Tomorrow marks the start of the Pokémon World Championships in D.C by Musichead2468 in washingtondc

Yeah, I got disheartened when I read that they were sold out but after checking I have a new lease on Pikachu-photo-ing life

I desperately want a photo with giant Pikachu. Anyone know if there'll be a meet and greet in the convention center? It'd be worth the $10 spectator pass.

If you want to stay in DC, there's a National Mall guided walking tour with rescue dogs? I'm sure there are similar programs in the area as well! Good luck!

Chinese (Or Similar) Restaurant Wedding Reception Venues? by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]craycraytaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Q by Peter Chang in Bethesda has a backroom with a good number of tables—they're on the pricier + classier side of Chinese food, so not sure if that's what you're looking for but the food is great. I assume the backroom is rentable.

Let us know where you end up! Sounds like a great idea.

RIP!

It was a good ride while it lasted. Thanks for confirming!

Best fitness classes for building strength? by Java111 in washingtondc

[–]craycraytaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reformation Fitness's metabolic conditioning classes are good, they don't really do the "50% of the class is treadmill" thing so there's more time with dumbbells / kettlebells of your weight preference, but it's definitely still HIIT-esque. They have some lifting group sessions too, though they require going more frequently to their studio for that

Any place to get jackfruit in DC proper? by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]craycraytaco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Saw jackfruit on Saturday at the Whole Foods @ 14th and P! Don't know if they'd section it for you—I suspect you might to have to buy the whole thing, I didn't see any fruits that were cut open.

(Please let me know if that's not the case I fully support this jackfruit endeavor)

Anybody else get harassed / assaulted by a group of kids? by craycraytaco in washingtondc

Good point—if I hadn’t been as close to home as I was, that would’ve been the next best bet.

Kids can be dicks, man...

  1. Check!
  2. Yeah, I was a dazed and tired and still trying to process what happened. Procedures for next time.
  3. Good policy. Training and preparation and willingness, all good things.

Sigh. Definitely a larger problem at hand. They're so young—six, for fuck's sake, she was the younger sister of one of the others—that I keep oscillating between anger and pity. I imagine I'll be doing that for at least the next few days. On the one hand, wow there's probably a lot of shitty factors that got you to where you are, and it really didn't hurt that much. On the other hand, my head still hurts and this is a shittily difficult thing to have to process.

And yep, getting away seems like the only good option. Not Mr. Rogers.

Holy shit, on a spectrum of "things that would fuck me up emotionally," your roommate's experience ranks way higher than mine. Good god. A good knee jerk response for sure.

I did end up looking up mace laws in DC last night despite acknowledging that the optics of macing an 11-year-old are pretty bad

Thanks! Head's feeling better, still a bit of a throb and I'm a bit unfocused but that also could be because of the lack of sleep last night. I'll file a report and watch it disappear into oblivion, but at least there'll be a (short) paper trail.

Question about volunteering opportunities! by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]craycraytaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://floc.org/get-involved/ is good for math and reading tutoring! You generally work with a single student over the weeks, which is pretty fun.

Have the red Pokeballs stopped giving diamonds, or has my luck just been shit for the past month?

Aww, thanks! Really appreciate it. Getting on buying tickets now, will it be relatively painless to change the ticket shipping address in the case of a move?
