The Constorium of Greater Minds

At the KC for the opening night of Uncle Vanya starring Kate Blanchett and Hugo Weaving.

Hey guys…since the site is back up and the summer is wrapping its self up, hence me finishing up grad school, I thought I would drop a line about my plans post school. I ended up accepting a job as a Industrial Engineering Patent Examiner at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office starting Sept. 2. I visited the D.C. area early in the summer, and was fortunately able to catch dejae, my new dc buddy, eyecue before he dipped to the left coast, and signed a lease for an apt out in Arlington. So plans have been set up and I will be leaving the sunshine state for the capital city aug. 15.

Last night the Stones Throw 2K Sports tour came through DC, stopping at the infamous Blackcat nightclub.

Despite its infamy, it’s not the usual hip hop venue. It most often plays host to up and coming or underground indie and punk rock bands. Nevertheless, I’ve seen plenty of shows there and I’m always happy with the intimacy of the place. The main stage, where last night’s show was held, is small enough with a high enough stage to make no view a bad one. Two bars flank the standing-room-only audience section ensuring a quick trip to the bar without missing any of the action.

A couple of money shots from a few weekends ago when Sweetness rolled threw the District like a white knight on his trusty steed. Hijinks and tomfoolery ensue…..

Vilseck reunion.

Iron that shit. Iron it real good.

Check out this Washington Post article about Blelvis; the black hobo “Elvisologist” that rambles the streets of Washington in a drunken haze looking for white hipster kids to regale with his corny Evlis-antics.

Hilarious stuff. I’ve never seen the guy myself, but clearly, if I ever do, I’ll know that he likes Blue Ribbon Pabst.

Blevis talks about his only vice… it has to do with Elvis and crack and it ain’t nothin nice.
Blevis even “shows off how he likes to cup women’s butts on the sly as he brushes past them” to the Post reporter.

Priceless.
