So after several months of scrutinizing DC blogdom, or at least a small slice of it, I've come away with these perceptions:
1. Everyone has more disposable income than they can spend.
2. Everyone -- and I mean everyone -- hangs out in the VIP rooms of bars and lounges across DC.
3. Amendment to #2: Everyone goes to about four different places repeatedly.
4. Everyone attends Gold Cup and anything else with a Cup behind it.
This is a world unfamiliar to me.
Caveat: Everyone is obviously not everyone.
My income is generally spoken for the moment it is deposited into the bank.
I have never been in a VIP room and I'm fairly certain I've never been in a club that had a VIP room (except maybe a few times I was at 18th Street Lounge. Don't know if they have a VIP room).
The places I made several repeat trips to back in the day: Common Share, Nanny O'Briens, Brickskeller, Fox and Hounds (I'm fairly certain I spent almost a third of 1993/94 there), Black Cat, City Blues Cafe (defunct).
I couldn't give a rat's ass about Gold Cup, Courage Cup, or anyone else's cup. Unless it's the Stanley Cup.
Catciao is prolific and on top of things. He should have more readers/comments.
Governess is pretty much right on.
I think I need to branch out my blog reading.

yeah, branching out is a good idea. check the blogroll at pygmalion - it's got most of my favorite local blogs on it. including mine, of course.
i've been lurking in this world for a while and you are a sane voice in the cacaphony. like the kid who said 'ping' (or whatever) instead of "we are here/we are here/we are here" in horton hears a who.
I hope there is a cure for prolific, because in my case it is too often confused/or associated with perverted, pompous, prepubescent and poor...and alas the much vaunted VIP rope/ropeless CUPs are only a tease if you cannot imbibe the VSOP or have kids for money better spent and companionship better well kept - we are rich my friend :)
Don't forget the Athletic Support Cup 2006. It's coming up soon, and all the proceeds go to charity.
Ah, the athletic support cup. I don't get around to those so much anymore.
Thanks cupcakegrrl if the comments were directed my way. If not, well, that's ok too.
catciao - yeah the pygmalion site is always a nice read.
yes, they were directed to you my friend. and you're welcome.

No, I'm not elvis. Just me.
I just caught this little compliment, thanks.
(And I can honestly say I have never been in a VIP situation. Ever. Is that good or bad?)
