@BarredinDC @ThrillistDC Food is good too!

[Travis Mitchell @travisjmitchell]

@BarredinDC Shhhhh! 😁

[Travis Mitchell @travisjmitchell]

@jeffmorgen @fritzhahn Great idea. I'm genuinely curious though if you think people can do the equation though between a 3oz old fashioned at say, 38% abv or a 12 oz Paloma at 9% abv (or a 14 oz beer that's 7% abv? Which is actually "stronger"?

@PoPville And, looks like @andpizza is coming to the fmr @squisitousa spot in Tenleytown

[Travis Mitchell @travisjmitchell]

@BarredinDC It's not just eating and drinking. Working out maskless is sooo much better than the alternative.

[Travis Mitchell @travisjmitchell]

Seconded. Don't understand why @CapitalOneArena @WashWizards didn't use the arena sound? We were in the 100 level and could not understand a damn thing.

[Justin @JustinWDC]

Are the @WashWizards giving refunds for this game with how bad the sound for @Ludacris is? Completely inaudible.

[Travis Mitchell @travisjmitchell]

Was great to see @mountain_goats @jonwurster and crew last night over @FillmoreSS. Lots of hits and tracks from the archive. If you're planning to see a show there, bring layers. Wear a hat. A/C was insane! 🥶❄️

[Travis Mitchell @travisjmitchell]

@BarredinDC SF is using this model, yeah? Vaxxed/no masks for offices, gyms, theaters, etc (places where easy to validate status and attendance)

[Tom Roussey @tomroussey7news]

A letter signed by eight DC gyms and fitness studios says a mandate requiring masks for people working out indoors is hurting them greatly, and they believe exercise can be done safely indoors without a mask. So far the city is not budging. #gym #fitness

[Travis Mitchell @travisjmitchell]

@ideasimprove Thanks for this. For me, it's toughest in situations like, "oh this is an interesting/expensive/rare ____ (beer/wine/spirit)," and gee how do let my brain pass up this "opportunity" without the FOMO, etc. Guess that is moderation kicks in, yeah?

[Travis Mitchell @travisjmitchell]

"While bars, restaurants and clubs are subject to the same mandate, in practice, customers in these venues do not have to wear a mask as long as “they have a drink somewhere nearby,” the letter said.

I can agree w/Tom that pan con tomate is one of the best dishes at Spanish Diner. Not sure what that says, exactly.

[Tom Sietsema @tomsietsema]

Let the ordering begin! Tom Sietsema’s 10 favorite restaurant dishes in the D.C. area include eats and drinks from Happy Gyro, Mama Chang, @AnnabelleDC, @InnatLittleWash @DaruDC, Imperfecto, @spanishdiner and @uncondiner https://t.co/0vql2Mw7c8

[Travis Mitchell @travisjmitchell]

@justind4885 @BarredinDC @CDCgov Oh good point. Maybe? I didn't see the original question.

[Travis Mitchell @travisjmitchell]

@juliezweil @MayorBowser @TheArtist_MBS Thank you for asking this. Please keep asking these questions. I can go to yoga/the gym in Arlington w/o a mask but not in D.C.? Makes ZERO sense. At least let us check vax cards.

[Travis Mitchell @travisjmitchell]

@BarredinDC Only reason I care is because I doubt Bowser will bother to roll back indoor masking unless case numbers go down. Not because I myself am worried/concerned.

[Travis Mitchell @travisjmitchell]

@BarredinDC @_DCHealth Sure, fine. But do we have faith that they'll roll back indoor masking once we drop below 50 cases/day? It's more frustrating that they haven't said *when* this can/will/should end.

[Travis Mitchell @travisjmitchell]

useful....

[Beatrice Peterson (@MissBeaE on all platforms) @MissBeaE]

When asked by @RamirezReports about a regional vaccine passport DC @MayorBowser said she didn't have anything to say.

When asked if she would be supportive of one, Bowser told Ramirez, "I don't know."

[Travis Mitchell @travisjmitchell]

@BarredinDC Not sure why there's not more traction to just telling sick vaxxed people to stay home.

[Travis Mitchell @travisjmitchell]

@BarredinDC Still masks tho...le sigh 😔

[DistrictAi @districtai]

DC has just recorded its first Covid related death in August. The mask mandate has been in place for 12 days. Cases have roughly tripled. Hmmm.
