12. Yes, Hawk and Dove. Funnily, we were upstairs...
and couldn't get wireless. They chased us downstairs at 10 p.m. so they could open the nightclub and when we came down to this room we had wireless, so Evlbstrd set up his Powerbook, and here we are.

33. Oh, you guys are SO missing out!
Hello from DC, and here's to marching on the capitol! All of you who didn't make it to the DU DC meetup are missing out! We're having a beautiful time, and the company is fantastic! I'm so thankful to gratefultobelib for sponsoring my trip. Thank you so much, and I will meet you and give you a great big hug someday! I saw the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, and the Lincoln Monument, along with the Capitol Building from the bus on the way in. I'm going to get footage of them tomorrow, and footage of the march, too. As soon as I get it edited into something viewable, I'll post it for you guys. I love you all and wish you could be here! You just don't know what you're missing!

40. I just hope evl knows where his cap is
It's part of his evlnss. Make sure he doesn't lose it. If you can, keep the KC crowd drowning in Guinness. It is our local DU tradition to keep them inebriated.

I wish I were there. I miss you guys. Let me know when there are photos.
