hey, if you get in, let me know. i live in DC (everyone knows that), i go to school 5 blocks away from the White House, I walk by it every day (betcha didn't know THAT though) when is it? if you got in, that would be plenty spiffy. i got invited to that thing actually, but i'm not all that into politics, and anyway, for me it's like oo0oh!!! let's pay thousands of dollars to go to *gasp* DC!!!!!

uni"hey, i'll come laugh at you as you try to see EVERY MUSEUM on the smithsonian in ONE DAY!!!"peg
