Random Knowledge

A number of the members of the DC Culture Club met randomly at Marvin last night for some overall representation and the 29th birthday of one DC's finest. It was Thursday night. 

This got us to thinking, which is the best night to go out? For me, in college, it was always Friday night because you were done with classes and the next day was Saturday instead of terrible Sunday. Others go with the stalwart: Saturday. You have all day to do what you do, then time to prepare yourself for the big night out with your girlfriends (oh son!). 

Others like Thursday because this essentially gives you a three-day weekend because, supporters of Thursday say, you are so hungover when you go to work and "over it" that you don't do anything except read the Daily Beast and Bill Simmons. 

Then there is Sunday. Yes, Sunday is a big night in DC. Republic Gardens. Fun things happen on Sunday. Personally, I would rather calmly have dinner with my parents on Sunday but that's just me.

I would still say Friday night is my favorite night out due to the lack of Sundayness the following day. There is something about Sunday that is just so blaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Sunday is like asking for a Sega Genesis with Altered Beast and getting a TurboGraphx 16 by NEC for your birthday. 

On another note, one of our members had this to say about a future spot for the group: 

"So im sitting here, watching some big east tourney, pretending to read, dreaming of spring time in dc.  And it struck me, a place that the culture club should check out when spring turns into summer and it gets a lil sultry in dc - michel richard's central.  they got a drink there called a velvet falernum mojito.  Best drink i've ever had.  My brother and I spent a month there one night last summer. The rest of their bar menu looks pretty good, but after having the velvet, I couldnt bring myself to move down the list."

Here is the drink menu: http://www.centralmichelrichard.com/pdfs/COCKTAILsept08.pdf
