So I'm going to Washington, D.C. tonight for an interview tomorrow.
Rather inconveniently, there is something else of some modest import going on in Washington, D.C. tomorrow...
This is has the potential to seriously suck.

[Bush is being inaugurated and there will be protests for those who are not Lightning.]
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

Oh dear. Talk about bad timing.
Are you going anywhere near downtown DC? If not, then you might be ok.
Solitude sometimes speaks to you, and you should listen.

ohhh...I don't envy you. If you aren't staying in a hotel within walking distance, make sure to take plenty of extra time getting to your interview. All sorts of roads in the area are supposed to be shut down.

you should definately wear black...i know alot of people who are wearing black (mourning) and it wouldn't be obvious to your future employer...
there are alot of great ideas floating around..i personally am not going to buy anything tomorrow...i know that's impossible while on a trip, but at least i'll be doing something as i'm not able to get to DC for the protests...
as for getting around....i'm sorry guy!

And ice there will be...It's snowing majorly in DC right now, and the inauguration events are being very poorly attended because of it.
Maybe there's hope for you yet, Lightning.

On the contrary, Flashy Firey one. I never made it. Mechanical failure on the aircraft. I'm still in Michigan and the interview's canceled.
Program wasn't that important to me, anyway. -Mike

oh yeah sure - "mechanical failure"
you know it was really a government plot to keep yet another potential protester and pro-same-sex marrage advocate out of DC.
