The tour guide said he is not sure when the exhibition will open to the general public. The museum needs to work out the logistics. The Infinity Rooms are cleaned with an air purifier between each visit, which is not practical with large crowds.

How‘s the new year going for everyone so far? would be great to get everyone together once this omicron surge is over. Do we have any plans?

I need a haircut. Badly. Last Wednesday my barber informed me that he popped positive for COVID so scruffy I shall stay until he recovers

The entertaining bookcore thread has me wondering...are there any good bookstores in DC or (better yet) the VA burbs?

They are increasingly hard to find. Here's a few off the top of my head:

Politics and Prose Bookstore | Independent bookstore and coffeehouse in Washington, D.C. since 1984

Kramers | Bookstore, Bar, & Restaurant in Dupont Circle

Kramers is a DC institution located in the heart of Dupont Circle. The carefully curated bookstore is adjoined by a cozy bar & glass-enclosed restaurant, All Day..

I’ve never seen anyone dress that way at any of the bookstores I frequent. Kramer Books and Politics and Pros are two of stores I like to hit up. How do you dress when going to bookstores?

I can't say I've ever dressed in a specific way to go to a bookstore. I typically wear whatever I'm wearing at the time. My casual wardrobe is probably dressier than average (corduroys or fatigues, no jeans, flannels/chambray/denim shirts, etc.).

The food at Kramers is much better than you would expect it to be. It's become a go-to place to grab a bite to eat for me and my friend after we visit the Phillips Collection.

I just recently discovered the DC public library's e-book catalog.

I suspect it's probably great, however, I cannot get into e-reading. I think I only finish about 25% of the books I start on kindle...but real books almost always get read, unless they suck.

Same here. "Bookcore" mostly pulled out of thin air it seems.
