Last night, as Shabbat arrived, I made my way from Tikkun Leil Shabbat to a friend's appartment for a kind of potluck dinner swaray. It was wonderful, one of the best conversations or discussions I've had since I've been in town. That was to be expected, though. The hosts, two of my oldest friends, just run in that crowd. What was really notable, though was the walk back.
Being a resident of the "other Washington" I map/navigated my way back. Discretely checking my phone for turns as I went from 14 and N back to Fulbright and GW. On the way I walked through what I am pretty sure is the kind of bar or clubbing route for the Dupont / Foggy Bottom area. I've mentioned before how young this city is, but it really stands out when you look at the 20-somethings staggering their way down the streets and getting on massive lines for clubs and bars. Just seeing all of these fellow interns going from business casual to "I hope I get laid" and these are the people doing the leg work of politics throughout the day. Ill be interested to see how the rest of the weekend goes, given the precedent.
