“I have friends who are looking for a person named Seth who worked at Impala in Aug 2015. (specifically Aug 30th) Seth was their server that day. It was their unlikely first date and they have strong memories of Seth shaping the event.
They are getting married next spring (Pandemic Pending). And would like to extend an invite if he’s interested.

Because life is dumb.
Who knows Seth?

Kelsey reports: “I saw on Dio’s Wine Bar that someone broke their window with a rock and stole a bunch of wine. Just like many in DC, they are trying to stay afloat and keep employees paid, and this is probably a big hit for them.

Thanks to David for sending from K Street, NE yesterday.
It had been 12 days since our last stolen wheels report.
