In addition to Red Derby and the other places mentioned last week, Red Rocks (11th and Park) is also hosting a party.
RedRocks is planning on hosting debate watching parties on 10/2, 10/7, and 10/15.
Hmm, I received the dates in an email but I assume they are hosting a party tonight as well. I guess it’ll be moot if McCain doesn’t show up tomorrow…
Thanks to a reader for alerting me to the dozens of Found Rabbit signs in Columbia Heights. It’s nice that someone would go to all the trouble after finding a pet. It’d be weird, though, if it was a wild rabbit…
This spot is a couple blocks south of Red Derby. I’ve walked past it a few times now and I’m just wondering if anyone has checked it out yet? Thumbs up or down?
Did anyone check it out? I can’t believe I missed it! Photos and the following summary from “loveitmadly”:
“This past Tuesday evening D.C.’s own Paul Alexander, a.k.a. Fender Splendor hosted the first ever All-City Air Guitar Competition at The Wonderland Ballroom in Columbia Heights.
Air guitar veterans, novices and wildcards alike took the small stage before a packed house for a night of flips, thrusts, windmills and good ol’ fashioned face melting.
Baltimore’s Lance Karsten (a.k.a. The Shred) walked away the winner and Tim Granlund (a.k.a. The Six String General) may or may not be getting the lay of his life after shoving his tongue down the throat of a very cute blonde in the middle of his final round performance. The General took second place, with Kolb Ettenger (a.k.a. Vlad D.M. Wailer) placing third.”

Pretty cool house with a basement rental. So is $685,000 a good deal or not?
This is insane. What is this, like, the third one in a month (not including the stuffed polar bear.)? Unbelievable. I was walking back home around 3:30pm on Sat. and some other folks I spoke with said the building had been evacuated since around 2:30pm. This has got to be the most frustrating thing for the proprietors in the mall. But what can you do? If you get a bomb threat, you have to evacuate, yeah? If they ever catch these bastards I hope they get some serious jail time. So let’s speculate on who’s calling in the threats – dumb kids? folks opposed to the mall? serious terrorists?
How long do we think these threats are going to continue for?
I saw lots of red shirts all over the place, turned out they were target employees of course.
I found another very subtle pop up being built on 11th Street. It’s a bit hard to tell from the photo but I like it because it doesn’t jump out at you from the street. My only question is on the size. How much room is actually being added by this pop up? Do you think it’ll provide an entire extra bedroom?
This comes from commenter “Insider”:
“It’s true Carvel is selling Mayorga coffee. However a newsstand owner has already finalized moving into that space when Carvel closes its doors in December. Now for fact 2, the owners of Cafe Asia (downtown) and Asian Bistro (silver spring) have linked up to occupy the former Mayorga space. Cafe Asia will run the sushi bar downstairs and Asian Bistro will serve the oriental cuisine upstairs. I am friends with the owner of Cafe Asia and he has confirmed that there will be no more nightclub activity. Now here is some bonus info. A well established Miami entertainment promoter (owns 8 clubs and lounges) will be taking over the Rumberos restaurant and turning it into a swank lounge. You heard it hear first.”
Too interesting not to post. Has anyone else heard any of these rumors?
