Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

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.

I am going to Woodbridge to watch Alabama tomorrow.

I am doing math. again. Quincie, I'm heading up to Tenley library tomorrow, let me know if you want to grab a coffee!

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!

that is a long drive!

ya front royal is a ways yo

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.

i could probably make it on either one of those days! would <3 to see stevie d + the rest of you!

I can do, and would like to do, Tues or Wed.

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.

that dude really tore apart that press release. good for him.

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.

xp

: D

It just reads like he's onto some fucking conspiracy or something.

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.

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

i see there are no other "beer frame" readers itt

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!

On the red line I like the bar or lounge at Tabard Inn, or Sidebar up in Silver Spring.

Thanks, did not know about the Sidebar.

ATTENTION DCILXORS

A STEVIED IS IN TOWN

FAP MUST HAPPEN

Please vote for tomorrow (Thurs), Fri, Sat. . . *maybe* he will find DC awesome enough to stay longer than that, but we better get him while we can!

oh jeez i am leaving fri night!! i am only avail tomorrow

i can't do sat but the others are ok

insufficient enthusiasm imo

hush you

I can do today but not Fri or Sat

Might be available tonight. Could be available Fri/Sat.

Tonight then--name a place! Dupont? U St?

FYI DC is amazing so far and the Nam June Paik video/neon "Electronic Superhighway" piece in the Smithsonian is one of the most mind-blowing works of art I have ever seen in my life. I am still getting unbelievably giddy just thinking about it.

Also I need tips of cheap and also nifty stuff to do in DC! What other museums are good for installation/video/sound/weirdish stuff? Debating btwn the Corcoran and also the Women/Art museum where there's a Guerilla Girls show now. Or just cool stuff in general, especially hidden or off the beaten path stuff.

Hirshhorn!

Oh ya that's my first stop today :D

Keep an eye on the National Gallery film programs--I'm especially stoked for the Warhol retrospectives coming this fall.

Big Hunt would be an easy and good option?

Im good w/ anything relatively cheap and also easily accessible by metro. Is 6ish good? Earlier? Later?

I second Big Hunt. Stevie, it's on Connecticut near the south Dupont Circle metro entrance. Let's do no later than 6 so we can get at least an hour of happy hour prices.

5-5:30 even better, really. I'm back from Rosh Hashana services already!
