My flight out of Washington DC got moved from 5:45 to 7:30 to 7:50 pm, so here I am at the Dulles airport listening to the crazy reports about the shootings at Virginia Tech — not too far from where I am now –

Somehow I didn’t hear about this horrible news until the driver who brought me to the airport was like “you haven’t heard?” Apparently his son goes to school there –

Today’s reason for the flight delay: Wind! Crazy winds and general catastrophe have followed me here from LA….

The delay’ll have me officially spending an almost-full 24 hours in DC — It’s been a real whirlwind trip here. I’ve barely slept and my eyes feel funny —

Last night I arrived in DC late and then met David and Matthew of Environmental Working Group at Black Cat, which is like a bar, performance space, and vegan-friendly restaurant all connected into one establishment.

Smoosh performed. I felt old(er).

Then David took us on a driving tour –

So yesterday was a long day and today started early — Some stuff at EWG, then lunch. Tried to go to Busboys & Poets, but apparently they had some kitchen accident and had no warm food. So we went to this historical chili place but I’ve already forgotten the name. Yummy veggie chili, greasy fries –

First class is boarding now. I’m in “group 5,” so it’ll be a lil while. We’re looking at a 10:30 arrival in LA –
