Question:
Washington, D.C.: Hi GOGs -- had a quick question about the D.C. "scene." I have some friends, scientists by trade, coming to town in a couple of weeks for a conference. (They're astronomers from the Frosty Drew Observatory up in R.I.) I don't think they care too much about seeing politicos or "the beautiful people" but I wondered if there are places (bars, restaurants, etc.) where "the brilliant people" hang out, like Smithsonian folks, writers, scientists, etc. In short, we're thinking John Bortle, not John Ashcroft or John Riggins. Tks.
Joe: Well, if you've ever listened to John Riggins on the radio or tv, you'd know he was a pretty witty guy. So, right away, I'm suspicious. Anyway, can you imagine a more insufferable place than one populated by people who think they are brilliant?
