Movin on up

Hi I'm Tony and this is my blog. About 850 of you may remember me as the douche bag counter point from that other (and far superior) U street blog Ustreetmonth but for those who don't let me give you a little background info.

About two months ago my friends and I set out to drink ourselves retarded on the greatest street in Washington, D.C. and live to blog about it. We barely made it out alive that month. Some of us were hit by cars, mauled by pandas, and nearly beat up by bouncers (...wait that all just happened to Kevin) but we still lived to tell our story to the world as our blog grew bigger and bigger. For one glorious month we lived, breathed, ate, drank, and blogged U-Street but in a flash around mid May it was all over and we all went our separate ways.

Since U Street Month, a few of us have moved on, checked into rehab and started new and less U street oriented blogs but still the street held a special place in my heart. Some nights I would wake up in a cold sweat after dreaming about going to Ben's, Local 16, St. Ex, and the Black Cat only to realize I was back at home living my boring Maryland Life. I imagine its something similar to being hooked on heroin and suddenly quitting cold turkey and getting a job as clown who drives around in full costume between odd gigs making balloon animals at children's parties.

So logically I had no choice but to move to the city I love on the Street that I dream about. I recently rented out a row house in lovely Bloomingdale at 2nd and U. I know I could never replace the epic madness that was U Street Month, but I like to consider this a spin off blog like the Jefferson's or Good Times . I'm moving on up and this is my U street life.
