I'm writing this from high atop the Alexandria Hilton, here visiting friends in the DC Metro area. Tonight we had our own G7 Summit at Clyde's. For some reason, the conversation mainly centered on two topics: Cisco and strippers.
I mentioned how I thought I should make my own version of Sideways, only this movie would be about a couple of wine cooler snobs. And then I learned of the existence of a magical drink called Cisco. Apparently, it is akin to Boone's or MD 20/20, only its 20% alcohol content packs a far bigger wallop. Possibly Illegal in Virginia; status unknown in Ohio. You can be sure that I'll be going on a quest when I return.
Then there are strippers. Do we even need an excuse to talk about them? Well, it stemmed from talking about the upcoming Micah-palooza celebration in Vegas (for my 30th birthday). Want a peek inside their world and have your illusions shattered? Then peruse the forums at Stripper Web - a resource for people in the industry. It's quite enlightening.
As for DC - it's hot. Africa hot.

hope you're having a good time! it's sounds like you are.
let me know if/where you find any Cisco in Columbus.
The search for Cisco must go on! I'm certain that you'll be successful in locating it.
Clyde's was rad, I'm totally taking my next date there and we're gonna be seated in the Lake Room. Hmmm, that could take awhile though. Nah, I'll just go alone.
It was good kicking it with you lot again. God only knows when I'll catch up again (I got that stupid interim clearance, so now I have to start dying slowly...er, working.)
And finally, there is no better dinner conversation than one that focuses on strippers and mythical wine coolers.
okay, status report time...
Thanks to your web detective skills, I've located some places in the ALX and ARL that sell Cisco.
I may go out and purchase one for consumption on friday night. Oh yeah, a cold bottle of Cisco, a bag of Doritos, and 8 Simple Rules For Dating My Daughter...doesn't get much better than that!
THSE, let me know how the Cisco is...I may have to partake this weekend also.
Ahh, strippers. I think we have one of the highest per-capita concentrations of strip bars anywhere in the US. Well, we're technically part of the US.
I'm telling you all, it's pretty damned close to paradise.
what's that you say? Do you lot have Cisco out there as well? If that is the case, then I am packing my things as we speak.
michelle - I had a great time. It was a blast hanging with my friends again.
heartbreak/hunt - Yeah, it was great to see you, too. I sure wish that you could go to Vegas. Phil and I were talking about it and, sure, we'll have fun out there. But you'd take it to the next level. Glad you found a non-black market outlet that sells Cisco. I looked for it on the trip home. The WV gas station that I stopped at had a surprisingly good liquor and wine section. But no luck.
spydrz - Let me know how the Cisco works out for you.
george - That's all well and good, but how is the talent? Because you could have all the gentlemen's clubs in the world, but if they are all stocked with low-grade entertainment...
Well, that's a let-down. I just checked the Cisco retailer directory and there's no "OH" option in the drop-down menu. Guess the powers that be in the Buckeye State have determined that Cisco is one bum wine that we should not consume.
What about the Pimp Juice? I know this was on the market a while back after Nelly's song came out. I always wondered whether it would have some kind of insta-ho effect on me should I drink it.
Pfft! Shame on you for even mentioning Pimp Juice in the same breath as the mighty Cisco.
PJ is nothing more than a gussied up energy drink. It's like comparing Red Bull to Hpnotiq.
Your greatness is now suspect.
t.h.s.e.- I also live in the Buckeye State and have not heard of this mythical Cisco. The name made me think there was some kind of war between the Rap drinks or something.
Oh, and the greatness? Trust me, I got the goods to back it up.
You've been exiled in Ohio since the early 1990's?
You truly are great for withstanding such an endurance test.
