The Cicadas are Coming!

[northzax]

who else is kinda excited by the coming plague? I hear in places it can get kinda biblical!

Me, I'm having a little party to eat them (rumours are they are tasty simmered in butter) any one else have plans?

1. hmm....

i'll have to toss one on the grill when they get here.

2. Hmmm...

3. A very trippy experience...

I remember going down to Rock Creek Park 17 years back, and their was a literal symphony of Cicadas so loud, my friend & I could barely hear each other...

I thought it was pretty cool really...

4. OK, I admit it...

I can't tell if you're joking. :shrug: I mean, I assume you're joking about the eating part. But I'm not sure.

Personally, I'm looking forward to the cicadas with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. Anyone know if they do anything other than swarm around? Is there anything to be afraid of?

5. actually, I'm not

but then again, I work in a wine store and they pay me to do stuff like that.

6. Which wine store? (nt)

7. BestCellars, Dupont

and soon to be clarendon. My Grad School/Envrionmental consulting habit needs something solid to support it.

check it out, free tastings between 5:30 abnd 7:30 weekdays! and we're right on your way home...

8. No kidding!

You may have sold me wine. The DU office used to be right across the street from there, above Zorba's Greek Cafe.

Now we're over near 17th and R. So I haven't been to Best Cellars in about a year. But I'm frequently over in that part of town. Maybe I'll stop into a tasting. How often are you there?

[northzax]

9. bout 30 hours a week

monday nights, wednesday and friday days and saturday afternoons/evenings. you know my name, ask for me.

and I know my Zorba's well, we eat a lot of carryout...

10. Mmm, cicadas

Actually, I think I'll pass on the locusts. The District offers no shortage of culinary options, this being one that doesn't necessarily appeal to me. I live a block from the Park - so I'm fully expecting them to roll up the hill like some Biblical plague.
