Wednesday, December 1: Because last week an ancient ex-Nazi declared that condoms are kinda sorta okay, this could very well be the BEST World AIDS Day ever. Congratulate AIDS on another successful year of causing much death by attending a cocktail benefit for the Whitman-Walker Clinic at the wine bar Urbana. Admission is $10 and includes a free drink.

- Friday, December 3: Get in the Hanukkah spirit at a Christmas party: The Black Squirrel is hosting a Christmas party Friday night that features cookie decorating (!), Great Lakes Christmas Ale and Christmas themed desserts like eggnog custard. Sorry kids: it may be Hanukkah, but don’t expect to find any jelly-filled donuts or chocolate coins at the party. [Black Squirrel]
- Saturday, December 4: Riley has promised to do his Melbourne Shuffle at the Soul Clap and Dance-Off party Saturday night at Comet Ping Pong. What is a Soul Clap and Dance-Off party? It’s when a deejay from New York (!) plays rare soul 45s of subterranean maximum rock and soul music (huh?) and people form a circle and dance, and the best dancer wins $100. [Brightest Young Things]
- Sunday, December 5: The fabled land that is Georgetown is hosting a Merriment Festival Sunday afternoon, and because merriment seems like a non-denominational emotion, this could be the fun activity for everyone, including those who despise the holidays. The festival features gourmet hot chocolate, complimentary horse-drawn carriage rides, and the obligatory fruitcake eating contest. [3rd Annual Merriment in Georgetown]
- Monday, December 6: Maybe you can’t wait to go home for Christmas? Or maybe the idea of going home for Christmas makes you want to drink, a lot? To ease the pain of counting down the days until Christmas, Bibiana is serving a different holiday-themed cocktail every day until the 25th. Just be sure to ask Santa for a new liver should you indulge. And maybe a raise too, as the cocktails are $12 each. [Bibiana]
- The End of Times: Haha, here’s the best part about the fact that the Cereal Bowl in Cleveland Park is closing less than a year after it opened: If it were a food truck, it would probably be just fine. It’s not like the macaroni and cheese food truck or the fries that come topped with fat food truck are going out of business anytime soon. Here’s to the future of D.C. restaurants: may we never eat under a roof again. [All Life Is Local]

So, will Kings Go Forth at that Soul Tram* party?
*Since trams & light-rail seem whiter, just like the neo-soul movement. BONUS, for my coolness quotient: one of the guitarists in KGF lived two houses down from me when he was six, eight, ten years old. He was also a snivelling prick.
Great, now I need brain bleach since Arielle made me think of sex and McCain at the same time.
John McCain, that is; I can certainly think of sex and Megs at the same time.
This is shocking news — we still have yuppies?
I don't think so–all that's left are OVVURPies…old, very very urban retired peoples…
Cereal Bowl would still be in business if they could have figured out a way to smuggle it in to the Uptown cinema with a pint of milk. Otherwise it just spills all over your purse. Not that I know or anything…
I've always found that a picture of John McCain is the most effective form of birth control.
We still have yuppies, except now we call them "Homeless".
With the new crop of GOP freshmen I'm assuming fruitcake is the food of the moment?
Hey, nobody likes a cereal killer.
The Pope is right. Condoms are useful sometimes. Look how useful a condom is being to those who wish to crush Julian Assange.
Hold on a sec… if the Pope says that only male prostitutes can wear condoms…
So, all guys, just change your title to "prostitute" (even if you're married), and make your wife pay you for sex…
Roman Catholic Morality Crisis averted, and ECONOMY DOUBLES SWIFTLY IN FOURTH QUARTER
In fairness to the Cereal Bowl. I would definitely overpay for cereal. I could honestly live off of cereal alone. I would not however, hike on up to Cleveland Park to overpay for cereal.
Also, they really should have posted up somewhere in Georgetown. Between the college kids who spend like its Monopoly money and the desire to purchase overpriced salads, cupcakes, and frozen yogurt that overwhelms all who walk on M St., they would be raking in the cash.
This Riley you speak of sounds very, very urban.
This extremely urban column has confused the urban fuck out of me.
But, since I'm 3000 miles away, this should have very little quantum-mechanical impact.
