Friday night, at Satellite Central in old Georgetown, I attended the last hour of the slideluck potshow-no typo there. The name reflects the events mashup style. The evening consists of a series of slideshow presentations by a wide range of photographers, amid the bustle of a massive potluck dinner. The presentations run 3 to 5 minutes each set to music of the artists choice and range from anything to life after the Berlin Wall to pics of the conflict in East Congo set to 'La Vie En Rose'. Very thought provoking nonetheless. Towards the end, there was one with great shots of Obama and, like an uneasy energy just swept in, I could feel tension in the room rising, especially when this man in the back kept booing everytime Obamas mug appeared.
Yesterday morning Chris and I went to Blacks Bar and Kitchen in downtown Bethesda. One of the best brunches I've had in a while. seriously. $33 all you can eat.. anything from oysters, tuna tar-tar, duck liver pate and sweet cherry chutney on these almondy flavored crostini's, smoked shrimp ceviche, omelettes to order, mini red velvet concoctions, lemony tarts, it was amazing. and our server was right. anywhere else in town, the price would have been at least twice as much. If you're around DC on a sunday morning, if your not looking for grease to soak up your gin from the night before, or fuck it even if you ARE, do yourself a favor-go to Blacks and feel like a king
