At Overheard, we’ll go for any excuse to have a party. New Year’s? Obviously. Halloween? Let’s find a costume. Housewarming? Sign us up. Bank error in your favor? Sounds like an occassion for celebration to us. If you stock the refrigerator, we will come. Still, we don’t think we’ve ever been to a party with quite the sense of urgency as the one mentioned in this week’s quote of the week. And we agree with the logic completely: 18 months (9 with good behavior?) is a long time after all.

Quote of the Week

At the intersection of Connecticut and Q Street:

Woman on phone: “Yeah, we had a real good time, we didn’t have a choice, the party had to be Wednesday, she was going to turn herself in on Thursday morning, and well, 18 months is a long time.”

After the jump, best party ever, rock stars, and campaigning crazies.

The first rule of Overheard is you always talk about what you overheard. Directly to us. At overheardindc (at) gmail (dot) com.
