Columbus Partied Too, You Know
Well, the weekend is certainly over, but thanks to government life, I only have a three-day work week this week. I can deal. Gina came up to visit for the holiday (since Virginia Tech had their first-ever Fall Break, a.k.a Columbus Day), and we had fun despite the ubiquitous rain. We finally got around to seeing The 40-Year Old Virgin and laughed appropriately at the funny parts. We also watched Before Sunrise, a nice little film from '95 starring Ethan Hawke. (I remember what you said about Mr. Hawke, Amy. I can still deal with that.)
After spending some time with Gina's family for her mother and stepfather's anniversary on Sunday, we headed out to D.C. with Gerritt and Mel for a night on the town. We checked out Ben's Chili Bowl, one of the District's famous little restaurants, and marveled at the photos of its celebrity clientele. They had some darn good chili dogs, that's for sure. We wound up the night at the 9:30 Club to watch Nickel Creek play a show. It was my first time at the Club. It's such an unassuming place from the outside for it to hold so much great music on the inside... but I plan on making my return there whenever possible.
In a surprising turn of events, I already posted this weekend's photos to Flickr! Check them out.

Ethan...I mean, Bret:
That means that now you have to see "Before Sunset" which is the sequel to "Before Sunrise"...I saw them in reverse order, but whatever. (I didn't know ANYTHING about the movies, and just literally wandered into the theater for Before Sunset...) It's good. In fact, in a way I think I preferred the second one. Enjoy. :)
Ben's is an awesome place. I've probably eaten there about 10 different times now, but anyway, interesting trivia, I heard that Bill Cosby actually proposed to his wife there.
