Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

better to see most exhibits during regular hours and focus on the special installations/music at the events.

thanks, might give it a go. I saw some of the regular exhibits last week. I loved this:

The NY Times on the Obamas and D.C.

How about a tasty meal? The Obamas have enjoyed white-tablecloth dining at Equinox, Bobby Van’s Steakhouse, B. Smith’s and Georgia Brown’s, and street-corner casual at Ben’s Chili Bowl and Five Guys Burgers and Fries.

awww pretzel walrus and his gf gave me THE WAY THINGS GO DVD for my bday in january!

Ummmm, I just don't get the cherry blossom thing.

aw c'mon, they're pretty!

I have similar looking trees in my Arlington neighborhood and no tourists are stopping by to look at them.

I did the compulsory foreign transplant visit to the Tidal Basin on Saturday at 8am and it was already pretty packed. I like them. There's one across the street from my apartment that I can gaze on.

so, i probably won't have at least my same job, or maybe any job at my organization, by the end of may. change is good & all, have an idea of what kind of place i'd like to work for & what field, but on the other hand.. have some time to think on it & wondering if i should take the opportunity to pick up and move out of dc.

Oh noes! To lose you and 69 in so short a span would be too sad!

Is 69 going to Cali or elsewhere?

already gone to SF :(

<3

...although this tasty 2.75 BBQ pork bánh mì is easing my grief

(btw amy d sent me a link yesterday about new phở place in columbia heights that is supposedly good but is charging like NINE DOLLARS for bánh mì. UH isnt the point that it's cheap??? stupid TARGET mark-up. it's just gonna end up another place that's shittier than what langley park and annandale and columbia heights potbelly can offer)

DOESNT ANYONE CARE ABOUT MY TROUBLES

dead to us

charging like NINE DOLLARS for bánh mì.

Saw this on dcist.com Apparently they're pushing a combo, the banh mi sandwich and soup and sumptin else for $9, but you can get just the banh mo for half that (but it's not obvious on the menu)

I went to Beijing earlier this year - mid February, so it was still cold and rainy - and actually saw people lining up to take picures in front of multiple fake cherry blossom trees in front of a few department stores on the main shoppig drag of central Beijing.

Crazy.

Also - 69. How's SF treating y'all?

its great! anni3 got a job at UCSF, we got record shelving, we saw I LOVE YOU MAN last night and missed zack and emily, and we're trying out all the local pizza, and it's all like mall pizza so far.

have y'all tried that indian pizza place--shakey mo turned us onto it on the SF thread when we were out there last fall--fucking great

no but we were talking about it on wednesday! which place is it??

if the Vidalia lunch special isn't permanent it's at least running indefinitely.

also a killer lunch deal at Proof, an entree (from a list of six) and a glass of white or red wine for $12.

wowwww that IS a good deal!

Where to take visiting Britishers gay friend for best bits of DC scene on a weekend? bar-wise rather than dancing?

I guess you winged it, or got the answer elsewhere.

Is this just taking cheaper food and marking it up in price, asks cheapskate me?

from GOGs washpost blog:

Three years after he sold his popular Breadline downtown, Washington baker Mark Furstenberg is getting back into the retail business, this time with a 70-seat restaurant devoted to his current passion: street food from around the world

Yep, winged it especially as it was thundering and raining - went into the first bar we saw on 17th - no idea what it was called but it was ok, with huge white leather posing sofas.

(xpost) it's taking cheaper food and using better ingredients and paying downtown rent so the prices are higher.
