ustreetguy Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I can do either day (although I'm assuming his offer does not apply to Wednesday, February 14). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lackadaisi Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 We're in. Especially if that two-seating thing is going on, and there is a late seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdt Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I wonder if he would consider putting it on his specials menu for a while so we could stop by and sample it at our leisure. That would be great! I would prefer the late seating depending on the date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ol_ironstomach Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Friday, on the early side (11:15-11:30ish?), jparrott and I plan to hit Whole Foods at Fair Lakes for a spot of lunch, perhaps followed by some wine tasting upstairs. Check around the seafood zone first...or maybe the world of grilled cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cucas87 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 If you’ve found that the cold weather and dashed hopes for a snow day (or two) have taken their toll, I hope you’ll come to happy hour at Dino on Friday, February 23rd from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. Dean has promised some great specials, including a Rosso di Montalcino wine flight (3-3oz pours for $12); a special martini for $6 and prosecco for $5, as well as some delicious nibbles. If you’re interested in joining in, please PM me so I can let Dean know how many of us to expect. (Note to any other “fit for summer” challenge participants: I plan to take the metro to Woodley Park and walk up Connectict Ave to Dino as a preventative (or guilt-blocking) measure and I would welcome company.

JLK Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Sounds fun, but I couldn't get there that early. 7 is generally the earliest I can get back into DC and with Friday traffic, it's usually 7:30.

You do know it's uphill from Woodley Park, right? Or, better yet: walk up from Dupont Circle. The Ellington bridge is lovely this time of year. Hmpf!

xcanuck Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Who doesn't like a good Shaft every now and then? Let me rephrase that. The original Shaft is playing at the AFI tonite at 9pm. Anyone want to do drinks in the area before/after? We've been at RTC the last two night's running so it might be time to hit the QuarryHouse.

jpschust Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 If you like chocolate, cinnamon, and almonds, try the Mexican panna cotta. Well as I've been ordered by my personal trainer to start ignesting more calories (I seriously kid you not- the dude told me to start putting more bacon on my food as 2,000 calories in my day just isn't enough) this seems like a good start.

jpschust Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Not fair!It's nice to have high metabolism except when your coach tells you flat out that you need to put on 10-20% more body mass in the form of muscle. My body fat percentage is at the very very low end by nature of my metabolism, and thus it's very very difficult to add weight back. I know this will change as I get older but those who know me know that I also work out all the time between skating practice and lifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, we rented a Zipcar (that Prius hybrid parked in front of San Marco) one Saturday night last September to go a party thrown by a DR.com member. Returned at about 12:30 am (waaayyy past our bedtime) and found the WORST traffic jam I have ever witnessed at the corner of 18th and Kalorama. I believe staying indoors on the weekend is a very good survival strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG, you *never* should drive up 18th between 9pm and 3am on a Friday or Saturday. Really, from 7pm, given the Lauriol Plaza nightmare at T. (depends on how you feel about driving in the oncoming lanes between S and T.) I like 15th, because the lights are a continuous green from P to Euclid if you go exactly the speed limit. or 19th, if I'm coming from Florida. The light at Florida and 18th is a disaster. But yes, I did crash at a friends house last night rather than try to drive back into A/M at midnight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
