This town is very uptight about pot in general. A show on the west coast has a completely different vibe.
where do you live/hangout? rich white areas?

i pass guys on the street smoking blunts outside at 8am every day on my way to work. you can buy a dime bag on every corner around my house (in adams morgan), roll it up and smoke it on the street without anyone caring.

People sell pot in Hoya's hood! He's got street cred! Since pot is sold at Flawd's high school, does that mean he's got street cred too?

Having attended G'Town University, I'm assuming Hoya grew up in one of those rich white neighborhoods he's mocking.
Georgetown is actually always in the top 5% or so of DI schools at graduating its athletes … if you remember back to 1996, when Iverson left early, it was a scandal …

basketball players at g'town are true "scholar-athletes", not some bullshit like THE ohio state university.

and i grew up in a - gasp - integrated neighborhood in florida.

and last night probably wasnt the first time he's had to ask bar security to help him out with "douchebags"
honestly, what would you have done differently? start a fight, get your ass kicked by two guys bigger than you, get kicked out of DC9 (and i assume asked not to come back)?

you're hardcore!!!
Iverson?

That is because there are only 12 guys on the mens basketball team, all majoring in phys ed, and the football team plays touch football.

Ignore them [in the first place] and enjoy the show?

Congrats, I bet it looked just like yours didn't it?

If you are a true music fan you have to look past that. Don't look down on a band because they sell out shows. I hate it when indie fans in-the-know come of as greedy because "their band" gets played on MTV. Interpol should be applauded for breaking out in a horribly bland music industry. The fair-weather fans will soon fade away and move onto something else.
I don't look down on them, I just didn't feel like standing in a hot and crowded room straining to hear them over some inconsiderate boor who is gabbing on his cell phone about how wasted he/she got last night.

(Christ, that sounds very Rhett-like, doesn't it?)

I saw Interpol the last four times they've been through DC, so there was no urgency to see them. Last night, I just wasn't in the mood for the hassle.

ignorance must be bliss, eh?

tell that to reuben boumtje-boumtje, who was the team's starting center, a double math/biology major, and president of georgetown's math club. oh, and a second round NBA draft pick.

or dikembe mutumbo, who was pre-med.

or dozens of other amazingly physically gifted players who are also intellectually brilliant and driven.
Rhett's just jealous because he went to some fourth-rate state school.
and you would have to hear past it, not see past it
i wasn't talking about their music, genius. the music is still solid. i was talking about figuratively looking past the idea of a once-cultish indie band gaining a sizeable fanbase that may include a large number of unintelligent boors.
and, i meant "bores" not "boors"…before someone nitpicks.

Really? Because I did mean "boors".

boor
Pronunciation Key (br)
noun

1. A person with rude, clumsy manners and little refinement.
2. A peasant.


————————————————-
[Dutch boer, from Middle Dutch gheboer. See bheu- in Indo-European Roots.]
Synonyms: barbarian, churl, lout, vulgarian, yahoo

These nouns denote an uncouth and uncultivated person: listened to the boor talk about himself all night
Sugar "T" - I think the guy you pushed upright was Brandon - the keyboardist from SM. He's not a big dude: what d-bag would pick on him? BTW: what was your fav. CD everyone was raving about?
Wrong. Though I like bush, I voted for Kerry.
