or so until i have a more permanent arrangement.

Up for Thurs, anywhere pretty much

i'm good for thurs!
damn ican't believe dan is gonna be here and i don't get to meet him :(
