I have found through personal experience that there are very few places that allow, much less encourage, patrons to drink large amounts of beer while standing on their seats and singing. Naturally this sounds like a place that I’d love and is too good to be true. But it’s not! Enter the Hofbrauhaus: a place [...]

and i’d rather be backpacking.
it’s a monday. it’s a monday in january. when things are looking that bad, it’s time to break out the summer/winter backpacking photos and reminisce about hot accents, tangy ceviche, sleeper trains, better beer and kayaking on the pacific. Forget about the food poisoning, cat fights, that near-drowning incident and hostel bed bugs. i’m being [...]

hear this: savoir adore.
Last night dc’s u streeters were in a jovial sort of mood, and made a decent showing at the velvet lounge. They even danced a little. Okay, maybe more of a sway/bop, but it was effort.

see this: nowhere boy.
If you think that John Lennon was always a long-haired, zen-like peace-activist with his arms wrapped around Yoko, it’s time to see Nowhere Boy (if only as a manual for how all datable boys should dress). Turns out Lennon was a rebellious little punk who frisked girls in the woods, jumped on the tops of [...]
