DanielK Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Shorter version:He tried to compose a seven-day, multi-media (for his time) work, involving music, dancers, acrobats, etc (who would be trained at a school in India), the performance of which would bring about the end of the world. He completed.....the overture. You're referring to the Sushi Kappo Kawasaki story that we'll never get the rest of, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crackers Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 but maybe we should be thinking about a DR's holiday happy hour? Or maybe a DR's Hallowe'en happy hour? Come dressed as your favorite tart I'd do it if I could come dressed as my favorite dr.com member(s). Now if I could just find my Hawaiian shirt, assless chaps and fedora...

CrescentFresh Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Crescentfresh found a direct/express bus from Farragut Square (11Y to Mt. Vernon) that drops you off down the street from the restaurant. 11Y sounds nice, but it doesn't give the full view of how special a bus route it is. I prefer to call it the Rustico/Eamonn's Express -- Moving downtown office schlubs from pencil and paperwork to pizza and a pint (or fish n chips) takes but 15 minutes and $3.

This will be my first dinner at Circle Bistro. I really liked what Chef Cox prepared at the Farmers Market, and decided then it would be a great new place to go for our Anniversary dinner (Celebrating 20yrs!)

crackers Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Some of us are headed over to try Bebo after work Friday evening. I'm not sure if they will have an "official" happy hour but we intend to spend a happy hour or two in the bar/lounge. Anybody else care to join us? There is a parking garage across the street that is allegedly free after 5pm, and it is very close to the Crystal City Metro station. PM me if you prefer.

Heather Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 That was a most enjoyable three hours. JPW, xcanuck, Mrs. xcanuck, and I hung out and ate some delicious food. The biscuits were flaky and delicious, Devilishly good eggs were, well, devilishly good, and the hanger steak amazes me - the price could easily be jacked up by 25% and it would still be a good deal. Michael was grilling tonight and my steak was perfect. I think I ate more at RTC tonight than I have eaten all week and I am absolutely paying the price for it now. Michael came out to say hi and gently admonished us for referring to him as the grill bitch. ETA: Blake, it was great meeting you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcanuck Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Ditto to what Heather said. Let's not forget BlakeG and Ms. S (sorry - forgot what your DR.com handle is!). It was good to have so many people from the board out there. Lisa and I revelled in the biscuits and scampi, then veal and hanger steak (agreed Heather - Michael could easily increase the price for something that delicious!), and finished off the evening with the glorious key lime pie. I must say it was nice to see Michael actually sweating and dirty from working the grill! He was still the consumate host when he came out to say 'hi'. My veal was beyond perfect, thanks to him. Tomorrow night is Restaurant Kolumbia, before heading out to watch the Tigers and Caps (on TV). Hope to see a few of y'all there enjoying Chef Jamie's creations.

crackers Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 The West Rockwellopolis contingent were about a dozen strong at the bar at Bebo tonight. We worked our way through a good bit of the bar menu and several entrees and generally had ourselves a mighty good time of it. The place was jumping - I think by 7:30pm the restaurant was full and a second layer of barflies was buzzing around behind us. Our bartendress, Stephanie, did an amazing job keeping up with us, despite being totally slammed; she stayed calm and upbeat the whole time.
