Own Wilson Watch, filming in Georgtown

Now onto this movie, we went out on an Owen hunt the other day.
This is Le Pain Quotidien:



Owen was not here.



This is the Four Seasons:


Owen was not here either.



This is Baked & Wired. I love Baked & Wired. Their (barista's) sense of humor suits me perfectly.

Owen was not here either.

(The billboard here is encouraging you to make it 4/20 every day by buying a B&W t-shirt. Hah. The other side said something aout their hippie crack.)

This is where Owen was filming on Wednesday:

Owen was not here. Either.

But his truck was:

So, what have we learned?

Owen is holed up in the Four Seasons eating his Georgetown Cupcakes and going on secret bike rides. Without me. Sigh.

Cab strike update

So yesterday leaving work the traffic was pretty light from my point of view. And the DC cab traffic was waaaay light.
Here's a non-striking DC cab (usually there are 5-10 of these in this lane):

Here's a VA cab (there were a whole lot):

Taxi Strike Tomorrow

Thoughts that came to me while standing on the corner of M & Wisconsin on my way home from work:

1. 6 cabs just turned right from westbound M onto northbound Wisconsin. Several more waiting in queue as the light turned red.
Would a taxi strike ease a little congestion in the district? It could actually make traffic better.

2. Wouldn't a strike be more effective if it was from Halloween until a) the drivers got what they wanted b) they realized they wouldn't make enough money not driving and gave in?

3. This is from earlier... Can you call a VA/MD cab to pick you up in DC? Then the strike could be sort of moot on Halloween. Also - sober ride is operating 1 (800) 200-TAXI, so there is that option.

Oh well. I've been in two DC cabs over the past two days. The first one was from AMorg/Mt Pleasant to Rosslyn on my way home late Saturday night - $13.25 - It was a realistic price and I tipped up to $15. Even though the driver almost killed someone on Roosevelt Bridge. But he didn't. So I tipped him...
The second was from Rosslyn to the Kennedy Center to get to the ADL concert last night. (Yes, I know, did we really need to take a cab... Ehh.) Actually, more on that - it is $16 to park at Kennedy Center and we figured about equal to take 2 cabs, granted we caught their shuttle to metro on the way home. ::rambles:: The cab that picked us up in Rosslyn was a DC cab, which I'm pretty sure they're not supposed to do... Then he went the wrong way... Then the trip cost us $10. For about 2 miles. That man did not get tipped.

yea!

Georgetown Waterfront

I like phase three involving the "Rock Creek Bridge"

How late do you work? (Or do you w4m on CL?)

Now here's one thing I don't understand:

The traffic going out of Georgetown (across Key Bridge to VA--radar detectors ILLEGAL) is heavier at 7pm than at 5pm.

Why exactly is that? It shouldn't take 2 hours to commute out of DC, like DC proper--if you can even understand the complexity of that statement you are not from around here, (because isn't the beltway a bigger problem than M street?) so why are all of these people still driving home? Does the metro get worse at 7 too? That seems sort of ridiculous, and also I truly hope it doesn't because at 430 there are far too many people inside my personal space bubble on the train for me to be comfortable. Does anyone work normal hours in this city?? By 7 you are supposed to be at home with your wife and kids with dinner on the table. My family was weird and we didn't eat until 8 or 9, I guess we thought we were European, but everyone else I knew had dinner at 6 every night. Maybe your family is stay at home dad though and I apologize to all the women I've just offended. Dad's should be able to cook without supervision in the kitchen by 2005 though, so he should still get dinner on the table at 630 (I'm allowing some wiggle room) and you should have already come home and changed out of your work clothes.

Ahh now I see why everybody is so fat--they work until 7 and come home and eat... (Yes, I am a hypocrite since I didn't get back from work until 7 and then my *wonderful* boyfriend took me to dinner & a pitcher of sangria. But I'm going back to the gym this weekend!)

So what are you doing so late in the day?

Maybe getting freaky with an 6' tall Asian girl (oh wait, she's trans) that you met on CL before you go home to your wife?

Note that CL is awesome, and also a little creepy if you have been reading the New Orleans m4w posts.
