There are many reasons why we love going to My Favorite Dress at St. Ex and all of them were present last night:
Holly and Kathryn played pop’s finest. (this is the one set list we ALWAYS want to get)
Everyone looked sharp and like they could actually carry on a conversation.
And the room was aglow with everyone filled with all the Jens Lekman love from the show at The Cat seconds before.
(our entire contributing staff somehow managed to squeeze themselves into Gate 54 and hug)
Page was on fire with the new wide lens (see photos below)
and in case you were wondering…
Lauryn won the vespa.
Its totally ok to be jealous.
Sorry Svet, I had to make this one bigger - I mean look at the love there. That’s the real deal. That picture is helping win the war on terrorism while at the same time being the reason the terrorists hate us. -cale
Its ok. Remember when Page said: Your eyes are closed. Lets do another one. and you said: They should be closed silly.
That photo is pretty much the most sickeningly sweet thing in the best way imaginable -svetlana
Thanks to that douche that tried to steal my coat. Gross.

October 26, 2007 at 2:21 pmBecause I always drink a little more than my fragile system can take at My Favorite Dress I never remember much more than running up to the DJ both all the time and screaming
“I love that song!”
Last night was no exception.
check out some of their older set lists for clues:

October 26, 2007 at 9:04 pmStep one: Check BYT for goings on in the city
Step two: Go to said goings on and unknowingly purchase raffle tickets while mispronouncing the name of the beer.
Step three: Pee your pants a little when you realize for the first time in your life the guy with the mic ACTUALLY says the last digit of the ticket YOU’RE holding and the bet you made with the guy in the bathroom line just became a whole lot sexier.
Step four: Look like a tool as you push your way through the crowd in a drunken/ecstatic/pee stained haze.
Step five: Realize that you won an actual Vespa and not a picture/teeshirt/coupon for a helmet…and proceed to enter surreal world where nothing makes sense and tipsy can’t explain the stupid grinning.
THANK YOU BRIGHTEST YOUNG THINGS, Cafe Saint Ex and Peroni (pronounced per-roh-nee)…my gas purchases just got a whole lot more managable.

October 27, 2007 at 10:20 amThere seems to be an epidemic of urinary incontinence going on in the DC area.
If anyone is worried about their seemingly complete inability to control their bladder, I know a couple good urologists. Email me.
And for chrissakes, why doesn’t somebody just put a Depends machine in the bathroom of Saint-Ex, Cat, RNR? Or it could be a BYT Travelling Diaper Dispenser…
