Those no-AC metro cars are like being buried alive

and they smell awful cause everyone is just sitting in them sweating

how the fuck do people wear suits in this shit

They live in the burbs and drive door to door? I have yet to figure it out. at least I can start wearing skirts. though being this pale is NAGL

i am pale and i wear skirts and i just don't care!!

was all excited that newjob is super close to home, thinking of biking but... even though it's short, there's no way i could swing it and look professional in the summer heat. maybe in fall!

btw idk if any of you regular metro riders follow @metroopensdoors on twitter, but they've put what looks like a pair of new people on the feed and it's gone from uselessly behind exemplar of everything broken abt metro to, like, a really useful rider tool & customer experience responder almost instantaneously. its like night and day--somebody just tweeted at them that there was no a/c in their car, within minutes @metro asked for the car #s to get a tech on it--whether they did or didn't, who knows, but in terms of PR i'm flabbergasted at how well they're coming off all of a sudden.

Consider what it's like waiting for a bus in these temperatures....

Feels like 204 amirite? Sheesh

Just played softball in this shit

i walked a couple miles after work on the way home, by then it was only 90..

so i got some exercise, now thinking about going to the shake shack

we got take out because i refused to cook for fear apt would reach 100 degrees

have decided i'm gonna start keeping my office wardrobe in my cube closet and just start rollin in in my gym clothes

maybe this will encourage me to use the gym & shower across the street from the office in the AMs

I just got back from Las Vegas.

It was a lot cooler there.

On Friday I go to Atlanta.

Probably cooler there, too.

It was indeed cooler in my sc hometown (a few hours north of atl) yesterday than it was here!

hey it's 96 degrees again! AWESOME

skipped the Shake Shack yesterday because I'm trying not to have too much sugar but today .. must go

98. hottest June 1 in over 100 years

sweet lord

arrived at shake shack just before hail storm broke out. seriously. so weird

dear dcites, might you fancy a pint after work on friday?

yesss please

yes but I will be in Atlanta :(

yeah, i'd totally be down on friday!

Hey since I'm just back to posting this week after being on vacation last week, just want to say thanks to HOOS, Tombot, sarahel, tehresa and Z_S for the beers and talk in Ballston while I was there! Great meeting all of you, and I had a really fun pre-Jeopardy time.

Only '80s temperature wise today on Thursday!

how did the audition go??
xpost

I think it went well, but there were some pretty interesting and charismatic ppl in my group of auditioners. One dude had flown over from Yorkshire, UK to audition and another was a Marine Corps pathologist and war veteran. COntestant coordinator twice said she liked what I was wearing, though, so I guess a thanks to Perry Ellis is due if I make it on the show.

^_^

haha rad

btw my cal is free tomorrow!

well depending on what time i wake up/how insane the traffic is, i hope to be around by maybe 6pm?

my only serious demand of any location is that it be air conditioned (though cheap is good too)

I could do with a few pints right now.

Cold out there.

haha yeah i opened my front door and just went "yeaaaaaaaaaaaah"

it's AWESOME

Dancers versus the Park Police Round II at the Jefferson Memorial Saturday at noon.

I am down for this fap today. Do these things get coordinated via email?

mookie emailed me last night and said he probably can't make it due to car issues :(

x-post - I can't make it, but I thought others were interested. Los Blue Jeans, maybe you should just suggest a spot and ask here if others are up for it?

i'd be interested for sure. tons of beer places have mad cool guest drafts due to SAVOR going on

Washington Post on 2 Capitol Hill area happy hours:

Overheard at the conservative happy hour First Friday at Union Pub: “I’ll be over at the Faith and Freedom conference tomorrow. . . . They beat Notre Dame this year. . . . When Snowmageddon happened two years ago, I had a reservation at Minibar. . . . The Weiner jokes are overwhelming me right now.”

Overheard at the progressive happy hour First Thursday at Lounge 201 the night before: “I’m also a PhD student. . . . I’m a lawyer by day but . . . We lost the message war! . . . Libertarianism doesn’t make sense. How can you abolish everything? . . . How drunk do I have to be to say, ‘Hey, Ron Paul intern’?”

First Friday formed in 2006 when a posse of Heritage Foundation co-workers ambled across Massachusetts Avenue NE to Union Pub. They desired a social setting with no strings attached (no guest speaker, no book reading, no dress code or registration or cover charge), so they formed their own.

“At other events you’d be having a good time, mingling, having a beer, and then all of a sudden it’d get quiet and Dick Armey would stand up and pontificate on the future of America — that sucks,” says one of the First Friday charter members, Brian Phillips, 33, communications director for Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah). “But if Dick Armey wants to come hang out, that’s great.”

First Friday lassoed big GOP names (Boehner, Steele, Newt) for guest appearances — nothing formal, just: “Oh hey, there’s Grover Norquist” — and word of mouth buoyed attendance until it became a consistent safe house for conservatives adrift in a blindingly liberal city.

First Thursday began two weeks ago in reaction to First Friday’s popularity and to reinvigorate the idling movement that elected Barack Obama in 2008. The organizers of First Thursday have boasted that they can out-network the conservatives. Whatever that means. (How is networking prowess tabulated? By the frequency with which one uses the word “networking”?)

There's another link with photos also

"networking" ugh. I really prefer to hang out with people I like and not ask them for anything related to career stuff, it's so much easier

"blindingly liberal" lol

Showing up at the conservative one could be amusing (or frightening)

i think i accidentally crashed one of those at duffy's during the ncaa tournament (coincidentally it was a duke game)

So the rally for DC Statehood on the West lawn of the Capitol Thursday evening features Chuck Brown performing after the speakers. I doubt any of the First Friday happy hour crowd will wander over, but maybe some First Thursday types will.

hello dc dudes! i hope you are all healthy and wealthy and watching a lot of tarkovsky. nbd but i'm playing a rad zine release party on saturday at velveeta lounge and it would, of course, be a real treat to see any/all of you fine folks there for hanging, drinking etc. there may (read: will) be free donuts. <3

cool!

where is that? anyone free tomorrow?
