Shakezula at LGM scoops us! —
You might think you know commentarion efgoldman, the resident Trumpeter against Trump. But how much do you really know? Is he a Bach man or a Yamaha fan? Silver or brass? And what about those strangely persistent flugelhorn rumors?
Well, he and Mme. efgoldman are in the DMV, possibly because they’re plotting to steal the trumpet from Gideon on top of the Mormon temple in Kensington, possibly not.
If you’re in the area, you can scope them out Mon. May 16, at Fado Irish Pub, 5:30ish until the authorities arrive. Fado is at 808 7th Street N.W., near Metro Center and Gallery Place stations, i.e. all of the Metro lines…
Leave a comment here if you’re interested, or need more info — I’ll make sure EFG sees this. If you’re shy, you can send me an email (click on my name in the righthand column, or annelaurie at verizon dot net) and I’ll forward it to him.

I’m shy! Like a howitzer…

It’s certainly metro-accessible, so I’ll be there, barring unforseen catastrophes.
Xantar
I’m going to do my very best, but I’m coming in from Baltimore. Hopefully the metro is working properly at that time.

Oh, how I wish I lived closer! This sounds like quite the gathering :-)

We should do an NYC meetup sometime. I’ve never gone to one of the ones we had in the past here.
I would also be interested to source out interest to do one on June 15 in San Francisco. It’d have to start not too late, as I need to drive out to Silicon Valley for the night, but I would be up for seeing some Bay Area Juicers.
bk
I live in Las Vegas, and I would love to meet those of you who come out here!
NotMax
That’s Moroni, not Gideon, atop the spire.

@Adam L. Silverman
Or maybe Princess Fred?

Damn! so sorry to miss it. Haven’t been back to DC in years, not since my grandmother died and I no longer had a reason to go.
Adam L Silverman
@PsiFighter37: You understand Bay area juicers are people that live in the greater San Francisco area and abuse steroids, right?
Adam L Silverman
@NotMax: I hadn’t seen that, but that’s too funny.
Miss Bianca
@PsiFighter37: Are “Bay Area Juicers” anything like the Bay City Rollers?
Adam L Silverman

Miss Bianca
@Adam L Silverman: Why do I feel like I’m gonna regret this…even if I may have asked for it…
Adam L Silverman
@Miss Bianca: Ask and ye shall receive. Seek and ye shall find!

@NotMax:
Huh, I thought it was I-moron.
Adam L Silverman
@Miss Bianca: This you’ll likely regret:

Miss Bianca
@Adam L Silverman: Abandon hope, all ye who enter here…
ETA: Oh, no, no, no…not a whole freakin’ show!
NotMax
@A Ghost To Most
Mormonisn is a Moronic faith system.
Adam L Silverman
@Miss Bianca: You never saw their show? Produced by stoner TV producers extraordinaire the Krofts! I am surprised.
Miss Bianca
@Adam L Silverman: “For when it absolutely, positively, has to get blown up today…”
ETA: “Stoner producers the Krofts, eh?” “Surprised?” What are you *really* saying here, Dr. Silverman? ; )
Adam L Silverman
@Miss Bianca: Exactly!
Travels with Charley
I’ll try to be there! Long time lurker, but willing to de-lurk to meet some BJ friends..
NotMax
@Adam L. Silverman
Sid and Marty Krofft (two Fs) have forever denied that base canard.
Just sayin’.
Can remember the cranial disconnect of viewing Howard Cosell introducing the Bay City Rollers on American TV.
Miss Bianca
@NotMax: Yeah, yeah, they *say* that, but…”H.R. Puffenstuff”? “*Lidsville*”, for God’s sake? They may not have been huffing the Wacky Tobacky, but some of their writers sure as hell had to have been…
@Travels with Charley: Greetings! Love your nym. Wish I were going to be there, too!
Adam L Silverman
@NotMax: @Miss Bianca: What she said. Also, I owe them an “F” – apparently.
Shana
I’ll be there. Hubby works at 10th and F so he may join us. Cheers.
NotMax
@Miss Bianca
Lamest Krofft product ever.
Miss Bianca
@NotMax: OMG – that one was so bad I had completely forgotten about it! But that intro made me crack up so badly I had to let the dogs out – they were staring at me with incredible concern. Thanks (I think?) for that one – can you imagine being one of the actors in that turkey? Sitting in some bar years later listening to some drunk say, “Hey – hey! I’ve got it! Weren’t you in The Bugaloos?”!
Vickie Feminist
Count one more person at the table.
Adam L Silverman
@NotMax: @Miss Bianca: I loved the cockney one!
A Streeter
The last time I was at Fado was for a GreaterGreaterWashington (DC oriented urbanist blog http://greatergreaterwashington.org) thing. My two favorite blogs, in the same place (if not exactly the same time)! See you there.
Miss Bianca
@efgoldman: true, very true, efg. I do so wish I were going to be at this meet-up, how delightful it would be to meet you and mrs efg face-to-face! Perhaps if I get out to Maine this summer to meet with my sibs, as they are clamoring for, we could make that an excuse for a Boston rave-up, if you all don’t find one before that.
Miss Bianca
@Adam L Silverman: @NotMax: That whole thing was such a pile of pastel paisley stink, it was actually glorious. Glorious, I say!
SmallAxe
Finally a DC meetup that I’m in town for. I will be there too.
planetjanet
I would love to be there but I am seeing a lecture by Buzz Aldrin that night at Nat Geo. Pout.
RedDirtGirl
@PsiFighter37: I’ve actually been in touch with AL about organizing a NYC meet-up. I think she’ll post about it soon!
Yellowdog
I’ll be there.
Miss Bianca
@Adam L Silverman: Was one of them Cockney? They all sounded Aussie to me…which is also weird, when you think about it, unless the show was produced in Australia…
Pinksnapdragon
I plan on being there as well.

Who is Shakezula, plz?
Steeplejack
@eemom:
A front-pager and person of note at Lawyers, Guns & Money.
Hey, we’re not the only ones with a fucked-up website! When you hover over a front-pager’s name at the top of LGM’s home page, you see a drop-down list below it of links you can go to. But as soon as you move off the person’s name the list disappears before you can actually click on any of the items. Cool!
ET
I can probably make it. My only concern is how we find each other. I haven’t been to Fado in a bit but I remember the layout being a bit challenging.
Redshift
Much belated, since I broke my phone and wasn’t online much this weekend, but I’m planning to be there, and hopefully Ms. Redshift as well.
boatboy_srq
Going to try and make it, but a) new job isn’t especially Metro-friendly and b) just got my firat paycheck and promptly handed it to the landlord,… so I might have to pass.
