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.

Would love to, but tomrrow a.m. I have to get into 16-FOOT UHAUL currently parked in front of my house and drive it to, among other places, the DC dump and Front Royal, VA.
Back on Sunday, though!

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!
― daria-g, Saturday, 3 September 2011 02:29 (twelve years ago) link
yay I made it to nat'l harbor for seabiscuit! it was very nice weather, a food time save the parking situation.
― tehresa, Saturday, 3 September 2011 03:22 (twelve years ago) link
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!

lol i actually stayed overnight at nat'l harbor last summer!
we sat in front of the peeps store. we did not enter.

None of the college football fans here discussed those new U. of Md uniforms with the state flag design on the helmets and the shoulders. Did they get the design from the Charm City Roller Girls roller derby team?

those uniforms look nice! good job.

I think they're awesome. It's as though they emerged from an alternate universe where Medieval Heraldry never died.

Wow. I don't give a fuck about sports and only think this is cool because it's so fucking Maryland, but that article is some wetblanket bullshit at best. Dawg, it's a forfucksake press release announcing new athletic uniforms for a school. Why bother to hack your way through the stupid, vapid pr shit to the extent that he did? He is one of few people who actually read the damn thing and the probably the only person who saw value in picking it apart piece by piece. What a turd.

― kkvgz, Saturday, 10 September 2011 18:47 (twelve years ago) link
His fixation on the word "custom" is overdone and he ignores the fact that these uniforms got plenty of national attention and this state flag design is not a traditional football uni design.
― curmudgeon, Saturday, 10 September 2011 18:52 (twelve years ago) link
This guy just doesn't appreciate that Maryland is the best state with the best state flag. Also Under Armour itself is a Maryland company started by a UMD alum and now they're on the scale of trying to compete with the big sports brands, which is kind of a big deal. haters gonna hate

Those new uniforms are siiiick. Hopefully UVA responds in kind with a Sic Semper Tyrannis uniform theme.

I DIED, what is a good cocktail lounge to go to if the Gibson is full on the night in question? This is for friends who are really into the Gibson. I am not fussed but they're looking for... whatever it is the Gibson has. Anywhere reasonable kicking distance from any red line stop. Thanks!
― ljubljana, Sunday, 25 September 2011 14:21 (twelve years ago) link
On the red line I like the bar or lounge at Tabard Inn, or Sidebar up in Silver Spring.
