This Weekend in Bethesda...

The 2005 Small Press Expo, "North America's Premiere Independent Cartooning and Comics Arts Festival." You know, Neil Gaiman will be in DC this weekend for the National Book Festival. Wonder if he'll be making his way up to Bethesda to check out the indy comic stuff. Harvey Pekar will be there...

The following weekend is Taste of Bethesda. Totally different crowd. I highly doubt Harvey Pekar will be present, sampling nummy tidbits of Thai salad and hearty fare from the overpriced kosher steakhouse...

Speaking of food, Krupin's Deli has new signage - now, it is merely K's Deli. I don't know if this means that Krupin's simply has decided to stop kickin' it old school and just go with the Diddy philosophy of names that "less is more" or it's not a Krupin running the show anymore. (I envision Tommy Lee Jones after another mind wipe, a la Men In Black.) I used to get a kick out of the Krupin's references on The West Wing.

Is the pastrami from Krupins?

LEO
Yes.

BARTLET
Tissue paper thin?

LEO
Yes.

Truth be told, it's not really all that great. But, for DC, it'll do.
