Wednesday, January 19: The news that America is fated to become a Nation of Whores couldn’t have come at a better time for Washingtonians: Tonight you can attend the “How To Be Successful at Internet Dating” event at MadHatter. There you will learn how to maximize your online dating presence, the mysterious art of “meeting someone in person” (Maybe don’t have your first date be an early morning jog through Rock Creek park followed by drinks at the Black Squirrel?) as well as other key tricks to using the internet to increase your economic viability/find love in D.C.

- Wednesday, January 19: For a while there, you could waterboard yourself with as much beer as you wanted and actually afford your bill. But then came the Recession and PBR got all expensive. Now, so long as you can afford an iPhone, you will never, ever have to go without cheap drinks, thanks to “virtual drinking.” The fun begins tonight at The Mighty Pint, where drinks are FREE from 5-6PM and then $1 the rest of the night, so long as you order through the Bartab app on your phone.

- Wednesday, January 19 through Sunday, January 23: The sacred week in which restaurants open their doors to the plebeians and allow them to eat a three-course-dinner for the recession-proof price of $35.11 (or $20.11 in the Atlas District) is once again upon us. You either love Restaurant Week or hate it, or find it unnecessary now that there’s not a day where you can’t get $70 worth of food for $35. Either way, it’s here. Indulge if you want. [Restaurant Week, H Street Eats via What the Hill]
- Sunday, January 23: If you somehow have 5 hours and $45 to spare, the bottomless dim sum and lychee mimosa brunch at Ping Pong Dim Sum is a good option for your time and money. [GregsListDC]
- Monday, January 31: At some point the gimmicks will stop, and Washingtonians will too be forced to eat Slim Jims, cat litter and whatever other foodstuffs are still affordable. But until that day comes, we will continue to turn anything into a gluttonous excuse to eat the innards of an animal (preferably pig): Birch and Barley will be hosting a Beer Belly dinner on January 31. The five course meal includes samples of goat, lamb, hamachi and other beasts’ bellies paired with select craft beers. [Birch & Barley]

Isn't there some way my Droid can just inject the ethanol directly into my bloodstream?
No, but they've got an app that will check your insulin.
You can tell when the Repubicans have come to town. The drinks are free and the … doesn't matter, THE DRINKS ARE FREE.
Mmmm, hamachi guts: very good news for those of us whose default emotional locale is the Slough of Despond. Still, MUST we wait til Jan 31st?
Sweet bleeding Jeebus on a railroad rail, DeeCee is a fine-dining desert, isn't it?
I don't think we're allowed in Ping Pong Dim Sum anymore. Our party abused the free mimosas.
Can I hang out with you?
Sure next time im in DC.
Success in online-dating is achieved the same as success in dating: be overconfident.
Never say sorry unless someone is bleeding.
…I have been waiting for the "Shyt face app" for the longest!!!
All these light beers and low-carbs were already close to virtual drinking anyway. And the wholesale loss of standards is confirmed by the squirrel choosing the Buttwpier over the DogStyle. At least he's drinking it through a straw.
Last night I sez to the Old Lady, "Babe, I can't wait to meet you online," I sez.
If anybody offers armadillo there's gonna be a fight.
Online dating? Oh, hell no! The pictures that the bitches send to you are from the early 80's. If there is a Sony Walkman in the photo, ask for something more recent. Make sure that they are holding an iPad or something not from the 1900's.
If I were dating, I'd look for rotary phones in the background.
I forgot about rotary phones! Man, it took forever to call anyone with one of those.
It would be cool if OkCupid had a personalized test you could have any potential mate take before contact. As it stands now they can read through your answers and change theirs to make them seem they share the same values you do, I want a timed test, no cheating.
I thought they looked first at the 10 year old pictures when they were
a) skinny
b) fit
c) had hair
d) all of the above.
Not just a bar, but at… MadHatter. Where's the first dinner date, Rumors?
Been ripped in DC many a weekend, but the best was the AmTrack from Quantico to Manhattan. Beer was 50c a can in the Club Car those days, which put you in Grand Central at just the right stage of inebriation. Really…You did not want to ride in a NYC cab sober in the 70's.
Why should a cab passenger In NYC be any different from a driver?
My only online dating adventure involved a woman so far off her meds that Merck had a hit team after her.
Would "the yearning to couple" be the yearning curve?
