you’re probably already familiar with this, but he just updated it for 2009.
Ceramics, ladies?
Color Me Mine is having a Layyyyydeez night y’all! It is Friday February 13th (don’t be scared) from 6 to 10 pm. I think the studio fee is 5 instead of 10 dollars that night. I know Kate and Vicky are interested: anyone else in?
Favorite DC Food, Geographically
tumblandrew:
On Saturday night I ate at the Hitching Post, a Petworth joint that kind of reminds me of where Jake and Elwood Blues go for “four fried chickens and a coke…and some dry white toast, please.” I split a memorable half of a fried chicken (note that half = 10 pieces), but full disclosure: there was nearly an hour wait, however, the jukebox was dispensing soul & blues (and the bar a...
Anybody Wanna Celebrate?

White Whine award to an entire city??

winstonwolfe:
Can we just give the fine citizens of D.C. some sort of community edition of a White Whine Award for this week?? “Whaaa, this whole inauguration of the first African American to the office of the President event is making it hard to live in this city for a few days! I mean I did not move to the capital to have to deal with these once in a great while, monumental,...

Inaugural Concert
weliveindc:
It recently occurred to me that the tumblr inaugural ball is scheduled durring the same time as the inaugural concert. Is this posing an issue for anyone else?
I know it’s going to be colder as hell that day but it should be fun.
The concert should be over by 7 or 8, mostly because they don’t want to keep people there after dark when it gets really cold, but also because HBO...

Hey guys
Are any of you really going to the Inauguration? I was going to since, you know, history, but it seems like it’s going to be a big hassle if you live in the Metro area and not in the city itself. And it’s going to be COLD.
Dear Tourists...

Dear Visiting Tourist:
Please stand on the right.
It is hard to properly convey how important that will be for your time here for the inauguration, so please just comply. When you are on a Metro escalator, boarding a Metro train or doing anything remotely affiliated with the transit authority’s symbol, then please stand single file on the right and pass on...
California Tortilla. Will Dance For Taco.
“California Tortilla doesn’t like to be upstaged by anyone so we’re having our very own Inaugural celebration that day. Just stop by any Cal Tort on the 20th and when you do a little “Inaugural dance” for the spunky cashier, he or she will give you a FREE darn tasty taco. Plus, you’ll get a commemorative key chain that has two fabulous discount offers on...
DC Tumblr Inaugural Ball - Sunday, January 18th,...
There’s no shortage of Inaugural Balls coming up. It seems that every special interest group is throwing one of these things. As it is the American way to use any and every excuse to celebrate/consume alcohol/congregate and be merry, please join us for The DC Tumblr Inaugural Ball* on Sunday, January 18th.
*In no way is this an actual ball, nor is it likely to be an event with any type of...
Pre-Inaug Meet-Up?
This got me thinking…
What’s everybody up to Sunday night, January 18th?
I think we should have a Tumblr “Big Night Out” Meet-Up.
I like the idea of taking advantage of the late-night bar scene at least one night during the cluster-fuck that is Inaug Weekend 2009.
Plus, we have a former DC-er in town that weekend!
Recessions? I’ve never been, but given the...
