My friend Jess Nevins/
ratmmjess is in town doing some research at the Library of Congress for upcoming encyclopedic works of his. While he's been here, I've taken on the role of Cruise Director: plying him with food, drink, and friendly people.
It's Jesstoberfest in DC.
Thursday night: Boardgames/cardgames with
righteousfist and John M., with deadly pizza from
Monterey's Gourmet Pizza. (I still think that
Angelico has the edge, but was a damnfine za.)
Friday night: Drinks and dinner at the
, with oletheros, crossbonesdj, and geekchick.
Saturday: Nuffink Jess-related, as he needed to rest after putting a couple gruelling days over the microfiche/microfilm reader. (Though boadiccea, rottgrub, and I dig go to Gadsby's Tavern, which I've always wanted to go to.)
Sunday: Trucked up to Silver Spring to visit/strategize/chew the fat with
drivingblind and
rob_donoghue (and
omphaloskepsis fluttering around in the background).
There should be at least one or two more episodes of Hangin' with Mr. Nevins before he toddles back off to jolly old Texas-land.
