DC9 now has a rooftop!

I enjoy DC9. And I enjoy rooftops.  So this is fabulous. Their official grand opening DJ party is tonight at 9pm.

oh hey Hanson.

There aren't enough Sing-Along Piano Bars in my life.

Last night a couple of friends and I braved the gigantic snowdrifts to grab a few drinks at Mr. Smith's in Georgetown. I actually haven't frequented this Georgetown bar many times and when I have, it has been for the open Garden Patio area. This time, however, I got to experience their Sing-Along Piano Bar. Oh, it was as great as it sounds. And more.

A man named Spencer was performing with a repertoire of at least 100 tunes and taking requests throughout the night. So torn in what to choose, we narrowed our requests down to a few (completely contrasting) pairs, including Bye Bye Bye & Like a Rolling Stone and Oops I Did It Again & Nightswimming - both of which he turned into entertaining medleys. My favorite part of his performance was when he broke into the freecreditreport.com jingle. Overall, I think Spencer was great. I'd like to see him again.
