Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

overnight, definitely.

fashion news: on the way to get a coffee this morning i walked past a girl wearing the acne 'pistol' boots in black. WANT

ooh googling now

super cute! you should get.

they are fantastic. i preordered a pair in a different color. shouldn't spend the money but i think what i'll do is sell this one pair of rachel comey boots that i haven't worn because they really only go with cute dresses and that's not my thing

some school cancellations today but that's about it.

Noticed but did not buy the new Washingtonian mag in the grocery store with its "best cheap eats" theme. Washingtonian defines 'cheap" I think as $25 or something like that.

after waiting out storm in saratoga (no power, crazy winds) we finally got on the road at 5:45pm! arrived home a bit before 1 and were SO relieved to find full power and no evidence of flooding :D

Yay!!! I was thinking of you.

Thanks again for the bookshop tips. Politics & Prose was pretty ace and Kramerbooks actually had what I looking for.

Anyone got H St. NE parking tips? Bad areas/good spots/That Safeway parking lot down the road?

I actually parked up there earlier in the summer, I think I just parked in residential on-street parking north of H street, presumably it was after permit hours. My car didn't get jacked up or anything, if that's what you mean by "bad areas", but it was just one time?

Isn't parking complicated on some streets also by the street-trolley car construction.

The shops there used to help fund a bus from the metro but I'm not sure if they're still doing that

They discontinued that bus at the beginning of the year.

Yeah, "bad areas" as well as just resident-only parking (if that exists here?) areas etc. I guess I mostly wanted to know if it was easy and do-able or a pain. It'll be a Wednesday night. I've never really driven in the city before. SCARY.

You'll be fine (I say optimistically--old man only had bad experiences parking in DC and Md back in the'80s), just give yourself extra time. H Street spots that were closed due to construction have reopened, so maybe there will be less competition for spots on other streets(or maybe you'll get lucky and find an H Street spot.

old man me

Pretty much every time I've gone to H St in a car with someone there's been parking available on H or within a block of it. It's really only a problem on weekends.

Here's Washingtonian's 2011 "Cheap" Eats list (supposedly $25 a meal). Do they still do a "dirt cheap list"? I like Masala Art on Wisconsin Ave but it's not exactly cheap

Masala Art is great! We were worried when we moved that we'd stray out of the (very) limited delivery area, but we made the cut and now order out way too much.

Discovered a secret restaurant in Blagden Alley tonight?

was it R0gue 24?

somehow i knew you'd know abt it

lol I designed it

well then!

it is gorgeously designed fwiw :)

thank you thank you

It closed for the final time last year but I think you really would have liked Fight Club in Blagden Alley:

whatever with all the bogus reporting so people could get their name in the paper. As long as Dan and Jenn are there fight club is still around dumbasses.

<3 <3 loyal skate kidz

yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus dumbasses.

Overheard a conversation today about R0gue 24 while in line at Chinat0wn Coffee Co today. I like that place but damn if 8 minutes for an iced tea isn't making me rethink the artisanal coffee/tea boom.

Hey Quincie:

Since no one else wants to tell you their Labor Day plans, I will tell you that I will be away. If I was here I think this Sunday night event I mentioned over on ILM's Capital Swamp thread could be fun:

THE NSO PAYS TRIBUTE TO

LEGENDS OF WASHINGTON MUSIC:

Sousa, Ellington, and Brown

Chuck Brown to Perform

Sunday, September 4, at 8 p.m.

West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol

I am going to Woodbridge to watch Alabama tomorrow. That's all I've got.

Was planning on saving my one final pillage of the Borders at Bailey's Crossroads for the weekend but went yesterday instead. Bunch of copies of Dorian Lynskey's 33 Revolutions Per Minute for 60% off if anyone wants to get in on that action. Also one copy left of Nick Cave's The Death of Bunny Munro for 70% off is anyone was unwilling to pay full price to test out those waters.

i am doing fun things like cleaning my apartment and going to the dmv and maybe a bike ride if it doesn't rain too much. also i will be doing more fun things like laundry to prepare for my trip to seattle. maybe if i am lucky i will go to see seabsicuit at nat'l harbor tonight. what an amazing weekend. sigh.

also: footballz is starting, dar1a to thread

lol. i am deliberately spending less time on the web lately so just saw this. watching football right now. baylor vs tcu. i could not possibly care less about these teams but it's football and it's on tv (also this game is INSANE)

i'm ok with waiting for artisanal coffee at f1lter coffeehouse or peregr1ne. haven't tried the one on h st yet!

yay I made it to nat'l harbor for seabiscuit! it was very nice weather, a food time save the parking situation.

I have been to nat'l harbor twice! Overnight! Don't ask!

Did you visit the Peeps store?

Anyhow, important shit here: I have recently learned that DC will be graced with a Stevie D earlyish next week. If possible, clear Monday or Tuesday (or maybe Wed) for FAP! Unless, uh, Stevie D doesn't actually want to see any of us. In which case, fuck it--FAP anyway!

Overnight!

askin

It is somewhat embarrassing.

lol i actually stayed overnight at nat'l harbor last summer!

we sat in front of the peeps store. we did not enter.

i get back from seattle on redeye at 5am monday so i would like to voice preference for stevie fap tues or wed.
