Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Lush uses ground almonds in many of their products, so people with severe nut allergies should probably stay away.
Yup - that would have been what nailed me. I mean, I walked in behind betsy and buckled at the knees. Only thing that does me that fast is nut fibers in the air.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
For the airplane aficionados, the National Air and Space Museum has opened up an annex near Dulles Airport: The Udvar-Hazy Center. It has more room than the museum downtown and you'll be able to see the Enola Gay, the space shuttle Enterprise, and a SR-71 Blackbird amongst other things.
You will need a car to get there, but it's so very worthwhile. It's probably an all-day trip; the Center is more than 760,000 sq.ft. For more information, visit [link]

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I completely OD'ed on the Air and Space museum as a kid
and
Air and Space sounds very good
I got to visit Air&Space on the Mall last June. Many differences and IMHO much improved since my last visit in '89. Worth seeing again.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

DH was there last week (without me. Bastard) and it is indeed spiffy.
I'm sorry I won't be there with you, but it's still fun to read this thread.

I don't know how one gets to them if one is not coming from Friendship Heights.
The 38B runs from Farragut North through Georgetown. It sounds like its route and schedule is about the same as the blue bus Hil is talking about.
Where are the cool thrift stores?
Yeah, what meara said. There's a biggish Goodwill out in south Arlington that has some good stuff, but there's no specific Thrifty Neighborhood.

Where are the cool thrift stores?
In Baltimore! Ask John Waters.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Wah! On the lack of SusanO and amyP erika and SusanW and everybody else who isn't going to make it. Someday, we ALL have to F2F. Would that cause a spontaneous combustion the like of which no-one has ever witnessed, d'you suppose?

Sadly, Jon, DC is rather regrettably lacking in a concentration of cool thrift stores. There's a big Value Village out in College Park that I find some decent stuff at, but it's not "cool".
maybe Eastern Market?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Hello all! There are, indeed, buses through Georgetown. There's the "blue bus", which I've never ridden, but there are regular Metrobuses that go along M Street. The 38B which someone mentioned above runs about every 20-30 minutes during off hours, more frequently during rush hour; goes from Virginia to Farragut Square (Connecticut and K) and back. There are also the 30, 32, 34, 35 and 36 buses which go from the Mall area, along Pennsylvania (pass right by the Archives, McPherson Square, Farragut Square and Foggy Bottom Metrorail stops) to M Street, then up Wisconsin Avenue.
Yup - I ride the bus.
Other delights - there's the Maya exhibit, the American History museum has a lunchbox exhibit, the Renwick has studio furniture, and there's the Textile Museum, which is close to the Phillips (art). And on the south side of the Mall there's the Freer - oriental art and lots of Whistler (including the Peacock Room).
