KCART - last dc weekend

FRIDAY

got to dc on the weirdo washington deluxe bus and headed home to my mom's house in alexandria. was super happy to see my lil' sis (as she is the coolest little kid i know) and demonstrated my slight nostalgia for my simpler life at home by taking far too many pictures of my mom, dad, ari, brother and brother's latest lady, along with my sister's most recent artistic creation. ari is obsessed with creating tiny, tiny animals with human qualities out of tiny, tiny blocks of clay. here is a photographic record of my few hours spent at home with the fam:




ldp with kelly and rachel. rachel's a stud, everyone kept hittin on her and giving her free stuff.

little bit o' black cat. pretty uneventful, but did see clint, the gay dc bf. reminds me a lot of that lovely fellow clifford in london whom i still talk to from time to time.

giggled and twirled for a while before late-night hunger set in and i was whisked away to ben's chili bowl, haven of all things chili-related. got caught dancing poorly to 3am dc music, which mostly consists of 80s soul throwbacks and go-go. view a small sampling of my drunken rhythmic movement here.

SATURDAY
woke up surprisingly early and hung out with my mom and sister. have no idea what we did, but i'm sure it was wholesome and mommish. went to ikea with tiya bright and early and ended up buying lots of excellent stuff for our new apartment in brooklyn. didn't spend nearly as much money as i was anticipating, which was a welcome surprise.

GIRLDATE! had a standard black cat night. wore my new favorite dress, the dark blue crepe and silk 60's billowy dress that i bought from forever 21, but actually looks a lot like a chloe dress from last year. headed into town and met up with an already quite drunk emilyface who was dancing wildly to georgie james upstairs. shimmied and shook with KC and svetlana. enjoyed a few very strong libations with tiya and emily and danced my way into the backstage where my lady, dj jennder eventually started playing some excellent tunes. talked real estate, sibling envy and travel with a wafro-ed kid i can't really remember. saw a lot of dc people that i really like and everyone seemed to be in very high spirits. emily stumbled home in her very hot neon pink heels and right when i was thinking of doing the same, ran into gwen and the ginger. giggled together, making trendily un-PC comments about how the three of us together are like neopolitan ice cream, somebody bought some delicious shots and we all headed to some girl's party over in the mt. pleasant area. it was basically just a non-bar gathering of everyone that had just been at black cat, just moved to some girl's slightly fratty house. more giggles, more gossip. some jerk got punched in the face and i smiled. dealt with some old dc stuff that reminded me of why i wanted to leave. crashed at a friend's house around 6am and got a good 4 hours sleep.

SUNDAY
back to nyc. back to work. sigh...
