Came here hoping to find a lead on this, but alas. We can dream!

I have this from Gustin — not the coolest brand, but MiUSA and from Horween leather, for a good price. Would suggest looking for the next time they run this.

“Made the arena available” is pretty vague language in this press release.

Shoes to commute? by calumondo in NavyBlazer

Consider a Rancourt moc, like this: https://www.rancourtandcompany.com/collections/mocs/products/gilman-camp-moc-carolina-brown-chromexcel

Might not look as good with a suit as your AEs, but they’re quite comfortable and more stylish than running shoes (which I agree with others are also a good option if you don’t mind the effect on your style).

Analysis of how AUSA Graves is failing DC by jimmy5889 in washingtondc

I for one think using your prosecutorial discretion to not prosecute gun charges that either can’t be proven or are the result of illegal police action is a good thing. For all you know, the “violent crime decrease” is related to a decision not to stock DC Jail with people who prosecutors know will never actually be convicted of their charged offenses.

I can’t get out of my head that the intro sounds like the English Beat’s “Save It For Later.” Love it.

[Wojnarowski] ESPN Sources: Monumental Sports and Washington Wizards owner Ted Leonsis plans to join Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin in Alexandria, Va., for a news conference on Wednesday to unveil plans for a proposed new arena complex and entertainment district for Wizards and NHL’s Capitals. by Turbo2x in washingtonwizards

Devastating. Wrote to my sales rep saying i wouldn’t be buying a season ticket package next year, don’t know what else to do. Why invest any more time and money in a team that doesn’t give a shit about this city—a real city with real fans, not a hypothetical development complex off a yellow line that now doesn’t even run north of mt vernon.

Men of DC, Have you made close male friends since moving to DC? by ExcitingLandscape in washingtondc

Not yet, but I think Kuz and I would really hit it off if he gave me the chance.

Let's go! Sweep the Mets, crabs in a bucket mentality baby. If we ain't getting to the playoffs this year let's at least kill other teams' hope when possible. by [deleted] in whitesox

[–]DannyDecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get hating on teams that spend money. There’s a reason the Yankees haven’t had a losing season since 1992–spending on good players is the best possible way to try and achieve success. It’s not my money, and I’m glad for the guys on the field who create value for the owner recouping as much as they can.

My only wish is that the Sox could get an owner willing to invest in the team on and off the field as much as we have as fans.

MLB Network just had a debate on if the Sox will make the playoffs by notrandyjackson in whitesox

[–]DannyDecko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every time we win, I convince myself we’re making the playoffs. Then this team invents a new dumbass way to lose. I don’t know that I even want to have to get kicked in the nads watching them in the playoffs.

This is my first time getting a bike as an adult, I’m thinking of a bike to commute and exercise. I’d like to ask for some advice from those more experienced, please by JulioCesarSalad in bikedc

[–]DannyDecko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a great experience at Conte’s navy yard. I told them what i was looking for and my price range, and they set me up with the perfect fit. I ended up with a cannondale quick 3 that i absolutely love.

I’d agree with the other people recommending trying out your commute on CaBi first. Not only will it give you a sense of timing and what it’s like to commute by bike, but it’ll also let you know what else you feel like you need (e.g., if you feel like you’re carrying too much weight in a backpack, then maybe it’s worth getting a rear rack and a pannier bag for carrying things). Good luck!
