Knife, if you take the C town bus, you'll be getting off at either H st or I st and 7th NW. By the time you get in, we'll might be drunk at pirate home base (7th and NY ave ... 3 block from the bus) or totally smashed beyond reason at my place. DC is relatively simple. the capitol building is the center, numbered streets go up as you travel east and west away from the cap (like away from McDonald Ave). Letter streets go up as you go North and South (like you are traveling along Ocean pkway from church ave) away from the capitol. So for example 4st and D st have 4 possibilities, so you need to follow it with NW NE SE or SW. then there are ave named after states that run at angles ... like Bway whch gives you short cuts
