Practice for my 30th birthday party

Much like you can't just show up at the National Rodeo Finals in Las Vegas, Nevada, without ever having ridden a bull before, you can't expect to just show up at my 30th Birthday Party without ever having practiced. So, tomorrow (Saturday) is the first official practice for the party. Note that this is the first official practice; you're expected to be practicing on your own at least five days a week.

Practice will start at 5:30pm at Redeem, the clothing boutique on 14th St. NW, between R and S Streets. Wasmund's Single Malt Whisky is sponsoring a trunk show for Barking Irons. Barking Irons is two New York guys who make clothes based on the '90s...the 1890s. I guess it's more Gangs of New York than Grover Cleveland, if I had to say. Anyway, I'll be there pouring Wasmund's until about 8 or 9 or something.

Then, the second part of practice (yeah, we do two-a-days this early in the season) will happen across the street at the Black Cat. Everyone's favorite two-piece-plus-two We Are Scientists is playing. In case you don't know what they're all about, here's a pretty informative video of them.



Of course, We Are Scientists isn't playing at my party, so this is mostly to practice our heckling. See you there!

does this mean you'll be pouring whiskey and uttering phrases from the 1890s whilst wearing a mustache? if i show up, can we discuss the military ramifications of the first sino-japanese war? or perhaps some of the latest inventions such as shreded wheat! the zipper! perhaps i'll bring along my pneumatic hammer!? no? yes?

Hopefully not all the guests at your party are as nerdy as 1899 Bruce. Just kidding Bruce! Don't bring me down Bruce!
