D.C.

So Emily and I went out to D.C. to do some sight seeing and visit her brother Matt and his wife Laura. Overall the trip was really good, we got to eat at a lot of great local restaurants and see a lot of the sights; for more of a run down on what happened you can go check out Emily's blog. There is one story that I wish to mention though; one night the four of us were walking through Crystal City (Crystal City is the name of the area Matt and Laura live in) to go to Cold Stone, well we were walking through the underground mall like shopping structure that from what I gather makes up a large part of Crystal City. Anyway, in the halls of this subterranean labyrinth there were posters, or ads rather, all over the walls. Every other ad, it seemed, was the same gentleman wearing a kimono and brandishing a sword in the wilderness with the subtitle "If this is what he does in his free time imagine what he does at work". The add was for some rinky dink community college and was just overall very humorous. Most of the trip to Cold Stone we spent making fun of the gentleman in the ad and his general nerdiness but on the trip home we paid little heed to them seeing how we had already exhausted all we could say and more importantly we had delicious ice cream to eat. To all of our surprise on the way back we came up to a man and a woman standing in the hallway next to one of the aforementioned ads. The man was taking a picture of his lady friend with the ad. Why would the woman want her picture with the ad though? Could it be they found it just as humorous as we did? The answer is no; she wanted the picture of her with the ad because she was indeed out on a date with the infamous star of the ad. What can I say some chicks must dig kimonos right?
