There's a picture of a very unshaven yours truly, hanging out in my favorite coffee shop (Tryst), in the latest issue of Washingtonian.

"Writer Chris Mooney, 29, mentioned Tryst in the acknowledgements of his 2005 bestseller, The Republican War on Science: 'I must also thank all of the Tryst servers whose steady stream of coffee facilitated the writing of this book on many a late night in Adams Morgan.'"
