Hey, is anyone hosting any viewing parties in Adams Morgan or Georgetown?

i can't be the only person in the DC/VA/MD area that watches this show...... ???

no, you are not the only one. there are several here from that general area. ;D
i am guessing that they havent seen your thread yet. ;)

good to know.

by the by, I had to change my avatar because someone had uploaded it without someone else's permission.
I didn't know and used it.

So, hopefully, no one else is using/ or has illegally loaded this avatar.

Wow, you board monitors have your work cut out for you.

And how come there are no avatars of Kate with a gun?

I'm not really in the DC area but I am in the vicinity. I'm across the mountain in VA. I can get to DC in about an hour (traffic permitting!)

Good luck with your viewing party.

I'm in Alexandria. You?

And how come there are no avatars of Kate with a gun?


probably b/c no has made one for this site yet. though i have seen them in various places.
just not on this site. :)

great idea for an icon though. will add that to my list of to-do items.
i love making the icons, just havent had time to do it.;D

When you make the Kate with the gun one, let me know. I want to use that one. 8)

I'm in Alexandria.* You?


I'm from near Winchester. Over in the Shenandoah Valley.

oh yeah, you are not tremendously far away.

When you make the Kate with the gun one, let me know.* I want to use that one.* *8)


what do you want it to say? b/c i made a couple but then thought you may want it to say
something specific.

one says: Kate's got a gun!

sorry, art... can't say that i do :( oh, here's an off-topic recommendation for you... NEVER, and i repeat NEVER get chinese food from Ginger Beef... how does one completely ruin Lo Mein??? :lol2: i'm sticking with Cafe Asia even though it costs a lot...

i like hunan chicken in dc.
ever had them?

also thai pepper in Del Ray and King St.
excellent 8)

i've never had either... i lived off of king street last year... can we say, ghetto fabulous? at least where i was anyway... so i guess i missed thai pepper 'cause i was marking time before the lease was up hehe... where i'm at now is MUCH better... it's right by potomac yard too so i can't complain about that... i'll definitely have to check those out, art

yeah you are close to thai pepper...the panang chicken is perfect

cool deal... it's kina sad, i usually stick to the restaurants i know... there's tons of little eateries around here... any good italian places?

Ummm, yeah, there are a couple but they are over in Arlington more....you know the first left you can make when you get into Crystal City area....pass the 7-11, and there is a really good Italian restaurant there, but I can not think of the name of it.

awesome, i guess i should go exploring more... thanks again, artnfilm

Southern Maryland representin'! I can get to DC in about an hour to an hour and a half depending on traffic and where I get the Metro. I don't dare drive into DC... too scary for this little country grrl.

yeah, i usually avoid driving into DC like the plague... i have my internship in NW DC but that doesn't really count... driving through Georgetown and on Wisconsin isn't too bad

Southern MD ain't bad for driving.
Neither is DC.

It's on the Delaware Turnpike, where the Philly exits cross you've got to watch out!! The most dangerous spot to drive on the entire east coast as far as I am concerned!

After you cross the mountain into VA the traffiic's not all that bad.

My husband hates the Metro. He says it makes him sick so he would rather drive. The traffic makes ME sick. :laugh:

I stil haven't gotten down to see the new native Americans museum on the Mall yet. I'm a BAD Indian.* :laugh:

elf - you are indian? which tribe?
I met the chief of the cherokees in Williamsburg recently.

I am no Indian - just fascinated by them. (am Irish though - the Indians can keep up with my drinking) :lol2:

I'm a reservation born card carrying casino check cashing Cherokee... ;D

Did you meet Chief Hicks? Doesn't he look like a Marine?

Or did you meet the Chief of the Western Cherokees?

No, I met Chief Red Hawk.

Oh that guy. He's not an elected Chief. He's more of a cultural ambassador of sorts. His title is honorary.

LOL
That's not the way he works it. Believe me, he acts like he is THE chief!!!!

Well..my Chief is Chief Hicks..a fairly young guy. The Chief of the Western Cherokees is named Summer I believe. They are elected officials.

I didn't grow up on the reservation though although we went back every summer. I'm not a very good Indian. We moved up here because of my dad's job (the Federal Goverment..what else! :laugh: He worked at Mt. Weather )

LOL too funny.

I work for a company that is owned in good part by Native Americans and I don't have a drop of Indian blood in me.

anybody else by the DC area?

I didn't know this thread was here, but I live in Stafford about five miles from Quantico. ;D

cool, 540... i'm in alexandria

I'm in Great Falls, 3 miles from Route 7 between Sterling and Reston.

Solidstealth, there is a great Afghan restaurant on Rt 1 towards OLD Town from you.

you remember the name, Redemption? do you know of any good mexican restaurants as well? there was a very good one that me and the roommates used to go to off of duke street (el paso restaurant) but it closed down recently...

Best Mexican restaurant in the D.C. area is "The Alamo" in Riverdale, MD. Kenilworth Avenue &...um...what starts out as East-West Highway...193, I believe. It's a dive. It's fantastic.

BB,

wow, I don't know why it took me until now to find this thread. I'm currently in Arlington. and here I thought I was the only one. ;)

that's cool, Dagirl... nice to have another fellow Lost fan in NOVA... i go to grad school in Arlington... small world

I'm in Laurel, MD. I'm with the USS Chesapeake (http://www.usschesapeake.org), a local science fiction club that runs the discussion panels at Shore Leave and Far Point. We'll be doing a LOST panel at some point during Shore Leave this summer. Hope to see you there!

Oh, man... I haven't been there in YEARS, even though I live in PG County! Although you haven't seen a Mexican dive until you've been to Tippy's...er.... Toucan Taco up in Laurel! It's a genuine biker haven, but they've got the best queso in the world! It's the last place I went to before I joined Weight Watchers. :lol2:

Best darned queso in the world! But there's nothing quite like ordering virtually everything on the menu, a la carte, from The Alamo. If you can afford it - which I can't!

They're putting in a new place across the street from where you live - "Chipotle." Just drove past it yesterday. Another new Mexican restaurant on that same strip on Route 1. Will they never learn?

BB,

Vilya

am i the only one who doesn't like Chipotle around here? it's very popular, but it doesn't taste all that great to me...

Not too far away. I'm in Baltimore.

I recently was introduced to it (well, a few months ago), and I don't know...I'm fearful at how bad it is for me, but it's so tasty. It's the spices I think. :\

i think it's because i prefer more genuine mexican food and this tastes more like tex-mex... i like their tacos, but the other stuff is meh to me...

I haven't tried it yet. I assume that it's like Baja Fresh, which I really like. For Mexican, we usually hit DP's or the Salvadoran place that's over by the movie theaters on Rt. 1.

I'm going up to Washington DC next week and will be there when the season finale airs. Rather than watch it in my hotel room, is there any place around there people meet and watch the show at? That'd be awesome, just wondering if you guys know of any place. Thanks!
