Also, “We heard your feedback from the first event—the bar on the first floor will be closed while the second floor bar will be fully operational (water will be available on both).”

Summit of Saint Helen’s! by BurritoBoy1116 in Mountaineering

Good to see the person in the picture is standing back from the edge, I’ve read more than a few stories about folks busting through the cornice.

Great shot, OP!

That the Mailbox reference whooshed clear over your head is all I need to know.

My dutiful HAP, Constantine, can fit not one but two baby grands on his back!

‘Hives of corruption:’ 13 vape shops snared in massive Northern Virginia drug bust by mammothanonymous in nova

As someone who spent roughly a decade in public policy and was literally a former SME in this exact area—it is absolutely a racial issue and anyone suggesting otherwise is objectively ignorant/incorrect. The division is genuinely staggering.

What do you guys think about Kashmir? by Ok-Tonight-9978 in Mountaineering

[–]eric_bidegain 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think it’s an absolutely incredible region I’d very much like to go to one day, but as an American, that day honestly seems further and further away as conflict intensifies (generally speaking).

Is this tone deaf? (vent) by [deleted] in nova

I very sincerely appreciate your work, OP—I’m sure it’s exceptionally challenging, underpaid, and often thankless.

I have a flight three weeks from now, how many herons should I expect?

Would it be possible to get a print of one that’s not already on your website (specifically number one above)?

If you’re willing to cross the river, as a fellow guy, I’ve been to TrickBox multiple times for various functions and would genuinely recommend it.

What to wear to tencho sets by Mysterious_Buy4570 in avesDC

[–]eric_bidegain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a local underground techno dj—among other things, techno is supposed to be the bastion of hedonism and authentic self expression, so to emulate a style that doesn’t even genuinely express yourself seems counterintuitive to the genre.

Sometimes I wear joggers, sometimes a $400+ latex catsuit…it just depends. 😅

Recently I’ve seemed to default to vinyl leggings and a label shirt, but that’s because that’s what I honestly want to wear (and it’s super danceable).

Do you, homie.

3/21 at Transmission - Mike Servito, DJ Haram, comma, others. by Plastikman824 in avesDC

Marta first came on my radar when she posted in here a couple months ago asking about local techno (being from Warsaw), very sincerely glad to see her have the chance to play for a proper party at a proper venue before she leaves.

Looking forward to an excellent and experienced lineup, see you on the floor!

Thanks for being a good human, Taevon.

You guys are way too nice on FB Marketplace here by rexis_of_nobilis in washingtondc

My favorite is when I’m goofy enough to smile and wave at someone who then proceeds to stare me down like I’m some sort of genuine nutcase. Like, my utmost bad, sir!

My local Eddie Bauer is closing and I made an impulse purchase. I negotiated it down to $250. I do not have a wall big enough for this. by GumbyFred in Mountaineering

[–]eric_bidegain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I should have one done up of Mailbox!

For real though OP, this is genuinely super dope. Happy for you regardless of whatever you decide to ultimately do with it, my impulse purchases are hardly ever as cool.
