Thanks for letting us know about this?

anyone been to Busboys and Poets?

  
 Don't miss your chance to sit down with the provocative and side-
splitting columnist over lunch and see why Dave Barry calls Gene 
Weingarten "outrageously funnyÂ…literally: He is guaranteed to outrage 
some. But if you're smart, you'll absolutely love him." 

As the humor writer for The Washington Post, Gene Weingarten's 
column "Below the Beltway" has appeared weekly in the Post's Sunday 
magazine since July, 2000, and has been distributed 
nationwide. "Below the Beltway" examines life in all its absurdity. 
It good-naturedly traffics in ridicule, character assassination, and 
intelligent smart-aleckry. It stimulates that part of the brain that 
wants to laugh but isn't sure it should. Weingarten also hosts a 
highly popular Washington Post online chat that fearlessly plumbs 
current events, politics, philosophy, medicine, the art of comic 
strips, the protocols of gender, and even the indelicacy of bodily 
functions. 

Experience includes a $50 gift certificate to Busboys and Poets in 
the U Street Corridor to be used at a mutually convenient date and 
time with Mr. Weingarten. The lunch is for up to two individuals with 
Mr. Weingarten. The certificate is for Mr. Weingarten's lunch as well 
as the winner and guest, if there is one. Any cost over the value of 
the certificate must be paid by winning bidder. Courtesy of Gene 
Weingarten and Busboys and Poets, www.busboysandpoets.com. 

Winner will be sent certificate for this experience.


Current bid is $205.87.  Search "Gene Weingarten" on ebay if you want 
to take a chance!
