I admire Mr. Citrano. I met him at the The Fairfax at Embassy Row, where he was staying, at about half-7 on Friday. I had a great time.
We grabbed a drink in the lounge (I had a couple 12-year Dewars neat) and then walked to Lauriol Plaza, where we opened the cosmic tap while enjoying Mexifood (and I had a Margarita on the rocks with salt).
The good news, guys, is that “Washington girls are much better looking than Boston girls.” The bad news is that “girls in New York and LA are much better looking than Washington girls.” I paraphrased.
After eating, we walked to the Beacon Martini Sky Bar to say hey to Adam Dubitsky as he welcomed his birthday. I ordered a dirty martini and I have to admit that although I am not a martini drinker, that was one hell of a tasty drink.
That was one tasty martini.
Athony is one hell of a cool dude and a great friend. It was great to see him. Not often enough. Check out his blog, Cosmic Tap, and get ready to have your mind expanded.
Or maybe it was just the dirty martini.

You paraphrased well (and accurately,) as good writers do. I also had a great time. Two quick questions – why do you DC’ers stop drinking at 11? And why do you dial 911 for taxis?
Hey, why the hell did we stop drinking? What the hell was I thinking. Actually, fucking up the rest of the world takes 24/7, man! There’s a lot of work when world domination requires a spartan-like devotion.
Hello,
I hope you are having a wonderful day. I work for the Fairfax at Embassy row- a hotel in Washington DC that used to be the Westin. We found the following link: http://chrisabraham.com/2006/08/20/a-tony-night-with-anthony/when searching for the hotel and the old reference to Westin is having a negative impact on our search. Is there anyway you could remove or update this link to read The Fairfax at Embassy Row, Washington, D.C. and link tohttp://www.starwoodhotels.com/luxury/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=245?
Thank you!
Done.
