Drift
Reality > Washington,
DC > December 2003
December
10 - The Reef is located at 2446 18th St. NW in Adams Morgan.
Not to say that anything is wrong with the Tiki lounge on the
ground floor because nothing is. It's foresty and green and you
might feel a little bit tropical when you are sitting there drinking
whatever it is that you are drinking. But I wanted to go to the
fish tank room. So I told the bouncer, "Listen, I write for
an E-Zine called 'Drift Reality,' and I have to review a number
of other places tonight. When can you get me upstairs?'"
He responded by placing me in a "better than normal"
line and I was upstairs within ten minutes. Automatically, I think
to myself, "This place rocks and I'm going to write a positive
review about the place." I didn't have to even lie because
the place charges no cover and when you go upstairs, you're surrounded
by fish tanks. As I was leaving, the bouncer asked if I had been
bullshitting him, and I responded that I hadn't, which I hadn't.
The
place rocked and I'm writing a good review about it.

4 - Why is Ozio, located down near Dupont Circle, a cool bar?
I've
got three reasons why Ozio is badass:
1)
They let me in when I said I was with the press. This is basically
true, more or less. Well, this isn't really press in a conventional
sense, but it is in the search engine optimization sense that
someone doing a search for "Ozio and Washington, DC"
is going to stumble upon my page. The fact that I just wrote "Ozio
and Washington, DC" makes it more probable that someone searching
for these terms will find this page. They weren't going to let
my friends in for free, but then my friends gave me a blank look
because they didn't have any cash on them. After watching us stare
at one another like vagabonds for about two minutes, she sighed
and told us to just go in.
2)
There are good looking Asians there. I am half-Asian and like
the way Asian people look, maybe because they look like me. Anyway,
I'm really writing gibberish right now, that is what writing corporate
reports every month will do to you, so I will move on to my final
point.
3)
Ozio rocks because there is good music, a cool interior, fairly
laid back people, and you can't quote me on any of this because
I was so drunk when I went there.
Just
go and see for yourself, it's worth the cover. Ozio is located
at 1813 M Street, NW. (202) 822-6000.
