We look to offer a new band name every week. This week’s name is: DC3P0. This would probably make an awesome trivia team, right? Maybe some math or space rock band would want a name referencing the Star Wars goldman. Also, do we think that C3PO and R2-D2 had a bromance going, or was it more...

Modern Times Coffehouse is located below the Politics and Prose bookstore, which is off of Connecticut Avenue near the 495 junction. It’s a little bit out there.
