Black Cat DJ Class

I have been roped into going to a ladies-only DJ class Tuesday night at the Black Cat on 14th Street. And when I say roped, I mean that I basically volunteered. My boyfriend has a full set of DJ equipment but I don't know a hamsterswitch from a fader (OK, maybe I do... ). It should be fun. And I'm mostly excited to hear some new music and to see what all is involved. I'll just be sure to change out of my preppy work clothes.

Swedish Pop

For some reason I am really digging Swedish pop and I didn't even know it. I saw Love is All recently here, and now I am loving The Sounds.

Circle Bistro Lounge

Stopped by Circle Bistro for drinks after work with my friend Cindy (just north of Washington Circle in Foggy Bottom). A fascinating atmosphere: cozy fireplaces, but mod dark orange colors on the walls and furniture, and really great happy hour deals. Favorite drink was The Barefoot Russian (vanilla vodka, pineapple juice, champagne).

Several things to check off my "To Do in DC" list

1) Get mugged (or at least be a part of a friend's attempted mugging and have the bruises and ruined Banana Republic blazer to show for it).

2) Ride in a shopping cart down U Street in the middle of all the night life

3) Not realize that a priest is trying to bless me and keep on walking through the Eucharist line

4) Show a good friend a good time
