More Sunday night thoughts
I just got back from a Sunday night bike ride, which got my brain going. So a few more thoughts.
1) it seems like everytime in the last 3 or so weeks that I've been having a conversation with someone at a cafe, the lone person next to us has been eavesdropping, not subtly but blatantly, as in nodding of head, guffawing at things we've said, and even jumping in at points. Now, we all know that no table is an island unto itself, and once in a while it's fun to make a new friend at a cafe. But to be that blatant about it, especially when the other table shows no interest in drawing you in, is not socially acceptable!
2) Update on the dishonest signature gatherer/slots initiative -- the Washington Post ran a good editorial on the subject on Saturday titled Don't Sign. I saw a signature gather at the Dupont Farmer's Market today and was all ready to tell him off, but he turned out to be innocently gathering signatures for Councilmember David Catania.
3) I saw Lejeune at the Galaxy Hut this weekend (images here). Good stuff. They've got a sound all their own, but I picked up influences as diverse as New Order and the Ventures. J, possessed of more music depth than I, said they reminded her of The Church, and sure enough it turns out that they list The Church as one of their many influences. Definitely worth seeing.
4) Gotta say something good about Galaxy Hut. If I lived in that neighborhood I'd be hanging out there every night.
