Title: Hey DC area FOT's
Post by: kenkwan on May 17, 2007, 10:46:27 AM
Any of you going to the Arlington Cinema 'n Drafthouse to see Knocked Up tonight? I was thinking of heading out tonight.

I can't do it tonight.  I still haven't been able to catch Hot Fuzz either.

The Black Cat's got some good rock coming this summer.
I'll hopefully get to all of these:

6/9 - The Sea and Cake
6/17 - The Mary Timony Band
7/7 - Tortoise and The Notekillers
7/23 - The Ponys and Jay Reatard

And, on the shameless plug my buddies tip:

7/25 - Statehood (ex-Dismemberment Plan, The Vehicle Birth (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=2238059)).   
7/7 - Aerialist (Lary Hoffman also owns Galaxy Hut (http://www.myspace.com/galaxyhut), the greatest bar, rock venue, and brunch in the DC area, if not the universe.)

I'm going to see the Pipettes @ the Black Cat tomorrow.  Unfortunately, I only ever go on weekends when I can take the Metro, since I usually have a nervous breakdown trying to find parking.

Well, for some shameless self promotion, my band the Plastic Containers, are playing at Iota on these dates.

Tuesday, June 12th
w/ THE WINTER SOUNDS

And maybe

Thursday, July 12th
w/ Watson Park

Any of you see the Fort Reno Schedule for this year?

Anything good on there? I thought maybe going to see the Hard Tomorrows on June 21st.

It's  here (http://www.fortreno.com/schedule.html).
I'll be hitting the Beauty Pill one and probably the Aquarium one.
I love Fort Reno.

Keeping up the plugging/shamelessness theme, my band The Waylons are playing at DC9 this Saturday, June 16. It's our first trip to DC and seeing some FOTs there would be cool (but not mandatory).

Post by: kenkwan on June 12, 2007, 12:19:09 PM
Hey, I wasn't gonna bring it up, but...

I'm still playing tonight at Iota.
I'll be wearing my blue "Eat Flaming Death" shirt.
Title: Re: Hey DC area FOT's - ROOMMATE!
Post by: Dorvid Barnas on October 02, 2007, 01:54:34 AM
I'm getting a bit antsy about finding my next roommate so I thought I'd try here.  Please forward this to your friends if you think this would interest them.

My buddy Jeff (the dancing guy in the suit from my video entry) and I need a roommate for November 1st, for a sweet house in Alexandria, VA. 
It's located 3 minutes from I-395 and 10 minutes from the Metro, near plenty of everything, but in a very quiet woodsy neighborhood.
The rent would be in the 550-750 range, depending upon the bedroom configuration.  We need to find someone to commit to a 1+ year lease in the next couple of weeks.

Ideally,we'd like someone in their late 20s to late 30s, M or F, S or G, laid back, friendly, not trying to throw a lot of parties.
Couples would be considered as long as one of them is on the lease.  Must be cool with cats.

Creative types encouraged! 
A FOT or a FOFOT would be awesome. 

Here's the place! (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/apa/433722097.html)

What does "Cats, Small dogs (< 25lbs), Dogs (any)" mean?

I'll keep my eyes and ears peeled.

Did you post on Craig's List? That's sometimes a good way to find roomies.

Nice house! It's huge!!

It's an odd way of saying that all pets are allowable. We're going to have only cats.

I'll keep my eyes and ears peeled.
Thanks!

Not yet - we're still holding out for a friend or a friend of a friend.
The place, for the size and location, is a STEAL.  We've been watching the classifieds for months and this is far and away the best place for us.
Even though it's been sitting on the market for 5 months, I'm scared that we're gonna lose it if we don't act soon. Wish me luck!

Paul F. Tompkins will be performing with the 2nd annual Aimee Mann Christmas Spectacular at the Birchmere in Alexandria on December 17th and 18th. 
There will be additional special guests, but I don't know who.  Fred Armisen? Morgan Murphy?

These shows will be a TON of fun. Anyone wanna go with me?

Highlights from last year:

PFT is sporting some really Zapparific facial hair in that clip. I wonder if that was a feature of his 7-year-old stand up act? I hope to attend his 30th birthday celebration concert in Philly in March.

It's not, but I could see how it could be misinterpreted as such.
I'm switching it out anyway.  It doesn't look as good at that size.

Dorvid, I might be in. Ouch! $45 bucks for tickets. I think I'll pass.

Some good comedy coming to DC in the next few weeks.  I'd love to hook up with some FOT at any of these events:

Janeane Garofalo - Arlington Cinema 'N' Drafthouse - April 11, 12

Lebowski Fest 2008 - ACDH - April 17

World Premiere of Super High Me (feat. Doug Benson, PFT, Zach G, Swissmiss!)  - ACDH- April 20 - 5pm FREE

Marc Maron - DC Improv - April 30 - May 4

Andy Kindler - ACDH - May 2,3

Kids in The Hall ! - Warner Theater - Sat. May 3rd

I might be able to get a couple people into the Drafthouse shows, but probably not if they sell out.

I went to one of those at a bowling alley out in Queens with my little brother and sister.  It was pretty depressing.
