"She's a Radio Playing in the Dark..."

Okay, D.C. people, mmebahorel got us dinner reservations. :D Information is here, please look. That means you.

In other news, my body hates me.

And Orson Welles is ridiculously icky.

(Must write next chapter of Catechism. Is all planned out. But to-morrow is baking day, and also I have Religion = Love group from three to five. Mmm, busy.)

Studio is the theatre company. In their complex, they have three theatres (Metheny - which I think I just mispelled, Mead - named for Gilbert who just died like last week *sob*, and whatever they call the little black box one upstairs). The Mead is ground level in the back. Will call is straight to the back, then you go to the right for the Mead. (also, the ladies room is back there.) You will pass the Metheny as you walk through the lobby to the ticket desk.

That part of P street is perfectly safe, for the record. Use Dupont Circle metro if you're worried - that walk takes you through a nice residential neighbourhood. U Street is on U Street and the area between there and Studio is marginally more sketch. Of course, I walk it alone at night after the show all the time and it's no big deal, but then I've lived in big cities for eight years and prefer to just deal as opposed to never go anywhere. Just walk with a purpose, don't look scared, and if you think you're lost, ask for directions because people in DC are nice. There is no need to be afraid in that part of DC. (that part of DC is full of skinny white girls and gay men - we're not talking ghetto, here.)

Oooh, that's wonderfully helpful! Thank you so very much!

Hah. In my dad's time, it was full of street musicians and druggies, but he was there in the 70s. ^_^; I'm not too scared for myself, because everyone who's young and female and familiar with the area has been telling me it's no big deal--but my parents are afraid, because my Dad grew up there, and so I'm trying to listen to their concerns. ^_^;; (And I will be using Dupont Circle--among other things, it's a shorter walk, although it's even better to hear it's through a residential neighborhood!)

yeah, the druggies got replaced by gay men, then the gay men got older and bought tiny dogs, and now they're being replaced by skinny white couples with no children. Welcome to gentrification in DC :)

The biggest problem with walking to U street (I live on the green line so it's way easier for me to go home that way) is that I have to walk past the jazz club and it's always tempting to stop in for a drink but I never do because I tend to go on Wednesday previews which means I have to get up for work the next day.

=( =( =( I'm sad to have missed the gay men. It would have been somehow familiar.

Oooh, that does sound a problem. Be strong, madame!
