So WIld and Free and Far From Me
Ok, no theme here....just what I've been up to:
- M-83 at the Black Cat were pretty good. Rich, textured, very pretty. I wasn't blown away the same way I was the first time I heard them (sitting in the unbelievably expensive lobby bar at the Tribeca Grand Hotel), but I still have to say that it was enjoyable. Still can't quite believe how fucking young and suburban these crowds are these days, but shit, I'm turning 35 in a week, so I guess I just need to accept that this will be the trend moving forward.
- Photo Week DC has exceeded ALL of my expectations. Every single one of them. Very much enjoyed the three exhibits on M Street (sorry I can't remember the name of the really big host location; it was an excellent venue...Was it Lumas, maybe?); also enjoyed Ken Ashton's work at Vegitate.
Wasn't so crazy about whatever clusterfuck event took place at the Katzen Arts Center at AU (too crowded, overwhelmingly text-heavy, and just generally packed with people), but I do have to say that the third floor exhibits were pretty rad, and that the space in general just might be the best contemporary arts spaces I've ever seen in Washington. Total f-ing gem.
Either way, those prima donnas at Art-O-Matic might want to consult with the Photo Week folks. These people seem to knw how to run an event.
- Dinner at Chef Geoff's last night was good (scallops with mushroom risotto, bowl of won ton soup; the lady had soup and salad), but I'm not sure if it was $100.00 good. I'm pretty sure it would have been a spectacular $50 meal, and a pretty darned good $75 meal. $100 is a tougher sell.
- Cleveland Park finally has their Yogi Berry! Now I can finally stop wondering if I should check out that Mr. Yogato place (is D.C. really so boring that we need names this dumb?).
- WhyIHateDC finally have some new writers, and a few of them seem to have a little common sense. We'll see how long this lasts.
- Skins got it back to gether tonight, thank you Mr. Springs. Good to see us get a little distace on the Eagles, (though I must say that it doesn't feel good to see it end this way for Donovan. Reid mismanaged the heck out of that team this year, and looking back it's hard not to empathize with McNabb over his desire over the offseason for more weapons on the offense.
Whatever....Philly sucks).
Life goes on.
