Vie De France

Well Essie showed up in her newly fixed car (it has been in the shop for a year) at 6:30 and I met her with the parking pass and we headed over to Vie de france for Wednesday Karaoke Night.
During the day it is lunch/faux patisserie/sandwich shop nestled in the promenade of an 80s-style office building housing the USDA school, a flower/card shop with no flowers, Korean dry-cleaner, lotto corner-type store.
At night the bar opens up and it is a happy hour joint. I always pass it to and from Italian class and after work and it always looks pretty tired and the last thing I want to do in my off hours is spend more time in L'Enfant Plaza.
For lack of better inspiration and out of convenience we decided to have Biddy's farewell thing there. They also have a cheap bu t disgusting make-your-own taco buffet so you can eat.
At first the crowd was very white-collar government worker type. Biddy was going to sing after a couple of drinks but I don't think they would let her because they seem to have "regulars," some with fan-bases. One women went up twice but she didn't sing she just danced. I also think they only let black people sing although there was one Jewish guy who rapped. Everyone was pretty good. Germaine, a nice woman named Mary, Thomas, and two of Biddy's friends came. And later some of the Indonesians came with a man who works in our building and we have never seen spent the whole time talking about the birthday party he will be throwing for his dog. Later the crowd shifted and doo-rags started coming in and there was a cat-fight so it was time to go.

I think Katrina will have moved out by the time I get home. Haven't seen her for weeks anyways.
