Keep the spirit of Indigenous Peoples Day/Columbus Day going, all weekend long. There’s this band called “Bombaye”—see?—and then Britpop night, which, again, European oppression. And of course another Oktoberfest, this time with Professional Germans.

- Bombaye will be at the Velvet Lounge tonight. Show up and impress the crowd with your knowledge of postcolonial theory and make a topical joke about “Mumbaie.” [Velvet Lounge]
- All weekend the noir classic Double Indemnity will be playing at the AFI Silver. Starring Barbara Stanwyck and some other people of lesser attractiveness. [AFI Silver]
- Here is an Oktoberfest at the German Embassy. Professional Germans—German diplomats, even!—will be there, at their most German-y outside of Germany. Dear god. 8 PM - Midnight; $149 (3 Euros). [Things To Do DC]

Are you trying to get us to, like, actually turn off our computers and go outside? I think there is a hidden message here.
Speaking of European brotherhood, I spotted this in Prague last week.

This is actually a great feature. I am twice as likely to go out and do something if Wonkette recommends it.
I feel like Lewis Black was way more expensive when he played here. This makes me want to yell and point my finger in a hilarious manner.
Speaking of Britpop night, I can’t wait for Sarah Palin to re-record this tune when she returns to Alaska in disgrace!
Double Indemnity ROCKS. One of my all-time favorite movies.
Michelle Bernard is hot as hell. That is all.
Oktoberfest: Because the promotion of German nationalism worked so well last time!
Have fun in D.C. this weekend….. suckas. If anyone is in SF this weekend, there’s gonna sodomy on Friday, bible burning on Saturday and liberal mediaz on Sunday.

Washington DC sounds so scintillating!
“I can remember lying awake in a hotel in downtown Washington listening to the sounds of an August night wash in through the open window: sirens, car horns, the thrum of neon from the hotel sign, the swish of traffic, people laughing, people yelling, people being shot.”

Does Golden Boy Pizza in the North Beach area still exist?
These things all sound scary. I’d only go if Juli went with me to hold my hand and whatnot. Also..the old wheelchair..you know…needs pushing.
