The place: Washington, D.C. More specifically: on the green and yellow lines! The date to save: Next Wednesday, June 30th. Details on next week's Washington DC Awl Commenter Sing-a-long and Drink-a-thon follow in the comments. (ALSO what happened last night in Boston, eh?)
At the Looking Glass Lounge! It's a block south of the Georgia Ave metro stop. Look here: http://thelookingglasslounge.com/
Around happy-hour time. I'll be there at 5:30, bearing Jolie's bourbon balls.
Fair warning: I'm usually already pretty drunk by 5:30.
YES! can't wait.
I stayed at home and watched the World Cup. That's what happened last night in Boston.
I was on a (delayed) flight from Logan to DC. My Bawl karma is way off. *sniffle*
Thanks for organizing this!
Oh God, the last time I was at Looking Glass I sent my Russo-phile friend off to Russia by doing a shot for every Russian leader from Lenin to Putin in about 10 minutes. (It was whiskey, because we are culturally insensitive and lame.) In other words, hooray!
Including Beria and Malenkov?
Yes. And ouch!
Will Dave Weigel be there?
I'll bring the sandwiches...
I hope there will be another one soon. I'm out of town Wed and Thurs.
Bummed out, I'm sure it'll be awesome!
:(
; ______ ;
I miss you, DC. Someone pour a shot on the floor for me.
Questions you never want to ask: "what happened last night in Boston, eh?"
I think that maybe I will be there!
Tune Inn, 4th & Penn SE. Yess it's on Capitol Hill, but it's as great a dive bar as you'll find in DC. Plus it's near my house and I'm lazy.
I hope no one in Boston allowed themselves to be baited by someone asking if they "like apples".
My office's web site filter has blocked the Looking Glass Lounge's site as "malicious". That just makes me want to check it out more.
Yeah so I rarely ever comment here, but it's a mainstay on my google reader, and Looking Glass is near my hood, so I'll try to swing by.
ooh. might be able to come.
SO SORRY for the late Boston report!
1. NO ONE reportedly was struck by lightning
2. BUD LIGHT LIME was on tap in honor of Stan, presumably
3. ADDING CHEESE to waffle fries was only 25 cents!
4. A BRAWL nearly broke out over the jukebox
5. THERE WAS HUGGING
Have fun in DC! If NotAndersonCooper will drive the van, I will be an Awl Deadhead and see you there.
Free alcohol/couchspace for any and all out of town Awlers showing up for the DC Bawl!
Oh and hey, someone got drunk and broke a chair. For reals.
(Okay, so maybe it was someone at another table, but still.)
Thanks, major d, I don't know how I forgot the crescendo! I would make a terrible journalist ..
Missed you guys! I hope there's another Boston Bawl later this summer...with chair breaking and everything.
Will there ever be one in BALTIMORE? If not maybe I will brave MARC to come down!
I will buy drinks for any and all Comics Curmudgeons who make the trip down from Baltimore for this.
I'm 2 hrs south of DC but I'm broke all the damn time and already need to come up with gas money to drive up for the Unrest show on the 10th, so I won't be making it to this, more's the pity.
Here's to being too lazy to go ten miles to get the Chinatown bus to either New York or DC!!!
Get a B'Awl in Cherry Hill, NJ, and let's hunt that komodo dragon!
Do we get nametags to demonstrate our allegiance to Team Choire or Team Neel?
(I'm going with the cute one!)
Is this confirmed at Looking Glass Lounge? Or elsewhere?
