do the protest signs in Baltimore read "We are the 100%, because really, if you're the 1% you don't live in Baltimore"?

Oct 26 Saving the American Idea: Rejecting Fear, Envy and the Politics of Division WEDNESDAY 10:00AM The Heritage Foundation's Allison Auditorium
I think some Occupy folks ought to wander over and check out Paul Ryan's speech tomorrow. Try to help him get away from those politics of division...

And it’s also cool. Some have probably moved to D.C. because they’ve heard it’s a cool city to live in, though not to the extent of Portland.”

Shaw and Bloomingdale are well on their way to being the Brooklyn of D.C. The brewpub will be a true neighborhood gathering place. It's an under-served neighborhood for something like this."
Does every location have to be compared to Brooklyn...

Thor's a great guy - he's made a huge impact on the beer scene here and hopefully will continue to do so.

If I'm feeling up to it, I might march against the "Defending the American Dream Conference" on Friday.
Never been to McPherson Square.

yeah it was kind of impossible to be a nerd at a nerd high school in the DC area and not have at least some interest in the show

Fotoweek, Warhol exhibits, Callahan photos, various gallery shows, Dean & Britta at NG of Art Saturday and other music--it's a busy town culturally right now
― curmudgeon, Thursday, 10 November 2011 15:31 (twelve years ago) link
I'm thinking I need to stick with cultural events since all the sports teams (pro or college) seem so lame at the moment(I stick with Terps anyway but its painful). Yes, the Caps are frequently winning in the regular season, but tickets are nearly always sold out and expensive.

I was on It's Academic a few times during my high school quiz bowl years
Mac McGarry basically seemed like a half-dead quiz show hosting zombie
good news is as far as we know he didn't cover up any child abuse

Tried Mala Tang (Sichuan Chinese hot pot) in Arlington the other night. Not wowed, but maybe I did not pick the best ingredients for dipping or the best sauces to apply afterwards
― curmudgeon, Tuesday, 3 January 2012 22:22 (twelve years ago) link
Is there another hot pot place in the area that you'd recommend? I was just talking about going to one of those 2 weeks ago
― mystical orbs, talismans, rain sticks (los blue jeans), Wednesday, 4 January 2012 03:44 (twelve years ago) link
Mala Tang and Uncle Liu's are owned by the same guy and are good, but yeah choice of meat & veg at Mala Tang has a huge effect on the outcome and I've made some bad choices too. The spicy Sichuan broth is great though!
― spiced with KNOWING THAT YOU'VE PAID YOUR BILLS (I DIED), Wednesday, 4 January 2012 04:14 (twelve years ago) link
Mala Tang (in Arlington) has tables where each person has their own hot pot, while from what I have read, at Uncle Liu's (Falls Church) they just do it the traditional way where everyone is at a big table and uses the same hot pot. I think.

hmm seems like Richard Florida's numbers aren't really relevant to the argument, he's working outside the Yglesias and City Paper definition of artists as white indie rock musicians.
