Anyone else headed to this tonight? I'll be at the bar, head partially submerged in a plate of duck confit.

[MelGold]

I'll be on my perch at the bar partially working, but mostly enjoying the firkin festivities.

[goldenticket]

I MIGHT make it by since it's just down the road, but that will only be if I can duck out of painting and some other un-fun house stuff for a little while...(which I'd really like to do!)

[shogun]

Heading to Circle Bistro shortly in order to get my brain-meez together over some half priced wine in preparation for an all-nighter to try and complete a project that's been kicking my ass for the majority of the week.

All are welcome, but I probably won't be good company!

Edited to redline: I think I need a nap more...

I've got two, lower level tickets to the Washington Capitals vs. Penguins tomorrow night a 7 at MCI Center that I can't use. Pre-season game. That means you can drink an extra pitcher of sangria at Jaleo and show up for the game late and not care. Want them? PM me.

[Chris W]

I'd think about going out tonight, but the more likely scenario for the entire weekend is that I hit the grocery store tonight for enough meat, charcoal, beer, wine and other stuff to last through the Boston/Yankees series.....LET'S GO SOX!!!

[jasonc]

I'm going to be seeing Serenity tonight, as it appears to be the best movie of the year so far.

Serenity Now!!

[ScotteeM]

Jason,

I'm jealous! I can't wait to see it! The review in the Post's Style section today was very positive. Mr. S hasn't shared the Weekend section with me yet.

But it wouldn't matter. I have to confess that I'm a huge Joss Whedon fan.

[jasonc]

Let me just say, Serenity met and exceeded all of my expectations. Run, don't walk, to this one!

And it a last ditch effort to keep this somewhat topical, I had decent Malaysian food before the movie at a restaurant called Tropical.

[porcupine]

Husband and I decided this morning to hit Palena for dins tonight. Then I open the Washington Post and find that little feature about the fries. Anybody else going?

[Jacques Gastreaux]

I think I'll stop by Firefly for a glass of wine on my way home from work this evening.

[bookluvingbabe]

I was toying with a stop somewhere after work and before yet another meeting.

Firefly or Palena????

Hmnn....

The choices are endless.

[jparrott]

I know it's early, but I'm looking for an excuse not to go to Culpeper Friday night. Help?

[mdt]

What is going on tonight? Anyone interesting in a little TemptAsian tonight?

[Walrus]

We'd love to go to TemptAsian! But we're still recovering from the most amazing meal EVER at Eve...

[mktye]

Regardless of the quantity of much-needed rain falling from the sky, we'll be heading to the Del Ray Dreamery this evening for some Maple Walnut frozen custard.

[Chris W]

Last night I bellyed up to the bar at Boulevard Woodgrill and had me some meatloaf, mashed potatos, and creamed spinach. Soo good. Not to mention they have the Dogfish Pumpkin Ale on tap!

[Banco]

I'll be at Sonoma's bar at about 5:45 wearing a black jacket and a haggard expression.

[Heather]

I might be occupying a bar stool at Corduroy. The headliner at the 9:30 Club takes the stage at 11:30 ( ) so there's a little time to kill if I skip the opening act.

Bob Mould!

Bob Mould!

You going? We might need to do a DR.com review of the 'food'!

[Heather]

You going?  We might need to do a DR.com review of the 'food'! 

Oh my goodness...whatever you do don't try the "food" at the 9:30. Scary, scary stuff.

[ustreetguy]

It's a friend's birthday celebration tonight so the plan is dinner and then either the Bob Mould show or a bit of salaciousness at one of the *ahem* southeast clubs.

[mdt]

That was a joke! I would never think about eating anything there, believe me. I will start my evening occupying a stool at FF. Tonight might be a great night to try the Chicken Soup Their Way. Anyone else heading out on this damp evening?

[brr]

those late shows kill me - I was at 9.30 last Fri and Sun and I swear it took me till Wednesday to recover fully...

If the rain slacks a little bit I may head over around 6-ish. I've already been soaked once today thanks to an ill-timed fire drill.

What I need is a bar where I can code...

What I need is a bar that allows me to bring a very needy, sweet, separation-anxiety-stricken Great Dane. Alas, I'm going home to a salad and Friday night TV with the pooch.

I was gonna hang out, but I just realized that the roof (on my money pit of a house) is leaking. (I will note that it is leaking more now than it did before I replaced it earlier this year). So, I'm hanging around, waiting for someone to come and take a look at it, on a friday night. Boy do I need a drink. If a miracle occurs and the contractor shows up before 6pm tmorrow, i'll be showing up at ff or corduroy tonight, in desperate need of a cocktail and a good meal.

These are the moments when you invite your DR friends to show up with a bottle and a bucket and you order in the pizza!

Hear, Hear! (Monique, we feel your pain.)

[Halloween]

Paul and Barbara, Thanks for your support! When I realized that the miraculous friday night roof repair was not going to happen, I headed on over to Corduroy, and had the best meal (start to finish) that i've had in a long time. I'm posting about it under Corduroy.

I'm so sorry to hear that! What a bummer. These roofers need to be taken to task!!

[Nadya]

Palena was closed yesterday for the Columbus Day holiday.  You should have seen my face when I arrived and found the restaurant lights dimmed and a sign on the door. 

Still, dinner at Dino was very enjoyable.  Great to have more options in CP.

You and me, bubbah!!!

Ended up with a very serviceable mound of raw meat at BdC and much fun was had by all. But that's an entirely different story.

Your Date, or your Food?

[jm chen]

Sometimes, the workweek seems long even when it begins on a Tuesday. Must be the gloomy weather.

I'm thinking liquid consolation at Dino, in the 6-ish timeframe.

Any other interest?

[JLK]

I'm checking out Vidalia with a friend tonight preceded, I think, by a drink at David Greggory. If you're in the vicinity, say hello. I'm wearing a shirt that falls somewhere in between orange and melon (!) with black pants.

On Saturday, I'll be at Notti Bianche with my parents for dinner.

In between (Friday) is an early birthday dinner with my boyfriend...he won't say where. I was just told to dress up. Exciting!

[CrescentFresh]

I may be heading over to "that spring roll place" in that hotel at 12th and K shortly.

Ditto. At least I think

[DC in DC]

OK, so is Kotobuki going to be a mob-scene now? I'm thinking about going tonight, solo-- I've been before, but can't remember if there's a bar? Do they do take-out?

They have a bar and they do take-out is an option.

[jparrott]

Tonight?

[jjshyne]

(Today) Bday Dinner with my Best Friends and Boyfriend at 2941. (Very Excited)
(Planning for Sat.) China Garden for Bday Dimsum, Kotobuki for Dinner. Favorite watering holes, but my best friends from out of town have not been there.

[lackadaisi]

Thinking of trying out the bar at Zengo...

[jparrott]

Is that where they pile up all the drinks, and you have to remove yours without disturbing the rest of the stack?

Seriously, though, duty calls me to at least drop in on Firefly, Vidalia, and Equinox, so I probably won't make it to Penn Quarter tonight.

[hillvalley]

"When was the last time we had a full blown, take over the bar, DR.com happy hour?" she asks herself while dreaming of drinking establishments where children are not welcome as she finishes yet another report
