So are we going to meet at the Red Room, and then move if it gets too crowded? Or should we just go to the Bar Polar to start?? I need to tell the forum people and some other friends too.

I was trying to find this place online and couldn't.... someone else from the area found this link below, but it's called Bar Pilar. I'm assuming it's the right place. http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?node=cityguide/profile&id=1112933&lat=38.9150000&lon=-77.0319000&displaySearchTerm=&displaySearchLocation=&categories=Bars%20&%20Clubs Editorial Review After a couple of weeks of false starts, Bar Pilar finally opened Thursday night. A sister restaurant and bar to the neighboring Cafe Saint-Ex, Bar Pilar takes its name from Ernest Hemingway's fishing boat, but its menu and motif are all over the map. Pilar is a small, one-room saloon that won't draw crowds with DJs or dance parties -- it has neither -- but its location near the Black Cat, Saint-Ex and the rest of the bustling 14th and U Street corridor should ensure a steady stream of hipster foot traffic. A bonus: The kitchen stays open until 1 a.m., churning out everything from burgers to fish sandwiches to tacos. What's most appealing about Pilar -- formerly known as El Camino Real II -- is the cozy atmosphere. Walls are faux-finished to approximate decades of tobacco smoke, and large patches of broken plaster expose the old brick underneath. Lights are kept relatively dim. Decorations include large marlins and a bizarre painting that depicts Hemingway fishing with owner Mike Benson. The gorgeous wooden bar -- estimated to be from the 1940s or early '50s -- came from the grand old Washington Hilton via the now-closed Babe's Billiards, complete with frosted glass panels and elegant iron rails intact. When you stop in, ask about the new Viking Beer, which Benson is now importing from Iceland, or order the awesome Small Craft Warning Pils, a bracing beer from Baltimore's Clipper City Brewing Company. - -- Fritz Hahn (June 2005) Red ===================================================================== Bunnymen Online Presence: http://www.bunnymenlist.com * http://www.bunnymen.info * http://www.bunnymen.com * http://www.fotolog.net/sgtfuzz/ * http://www.villiersterrace.com * http://www.angelfire.com/wy2/discog/ * http://www.softskull.com/detailedbook.php?isbn=1-887128-89-6 * ====================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2005 19:05:43 -0400 From: "Kristin Smith" Subject: seven-seas www.larazon.es http://www.larazon.es/noticias/noti_esp87595.htm I think there is some interesting stuff in this, despite the (Babelfish) translation problem. - K :) The return of I throw and the Bunnymen Adriana Frade Rothlander Ian McCullock and Will Sergeant form I throw and The Bunnymen (echo and the men rabbit), one of the bands that better the splendor of the pop Briton of the eighty with discs like "The defines to cutter" and "The killing moon". After four years without publishing a disc, the Bunnymen returns with "Siberia", a work gladder than those of his first musical time: "I like the idea to imagine to us in Siberia, because she places to us in a place separated from everything, that is where always we like to be". they Ian has an important cough, has not slept much and one apologizes by his exhaustion, but it remembers between laughter the origin of the group. As a result of a performance in 1978, they signed a contract and with its first disc they were located in the first positions of the lists of sales. The musical evolution of Ian, changing of band incessantly, did not stop: "I believe that the transformation is necessary in a musician. Somebody asked the other day to me if it repeated to me to same me, but the life is that all the ways, you only must find new ways to count the subjects of which you speak ". And it adds: "I always write on the same questions, but from an emotional point of view, I believe that romantic and optimistic". Kills is a song in the disc with the title "Everything you" (all it kills to you) that Ian analyzes: "I believe that it is a fantastic phrase. One talks about to that all it breaks to you, that sensation of oppression that arrives once in a while ", something that they have lived during these 26 years of adventure: "I do not decide the principle bse to me rC-eb, so I believe that he is far better this that the past. In addition, now we make better songs and we have learned many lessons, but I follow without removing nothing clear from my errors ".
