Hit & Run? No, Just A Flat Tire
May 24, 2007 at 8:26 am
A rare night out for Extreme Mortman yesterday as we headed to the big city for Reason magazine’s grand opening of its breathtaking new Dupont Circle offices — a mixture of “Real World,” “Blade Runner,” and, only because it’s two of our favorite movies and really has nothing to do with Reason’s new offices, “Dr. Strangelove” and “Blazing Saddles.”
Imagine our excitement to start off our journey – then imagine our anger/frustration at the end of that journey when we took a curb too tight and slashed our rear passenger side tire. Triple A did come out to help — and demanded a tip. The wait for roadside assistance gave us enough time to pop by the party, say hello to such boldface media celebrities as Nick Gillespie, Mike Alissi, David Weigel, Shira Toeplitz, and Terry Michael. Then back to the car, a spare tire, a drive home — and a longing for what could’ve been.
