I know I would be inclined to come to 506 more often if smoking was at
least limited somewhat.  For us to go out on a weeknight these days it
has to be someone we really really want to see, and it's easy to use
"we're gonna smell like walking ashtrays when we get home" as an
excuse not to go.  The smoke-free Cradle is great.

Mrs. Golf and I went with some friends from Richmond to see Gang of
Four at the 9:30 in DC a couple of years ago, and apparently there is
a two pack per person minimum at the 9:30 (at least for the 3 tobacco
fiends in front of us.)  Great show, nice venue, but we were miserable
all night.
