your views on South Carolina are perplexing.

OTM! SotB rules, and otherwise, what does SC do besides refuse to take the stars and bars off the statehouse??

HAY LAUREL!

I am also against hootie. But NC isn't that great, dudes. Chapel Hill was nice but I wouldn't want to live there, shit would get old fast.

BUT THEN WHY WOULD YOU EVER WANT TO MOVE TO CHARLESTON

and that's why the fourth of july always reminds me of drunk suburban dads chucking m-80s at each other.

BEST: ME, CO, CA
WORST: IL (except for Chicago), FL, TX

the pulitzer photography exhibit at newseum is so heavy.

i am actually considering a membership there after spending 2 consecutive afternoons and feeling like i didn't even scratch the surface.

Many of those photos are heart-wrenching. The Newseum is just so expensive.

i got a groupon a while ago! half price. i'd been waiting to go for a year and a half. but at $10 for 2 days, it's definitely worth it.

A friend of mine got the groupons and that's how I finally saw the place. But their regular rate is pricey imho for what they have--$20 something, and its $75 a year for a membership- it gets you a 5 percent discount on lunch at The Source by Wolfgang Puck and Advance notice of cutting-edge programs and other stuff

The Harry Callahan photos across the street in the West Wing of the National Gallery for a little while longer, are worth seeing (and free)

Deeeee Ceeee

Is anyone going to see Mark Robinson sing at Galaxy Hut tonight? GF out of town, buddies can't go, I'm gonna go anyway I think

Or maybe not. Not sure I want to stand around through the 2 opening acts

An architectural eulogy of Washington D.C.

that's awesome, thanks for linking to that!

Some great photos on that blog

yah that rulez

Uh oh,looks like Capitol Police want to keep Hoos and others from the mall. Capitol Police taking over from National Park Service jurisdiction re parts of the mall.

Unrelated, I wonder how long that project to put new grass and whatever underneath it will take on the mall. It's all fenced in now.

I like old buildings as much as anyone but that Ruined Capitol site is ridiculously one sided and would be better off without the copy.

Also phrases like "When we set out to replace our European and American architectural heritage" always set off warning bells for me like maybe the writer is trying to say something else...

Good catch. Skimmed over that phrase

Uh oh,looks like Capitol Police want to keep Hoos and others from the mall. Capitol Police taking over from National Park Service jurisdiction re parts of the mall.

read about this today--really amazed that they didn't even bother putting out an official explanation. i feel like the puzzled quotes in the post article kinda say it all.

Kinda fishy.

So I saw Ian Svenonius' band Chain & the Gang with Heavy Breathing(former members of Apes) at the Black Cat backstage last night. I have to admit I am now officially bored with Ian's between-song chatting and his average singing/talking. But quite a dc scene there last night--Mary Timony (now in Wild Flag); Mark Robinson; Richards & Malitz from the Post; Ian and Alec Mackaye; Erin from Bratmobile; Eli Janney

Kinda fishy.

i meeeeeeeeeeean i don't know that we provoked it per se--especially not by planning #J17 stuff, as I keep hearing--it was already in the spending bill that passed a few weeks ago. it's more troubling development for the long-run than "oh man they're strategizing against us."

I finally ate at Horace & Dickey's on 12 st NE today (after having my cholesterol checked this morning!

where should i go for brunch tomorrow? it is a special brunch but i don't want to spend too much...

Don't know how much it is but what about Georgia Brown's?

Birch & Barley!

i thought about that! and then i thought about being lazy and tried to make a reservation at vermillion in old town but they're not having brunch tomorrow so i am going to do mediocre brunch at another old town place... next time, i guess.

Happy New Year. Washington Post "List" is hidden this year and boring.

This was interesting though
