from DC's "Metro Weekly" paper - Parts of it are cited in many places but there is a lot of detail in it so I'm posting the whole article, hope that's alright NOTE: More information on the Comet sign - one of his friends helped him get it from the liquor store, he didn't just buy it. APRIL 16, 2015 METROWEEKLY.COM

GUY FIERI WAS SKEPTICAL OF JAMES ALEFAN-tis’ cooking skills.“Guy comes in and he’s really nice,” Alefantis recounts of their first encounter five years ago. “But he’s looking at me a little bit like, ‘What’s this kid doing? How is this guy going to cook?’”But Alefantis quickly won over the Food Network star during his visit to Comet Ping Pong. “We start making the clam pizza, making the dough. Then he sees me tie the pork, roast the pork for the calzone. He’s looking like, ‘Alright, you get it.’ He’s lov-ing it.”An understatement to be sure. In the episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives that featured Comet, Fieri raved that the Yalie clam pizza and the Philly calzone churned out by Alefantis’ D.C. “dive” were “some of the best he’s ever had.” He also praised Alefantis for making his own tomato sauce. Fieri was even inspired by Comet’s wood-burning oven, imported from Italy and built on-site: “He’s built three ovens on his properties, just like mine.”The appeal of Comet Ping Pong goes well beyond the pies and other menu items that are often slightly healthier yet hearty versions of standard Italian-American diner fare. Over the years, Comet has developed into “a kind of community center,” regularly hosting fundraisers for local schools and other causes. And in the back of the upper Connecticut Avenue restaurant you’ll regularly find groups of people playing friendly rounds of ping-pong.Launched in 2006, Comet Ping Pong is Alefantis’ first res-taurant in which he’s the executive chef, and only second as owner, after Buck’s Fishing & Camping — which he had opened roughly two years before, and two doors down Connecticut Avenue. But Alefantis, who turns 40 this year, has worked in restaurants since high school, including a stint in New York working at a Bobby Flay location. Prior to opening Buck’s, he had served two years as the general manager of Johnny’s Half Shell in Dupont Circle.Alefantis, who briefly owned a small art gallery in Georgetown a decade ago, now serves as board president of Transformer, a contemporary art gallery in Logan Circle. His passion for the arts is reflected in both his restaurants, but notably Comet, which boasts a large mural of a blazing comet created by a col-lective of artists, this magazine’s Christopher Cunetto among them. His unabashed love of theater has lead him to sponsor several local theatrical productions, and he equates operating a restaurant with theatrical endeavors.“Restaurants are a bit like theater,” he says. “Every day is like a new show. The interior is like a set. So it fulfills a lot of my desires.” But while he points out that “it’s fun to do projects that begin and end,” as most plays have a closing date, “a restaurant has no end.”Over the years, Alefantis has also become well-known for his grass-roots philanthropy, though his approach is decidedly low-key.“I try to support a lot of things in the community — usually schools and the arts, but some gay causes as well.” One such cause is Food and Friends’ Dining Out for Life (see our annual guide, pg. xx). This year, both Buck’s and Comet will donate 50 percent of every bill to the cause.“I think it’s important for gay people to support our com munity’s causes,” he says. “And I think it’s important for small businesses to support local organizations, too.”Alefantis attributes his loose-limbed, casual outlook to his noncompetitive nature, a quality best exemplified by the game in Comet’s name. “I love ping-pong,” he says. “It’s not table tennis. You play to win, kind of, but you’re not trying to kill your oppo-nent. You’re trying to have a good time.” M Do you ever wish you had pursued more theater? Or would you like to do that in the future? WALEFANTIS I would love to. The restaurants are a bit like theater. Every day is like a new show. The interior is like a set. So it ful-fills a lot of those desires. [But] it’s fun to do projects that begin and end — a restaurant has no end. So it would be exciting to do something that opens, is a success or failure, and then closes, over a shorter term. But I’ve been able to support theater. Last year at Studio Theatre, I sponsored a play directed by my friend Tom [Story],

There is a ton more - too long to post, read it here https://www.scribd.com/document/262048313/Metro-Weekly-04-16-15-James-Alefantis

@Yuke this page from 2008 has two receipts from Jimmy to Hillery for a total of $1000, and says $2500 for the "election cycle". http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg/?28990970488

@Yuke You'll like this - I found evidence of Alefantis donations to politicos for 2006, 7, 8 right here https://www.scribd.com/document/332081309/FEC-Search-James-Alefantis-PizzaGate 2006 - year CPP founded shows over $1700 just on this page!

Here is where you go to back up and find other pages like this with probably a lot more donations - Jimmy is such a giver. https://www.scribd.com/document/332081309/FEC-Search-James-Alefantis-PizzaGate

I like this page so I'm putting a lot on here.

Here is an article less well known about the startup of CPP. I mostly include it because of this "Pedo Chicken or Pedo Pizza?" passage: This is an article I haven't seen before about the development and early menu of CPP:

What to serve? Alefantis and Greenwood originally thought they'd devote a menu to roast chicken and call the place The Hen House. The idea of keeping some vestige of the long-running Thai restaurant intrigued them, too, and the business partners considered keeping part of its title -- but offering pizza -- at The Pie Room. In the end, chicken lost out to pizza; Alefantis found a neon sign from Comet Liquor in Adams Morgan that he couldn't live without; and the interior of the Thai Room was transformed, with a lot of sweat and a shoestring budget, into a modern-day version of yesteryear's Italian American pizza parlors, with the added attraction of a few Ping-Pong tables in the back. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/05/AR2007070501270.html

This article also contains this info on who was working there including Jimmy's mother - More eye candy hangs across from the bar: 52 black-and-white photographs of just about everyone who had a hand in the restaurant's creation. That includes Joseph Wills, the metal worker responsible for the clever wood-and-metal benches in the dining room; Ed Addiss, the wine importer who finds bargains from lesser known wine regions (in this case, southwestern France); Ali Moussalli, who grows beets, chard, herbs and onions on his farm in Northern Virginia for Greenwood; and even Alefantis's mother, Susan. "She does things for me all the time," her son explains.

BTW - I have seen a picture somewhere of a liquor storefront with the CPP sign, so along with this article that seems to be the case - the sign was not custom made for CPP but second hand item. It is weird how the stars and crescent moon seem to match the Baphomet image ones, but it's either a coincidence or Jimmy bought the sign off a fellow satanist liquor store owner.

Finally, I find this to be an interesting study of a close up of Majestic Ape's mouth - gosh it rings a bell. Just watch a video of Alefantis' smarmy smile as he protests his innocence and it sure looks similar. close up, it doesn't look like a woman's mouth at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZkojrcD_0I This video also states J. Comet is 5'6" tall, 160 pds. No supporting documentation. If true it could account for how Majestic Ape looks like a sort of "dumpy" female while J. Comet looks fit. With awkard clothes and a bra I suppose his drag could transform him into a dumpy broad pretty easily.

I'm glad I found this thread and I have something different to add.

Here is an image that has been missing from many of his archive lists Same kind of terrible photo of an infant with weird comments https://web.archive.org/web/20161122081158/https://i.redd.it/x7hb3zlg34yx.jpg

Those video artifacts are not from the camera. That's post processing.

re Carole Greenwood, he might have just been discussing their different roles

says Carole Greenwood, chef and co-owner of Buck's Fishing & Camping in Northwest Washington.

There is such a wealth of information here. May I expand (full page) a link from one of the snaggys?

http://archive.is/2O5n7

"But I really think that there is a need to have somewhere to go with your friends to sit down and hang out for an hour or an hour and a half, and have good food."

Here is a video interview with Alefantis, where he says repeatedly that he serves 700 pizzas a day. That's a pizza a minute, every minute, for a solid twelve hours! Comet is sit-down only. No delivery as per his operating agreement with the neighborhood commission.

http://www.greatamericancountry.com/video/pizza-at-comet-ping-pong-0207483

If table turnover is up to a hour and a half at Comet, how can he sell a pizza a minute.

All of the linked articles in the OP's submission are worth a read. From the same article, have a laugh when Alefantis mocks spending a million or a million and a half "for a pizza dive". The funny part is we know the Comet property sold for $1.8 million.

If you do a search you can find out where that tomato farm is where they got the tons of "fresh tomato's" from. The even had a picture of the farmer above the bar back when they first started out.

Interestingly enough, nr. 50 on that top 50 list is Bradley Graham and Lissa Muscatine. http://www.gq.com/gallery/50-most-powerful-people-in-washington-dc#50

They bought the Politics & Prose bookstore close to comet pingpong in 2011.

Very interesting. Again, how does the owner of a pizza dive get to be one of the 50 most powerful people in DC? Who was giving him the money to open these places?
