46. "Apocalypse Now" |
As promised, I have returned to fill in some of the blanks from this rather curious meeting. I meant to get back here earlier, but I have been having wireless issues at my house. (Yeah, like I needed an excuse to go to City Cafe to pirate their wirless.)So, here's my recollection of events. I am sure that PRE can offer a "fair and balanced" account later. PRE invited me to meet him for drinks in DC on Thursday. He had a meeting on Maryland's eastern shore during the afternoon, so we agreed to meet in the evening. He did offer to drive up to Baltimore, but considering that he was already headed over to the eastern shore for the day, I didn't want him to have to drive all the way up here and then have to get back in the car to drive at least an hour back to DC. We traded a few emails and then swapped phone numbers to facilitate getting in touch. We made tentative plans to meet at nine o'clock, but I called around seven o'clock just to confirm. I didn't get the Rat himself on the line, just his outgoing voicemail message, but it was the first time I ever heard his voice. PRE has one of the friendliest and most enthusiastic voices I have heard in a long time. I left a message and he called me back a few minutes to confirm that the peep meet was still on. We had already worked out most of the details via email. I suggested that we should meet in Dupont Circle because I still know where to find some of the secret parking spots over there. I knew that PRE was familiar with the city from having lived there as an undergrad, so I thought he might have some suggestions. He agreed to meet in Dupont and suggested the Brickskeller as our destination. That sounded perfect to me: a non-partisan pub, located in the gayborhood yet frequented predominantly by straight folk, a place that PRE enjoyed as an undergrad and a place that I enjoyed as a grad student, an establishment that stocks more than 500 different beers, giving it the honor of offering more varieties than any other retailer in the country. Mmmmmm, beer. I thought about taking the special pilsner glass that Puffy sent me last summer, but I did not want to risk damaging it. I hit the road shortly after talking to PRE, but encountered a traffic jam before even getting out of Baltimore. I thought that I was going to be late arriving in DC, but I made up some time on the Balto/Washington Parkway. My phone rang just a couple of minutes before nine o'clock just as I was pulling into my parking space. PRE was just letting me know that he needed a few extra minutes, which was fine since I was running a little behind as well. He confessed that he did not remember DC as well as he thought, so I reminded him that the Brickskeller is near the corner of P and 22nd. I parked over by Scott Circle, so I headed to the other side of the neighborhood on foot. That gave me a chance to pass through the actual circle, check out the people, and see the fountain, one of my favorite DC landmarks. As I walked through the circle, I noticed a guy over near the bushes engaged in a little public urination. (*waves to Bob*) I say near the bushes because he was not actually in the bushes. He was far enough out that I could see the stream of urine as he talked to a buddy on a bench on the other side of the sidewalk. Now all I needed to see was a rat, of the four-legged variety, and my DC experience would be complete. I arrived at Brickskeller, but PRE was still en route. I stood out front for a while. He called again to say that he had just driven past. He saw me, but he was looking for a parking spot. Yeah, good luck with that! A few minutes later, he came down the street from the direction of the Fireplace (definitely NOT his kind of bar). We shook hands and hugged and headed into the pub, opting for the catacomb of rooms downstairs. We quickly settled in at our table and began discussing the beer options, having so many to choose from. I wanted a Lusty Cherry, but I could not find it on the menu, so for my first beer I had a Troubadour Blond Ale from Belgium. Ironically, the troubadour depicted on the label was a brunette. PRE ordered a Thomas Hardy (1988), but I cannot remember the variety. I do know that the (1988) was not available so he ended up with a (1994). We talked about a lot of stuff, some of it involving reality television, some of involving RTVW folks, some of it involving weight loss programs, some of it involving our lives, loves, and careers, and just a little of it involving religion, politics, and sexuality. I think that we both were more than civil and respectful; we were friendly (and I hope that PRE left feeling the same way). I was hoping for a Leinenkugel's Red for my second beer, but that was not on the menu either. I just don't understand how a pub that serves more than 500 beers does not stock Leinenkugel's, but i will just wait patiently for Nolay and Weltek to send me a care package. I ended up ordering a Smuttynose Pumpkin from New Hampshire. I don't remember what else PRE ordered the rest of the evening. He will have to fill in the details on his own beer choices. The Smuttynose Pumpkin was delicious and it smelled divine. I insisted that PRE check out how good it smelled. As we drank and talked, we got hungry. I ordered a plate of FRENCH fries and PRE requested the bread and cheese plate, even though it included some FRENCH freedom cheeses. (He is going soft.) For my third beer, I opted for a Viking from Iceland. I was a little disappointed that the label was so understated with just a stylized viking ship instead of some brawny coastal raider swimming an axe. I figured that my best chance of seeing a rat of the four-legged kind that evening would be in the men's room in the Brickskeller's basement (since that place used to have a reputation), but I had no luck on that count. Despite no rats, the place was hideously disgusting. The smell was rather rank. I don't know what was all over the floor, but I hope it was water. I am quite glad I was not wearing flip-flops that evening. (Yeah, try to follow me into that restroom, Bravie, and see how far your germophobe ass makes it!) Sometime between eleven o'clock and midnight we decided that it was time to head our separate ways. I had intentionally parked two blocks from my favorite gay bar, planning to get the Republican off of me by consuming a few more beers there. (Bob loved that bar when she met me in DC: goodlooking men who did not grope her. I just assumed that the place was not PRE's speed or I would have invited him to join me there for a drink.) PRE needed to get the gay pheromones off of him, so he was opting to drive up Massachusetts Avenue and check out The American University, his undergrad stomping grounds and the institution where I earned my first MA. I walked with PRE to his car, then headed back to my own car to drop off my camera and collection of beer bottles. I passed through the circle again, but nobody was doing anything too exciting this time. As I was passing by the Brookings Institution, composing the narrative of the peep meet in my head, I heard some asshat in a convertible yelling at me. I've been propositioned on the streets of DC before, so at first I thought it was one of those --- but it turned out to be PRE. He had headed the wrong way on Mass and was doing a U-turn to get back to the university. I waved good night as he sped off into the DC night. Sigs by Syren. Bouncie by IceCat.

I'm sure you already know this, but go to Wells Discount on York. It's got the best beer selection of any store I've ever been to. Dozens of varieties of Smuttynose, Lambics, Trappists, that Purple Haze stuff that PRE's drinking (I like it...).Oh, and the pumpkin Smutty is either way too young, or very old. It's usually released mid-september. HOOT!

Great job HD! You should be writing show summaries.All that I would add is a great big ditto on having a super time. HD is a really cool guy and I greatly enjoyed getting to meet him. I had so much fun and I will definitely be looking him you the next time I'm in DC/Balmer. I totally would have went with you to JT's, if for nothing else but the experience (I told you I had gone to tracks a couple of times, it couldn't have been as over the top as that place). It was a great place with wonderful company and I really hope/feel that we got a much better understanding of each other as well. Peep meets are still a little awkward for me conceptually, but so far every one has been as great or better in person. I just can't wait to meet more of you. Just to add to the record, my beer choices were a Young's Oatmeal Stout and something that involved mixing Guiness with champagne (interesting). My cheese plate did in no way support France or the French people - any support that may have been implied was unintentional and fictionally for entertainment purposes. I had a great time with HD. Can't wait to hang out again with this truly cook peep! But, the four of us had a great time.

Dood! I half-hoped you had brought the CD and we could have driven my rental around with the top down singing Chess (I've got some pipes, I must admit). And you are wrong about my preference, I like the Brit version better too. I think it is more authentic, consistent and has a number of pieces that are better. I just OWN the American because I lost the Brit version and couldn't replace it.
Should I be worried that I'm now discussing showtunes after walking around DuPont circle? Jeeze, I just wanted a good bagel!
