Hold on I have to stop laughing for a second. Ok, this is a photo from my local bodega in Petworth (from the cell phone, c’mon I can’t always have my camera on me). At any rate, I was stunned and overjoyed to see that they were selling the traditional kosher wine Manischewitz. Manischewitz is the sickly sweet wine that every Jewish boy and girl knows all too well. Why it is being sold in Petworth that probably has a .05% Jewish population is beyond me. But the mere thought of someone slugging Manischewitz on the side of the road is simply beautiful. And a bit sad. I think this may be the only bottle of Manischewitz in the world that is located behind two inches of bulletproof glass…Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some Manischewitz to drink.

Thanks for the reminder Pauper. I have the t shirts in my living room and I’m looking forward to giving them out to the ten and selling them to anyone else who wants one for $10 at the launch party. So a quick question first. Would people prefer Thursday, October 4th or Thursday October 11th? Venue: Temperance Hall. Right now I’m leaning towards the 4th.

I met with my IT guy yesterday and we are shooting for PrinceofPetworth.com to be launched on Oct. 1st with the party soon after. When the new site is launched there will be a section for forums so that you can query the entire community. But in the meantime we have a new resident, Marcus, who is closing on his house next Friday.
Marcus asks: ” I am closing on a house in Petworth next Friday that is a fixer upper. I’d like to use a local contractor for my AC/Heating work. Where could I inquire about a service like that?”
So any recommendations?

Odentex, Christina, Bogfrog, Kelly, Project KB, Columbia Heights Chic, Pauper, Lazy Cake, Kelly, Susan, and Reuben. I’m sorry for the folks who I left off. Despite my claim, this was a very unscientific method. For those who didn’t win you’ll be able to purchase a shirt for $10 at the launch party to be announced soon. For those who did win, you’ll have to email me directly at [email protected] so I can confirm you are who you say you are at the party. Stay tuned for party details which should be finalized in the next week or two.

How is possible to live right in the middle of the city and sit outside on your porch and listen to the crickets? How is that possible? To make things even better, a neighbor across the street came out to sit on his porch and listen to the baseball game on his radio. I swear sometimes I feel like I can understand people reminiscing about the 50s. Sitting on the porch, drinking a beer, listening to a baseball game and with the crickets chirping in the background. And there aren’t even any mosquitoes tonight!

I went to El Limeno tonight to get some of my favorite tacos. The place was, sadly, dead empty. Except for two patrons sitting at the bar. Well, the two patrons were cursing like sailors. Not in a gratuitous way but merely as a matter of fact. So it got me thinking, in a sit down restaurant you usually don’t expect to hear the f word dropped every few seconds. But then again the place was dead empty. So does it really matter? Is cursing loudly bad for a restaurants business? We are not talking about a pub here. Should the owner have said something? I’m really conflicted about this. What do you do when you have patrons cursing loudly in your restaurant?
And go to El Limeno please, if that place doesn’t make it we will be losing a true treasure.

For a sneak peak at the women’s shirts you can click here.
The men’s shirts can be seen here.
And yes the T-shirts are American Apparel. Please don’t complain too much if you don’t like them as I’ve already ordered them…

Well, this is the one room in my house I’ve had renovated. As I haven’t got my new camera yet, all there is, is this small photo from my phone. This is what you guys have forced me to do. Send more renovation photos please! I of course didn’t redo the bathroom on my own. The contractor convinced me to spend $1000 bucks more for a whirlpool bath which I have used all of once. And then I had to take a shower. Anyway, send more renovation photos or I’ll be forced to show you my kitchen…
