This is an ode to bathroom attendants in clubs and lounges all across the D.C. metro area. Who else is there to provide you with breath fresheners after the fondlers at the door have taken your gum? Or what about the night you wore your hair down, completely forgetting to bring a hair tie? And let’s not forget the time you left without spraying on cologne. These men and women save lives nightly.
Have you ever been talking to someone, with whom you shared an obvious connection, and while you all were talking their inconsiderate friend jumps into the conversation uninvited? Usually they’re saying, “We have to go.” And you want to respond with “No, you need to go.”
The other day, just after I pulled into a parking spot in the city, a very attractive woman asked me if I was leaving. I said no, but I was interested in talking to her so I asked her about herself, the usual small talk. All of a sudden, her friend rudely jumps in the conversation talking about they have to go. Were they really in that much of a hurry? Maybe…
The best places to eat after a night of partyin’ it up in D.C.,
After a long night of clubbing, I get a little hungry. Okay, more than a little, but I burn off some serious calories, okay? In these situations, IHOP is the usual go-to place, but I also have a couple favorite food spots special to D.C. that I like to hit up.
If I’m down on M Street or on Connecticut at Current, I’ll head over to Julia’s Empanadas (1221 Connecticut Ave. NW). An empanada is basically a Spanish baked sandwich served hot. And a damn good one. I usually order the Spinach, which is filled with spinach, ricotta cheese, mozzarella and spices. The dough is crispy and slightly sweet and the blend of flavors hit my spot. On my taste buds, not that other one. Also, Julia’s is fresh, so I don’t feel as guilty about eating late.
Don’t you hate it when you’re posing for a picture in the club, and then some guy comes from out of nowhere and just invites himself into the picture? Especially when group of girls or family just went out to have some fun? I rarely see any girls doing that. In most cases, guys are the ones that grab girls to take pictures with them, and again, not the opposite.
The other night, I was about to take a group picture of five beautiful girls and, like from nowhere, this “Mr. Photo Lover” just appeared and invited himself in. I saw the girls looking at each other and they finally asked me if I knew Mr. Photo Lover. I just shook my head NOOOOO. He had to be boosted from the picture. Sorry, Dude!
Allow me to give you the game on how to successfully navigate the bar and come out “on top”
Bar Etiquette 101
The amount of people that have no bar etiquette amazes me…People come to the bar holding up traffic because they don’t know what they want, asking to taste things, being rude, etc. With 50 other people trying to give me money, that really pissed me off. But I won’t judge, we all weren’t taught how to properly order from the bar, so here is Bar Etiquette 101
First, understand the situation.
The bar area is a tricky dynamic…it’s the place where the guys come to stunt, the ladies come to seduce, loners come to post up, the chicken heads come to hawk, the pimps come to pimp…there is just a lot going on. (more…)
