D to the C

laurel and i went to DC this weekend to visit da beez, guitar playing joe, and an '80s band member.

long story short, the following things happened:

1. a little kid on the bus on the way down say about 15 times "those aren't trees," pointing at...trees.

2. we saw ROBOTS. one played the trumpet, one walked up and down stairs, and one was the proudest geisha in the world.

3. we saw an '80s cover band call the legwarmers. laurel almost got in a fist fight. liz danced like gob during "final countdown." and i rubbed against a guy wearing a Booger t-shirt.

4. we hugged the washington monument.

5. we saw lincoln's hat, the polio vaccine, and R2D2 and C3PO while dancing and singing Prince.

6. we got trashed at a seedy bar, subsequently landing us at an equally seedy bar, where laurel and i were kissed by a gay dude dressed like a bumblebee. i got a lap dance as well.

7. we saw PANDA BEARS. i decided that while no one was looking, they had panda raves.

8. we said hi to stephen colbert's portrait.

9. on the way home, laurel and i fell asleep and were woken up by the sound of the door almost falling off the bus.

oh, and i decided that if the trains ever run past midnight, i'm moving to DC.
