Mayorga Coffee Co on Georgia (8040 Georgia Ave) is a better bet.

It's actually been there for a few years. Half Moon BBQ on Georgia (GA & Thayer) is another good place. Or the Quarry House for burgers. Or Mi Rancho (behind Tastee and very close to AFI) for Mexican.

But if it is a booze fest….. I would mmuch rather metro it. Actually with four nights in a row of going out coming up, driving tomorrow might be a good idea.

Actually, why dont you drive, and pick me up on the way?

because I live between you and Silver Spring - much more efficient than me picking you up

I'm fine w/ Metroing

Unless you're bringing wine in a water bottle, this won't be much of a booze fest. As someone mentioned earlier, this is outdoors. Think Ft. Reno with a movie screen.

I work right across from the Discovery building, so i'll probably just stay late at work and then head on over to the show. Provided that it doesn't rain - maybe NOAA can turn off the weather for the night.

I'm going to a movie inside the theater at 7pm but will be outside for the show by 9. This is quite a full weekend…

Ya bastid!

You are allways full of excuses.

Alright, I will give you a lift, but I will leave at 7.10 from Adams Morgan.

Perhaps you should PM me your address as my psychic powers are always weak on Fridays.

strummer film was good but sad

Ted Leo/Rx were really quite excellent - played a little over an hour is my guess and a bumch of songs from the new album which looks like its gonna be very very good

thanks to markie and lulu for the ride :D

Despite living about a mile away, I ended up not going. Got stuck downtown because of the delays on the Red Line–nothing like the smell of sweat and ass on a crowded train. Then the rain started, so I decided to stay in and enjoy the air-conditioning.

I thought the film was a bit of a dud, but the performance was excellent. And free Vitamin Water. ;)

Ted Leo has always been hit or miss with me. On Friday it was a miss. I blame it entirely on the sound. It was miserable. As for the documentary, I don't think Dick Rude ever figured out what he wanted to say about Strummer.

Anyone else catch James Canty's "Thanks a latte" speech?

i thought the sound was pretty good, actually. i know ted was having some monitor issues, but i thought everything was pretty crisp, given the circumstances. 65 minutes of free ted leo/rx, hard to go wrong. the 5 new songs sounded good, nothing too out-of-the-ordinary, but strong nonetheless.

only arrived for the last 20 minutes of the movie, and that was enough to know that i didn't miss anything.
