Permanent Visitors

Ladies and Gents,

It's important that you sign your permission slips -- as soon as possible -- for Thursday evening's field trip. We don't step out of the routine too often at Drink & Walk, but when we do, we like to think of it as "Health foods" or "Sport" or "Everywhere pomeranian" or "Educational experiences." In other words, if your parents ask you where you're going, or your friends do, or your "lovers whose asses are caked with sand," (spit Cheetohs here), then you can offer one of those excuses. "Sport, mama." Or: "Health foods, lover, whose ass is caked with sand." Or: "Educational pomeranians, my friend."

Join us this Thursday at 8:00 p.m., in the Marvin Center's third floor amphitheatre, on the GW campus, as Drink & Walk salutes Kevin Moffett, fiction writer extraordinaire, in town to read from his book, Permanent Visitors. I will be introducing Mr. Moffett and after the reading, a gang of us will walk up to Dupont Circle, where we will hoist a few in Kevin's honor, and in your honor, at Biddy Mulligan's, around 9:30 or 9:45. If you'd rather stay at home and lick your wounds, I'd say to you: You're gonna miss a great reading, but I'd understand, the idea, of one licking his/her wounds. It's a bad-ass world we live in, afterall.

Email me for directions, if you need them. First stop: Kevin's reading at 8:00 p.m. in the Marvin Center. Second stop: Beers at Biddy Mulligan's (the hotel bar where 19th St. runs into Dupont Circle) around 9:30/9:45.

Hope to see you all there.

Dan Gutstein
