I believe this may be the first time in my life that anyone has ever labeled me a shrimp. It's quite enjoyable. Nice to see everybody. Sorry I'm late. Is the bar still open?
They have the internets in South Africa?!?

Does anyone know if Old Siam on 8th St is taking reservations? Also-- anyone know the number? An online lookup and a call to 411 yielded zippy.
Trying to take my ol' lady there tonight!

I can't make either date, but should you choose the 22nd, raise a glass-- it's my (23rd) bday.

Al Dente (Dented?) always promises, but never delivers. He was NOT wearing his assless chaps at Corduroy last Friday. I'm SO disappointed. NOT
My chaps were at the dry cleaners, so I apologize. I was however, wearing my longest black socks this evening. For the record, I did wear my Fat Albert hawaiin shirt Friday night. So there.

Spot at the bar is a toss-up, but experiences teaches that something will come up eventually. I can possibly put a "reserved" sign on a table in the bar area until 6.30 for you lot. If outside is available, do you want it? There are, like, four tables in the patio and they tend to go quickly, but you never know.
The best seat in the house, of course. Or at least the best you can do for a guy wearing a fuschia mesh t-shirt, seersucker bermuda shorts, and black wingtips with knee-length black socks.

When are you going to be there? Guess who's fronting the door starting at 6 pm??
Hopefully about 6 or 6:30. Will there be a spot at the bar? Looks like it'll just be me-- everyone else wants to go to the remote parts of the city like Dupont Circle and Georgetown.

I still can't figure out what is going on with the Bis discussion above.
What is there to figure out? I'll bis at Bis for apps and drinkies tonight. Wrote a song about it, like to hear it? Hear it go...

Did I say Thursday? I meant TODAY.

I walked past Ray's Silver Sprung on Friday. The interior was torn apart-- looks like they're starting from scratch.
I heard a rumor it won't open until September.

Also at Tortilla Grill are the delicious Beef Tacos al Carbon for $3.95 (they're on the appetizer section of the menu but it's enough for a good lunch)! 2 soft tacos with wonderfully seasoned and seared hunks of steak. Cough up an extra quarter for some additional salsa. Canales' tamales are also a good filling deal-- I think they're a buck-fifty each or so.
Nearby, on Pennsylvania Ave, is Meyhane with their cheap and tasty Turkish fare. You could fill up on mezes, a grilled lamb, chicken or beef entree, and a couple of glasses of (more or less mediocre) wine for $25 a head. And on Saturday nights a belly dancer will make your turban turn!
