State of the Union to Fashion Week

Time to play a bit of catch up (again):

This past weekend, Rebecca and Leslie were in town. My roommate and I met up with them at the Archives and headed over to Hill Country to try out this little bit of Texas that everyone here keeps talking about. For the record, it was totally worth it. I had barbecue chicken, mac n cheese, cornbread, and a soda for lunch...and then there was dessert. Hill Country is the only place north/east where you can get Blue Bell, so obviously that was needed. By the end of lunch, we were all stuffed and headed off to an afternoon at the Natural History Museum. We ended the night sitting around and talking in Union Station before Leslie caught her train home. It was kind of a perfect DC Saturday.

Oh and back tracking a bit more, have I mentioned how strange/awesome it was to be watching the State of the Union from a few blocks from where it was all taking place? I'll avoid talking politics, but the experience in general was surreal. (Also, Comcast sucks.)

The other big thing this weekend was that I finally bought my tickets for NYC...so that's a thing that is happening. I will be sleeping on the floor of Jeffrey and Jeremy West, hanging out with Megan, and documenting Fashion Week for Polished. I am so stoked for my first MBFW/SBFW, and so stoked to be covering them for Polished. Also, I mean, it's NEW YORK CITY.

Yesterday after work, I got to see Amanda! We met up outside the Postal Museum and headed to Adams Morgan to meet her friend Emma at Smoke and Barrel (a fancy and delicious beer and barbecue place). I got a loaded baked potato with a side of fries, because their fries looked amazing, and there is no better meal than potatoes with potatoes.

Today was absolutely the perfect DC day. It was in the mid-fifties with a light rain. I woke up in the morning, showered, ate, got ready, and headed to Walmart with my roommate and our housemate Luke. Finally got my air filter and real groceries. We trekked home. (Blessings upon Luke for helping me carry everything; my right wrist is still good for nothing.) At home, I made lunch out of last night's leftovers (and still was left with more!), watched a little Gossip Girl, called my dad to wish him happy birthday, and then headed out. I took my camera with me, because everything is gorgeous in this rainy weather. I was headed off to meet Amanda, Leslie, Ev, Ivan, and Catherine at the Air and Space Museum, but I stopped frequently along the way to take pictures. We did the museum, and then we were off to District Taco (which was delicious and also gave me MORE leftovers). After food and loitering, I took my first ever metro ride! Ev and Leslie helped me get a fare pass, and Leslie and I road back to Union together. Leslie had awhile to kill before her train left, and I need a blazer, so we bummed around the shops a bit before saying goodbye. As I parted from Leslie and prepared to head home, I stumbled upon the very beginning of a free National Symphony Orchestra concert in a small venue in the station. I stood in the back for a few minutes, but they were so good I couldn't leave, so I ended up taking an open seat in one of the back rows. It was absolutely incredible. As I was walking home, I ended up talking to (and walking almost all the way back to my house with) one of NSO's violin players. We had a great chat, and I'm a bit sad I didn't get her name or contact information. (And it was great not to have to walk home alone.) Once home, I joined Emilia, Hailey, Michelle, Luke, and Dylan to watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Alien.

this day was perfect.

OP/Beer Industry person here - Though ABV laws does have some influence, the third tier system is really the culprit with state by state distribution (ex. Texas has no ABV laws, and the "texas ale" laws have been repealed, yet AB InBev still has a death grip.) Couple that with a marketing budget that rivals some state's GDP and you've got the current semi-monopoly that the fight against has recently intensified. Luckily, the craft market share has been increasing for the past 10-15 years.

yes. that.

BOO!

Boo: A childhood hero.

I remember once saying that Bill Gates was my hero in CCD because he has a lot of money. My CCD teacher was not a fan. Seriously though, I admired Steven Spielberg a lot mostly because he was so passionate about filmmaking from such a young age. Like he wasn’t a great student but he put all his energy into the stuff he loved and I wished I could’ve done that.
