I'm back! Need to be reintroduced to civilization after a week away. Anybody for happy hour at Firefly tomorrow?

Edited to revise: Oh yeah, I can't do Firefly tomorrow....maybe some quick Oyamel, since it's in the area. Ok...Firefly Friday?

I'm thinking that's where I'll begin my weekend roll. Perhaps making my way to Oyamel (haven't been there yet) with stops along the way at Tallula and/or Harry's -- nothing too ambitious, just a slooow gentle descent.....

Hmmm, maybe need to consider this place [Tallula] for a little HH action...

That's one that I might actually be able to pull off.

NB: Tallula opens its doors at 5:30 pm

I can probably make it. There's a thing at the Fairmont later on, and that's pretty close by. Am a bit worried about forfeiting my Socialist Workers Party membership if I'm seen with you two running dogs, but guess there's always limousine liberalism to fall back on...

just fyi, my wife and I are doing a little dessert/chocolate/dessert wine tasting tonight in our neighborhood from 6-8PM at Best Cellars, which is on 2855 Clarendon Boulevard in Arlington (703.741.0404) This is a free and free-form gig--we'll be serving the cafe de olla from Oyamel, bringing some of the chocolates I use in the restaurants, and I picked four dessert wines from the Best Cellars collection to compare and contrast, including a very nice affordable Ficklin port. Everyone is welcome, even if you just want to talk shop. (I did 150 portions of the cafe de olla, when it's gone, it's gone, but we'll have a ton of chocolate and dessert wine on hand.) Oh, and no ice cream substitution requests tonight please--I'm doing an anise milk froth instead of the ice cream because they don't have a freezer.

Cool -- almost across the street from Harry's, and I need to place anorder for a case of wine anyway. So now I know where Happy Hour, part deux will transpire.

About what time might the Firefly festivities commence?

How 'bout 5 pm or as soon as I can get there if I walk from Foggy Bottom at about quarter of. See you all there!

You'll never get any ducks looking like that, your face will scare them all away.
