We started this blog to communicate with our family and friends who don't live near us about our daily lives in our nation's capital. I think most would agree, that we are in a unique city with a lifeblood of politics. That makes certain activities around here seem weird.
A good example of the DC's political focus and quirky nature shines through during the elections. While most people beyond the beltway are barely registering the conventions we are monitoring it with CIA-like scrutiny. For example, the Washingtonian, a magazine for DC locals, has posted where you can go around the city to watch Obama's acceptance speech this evening. Yes, socializing centers around a political event such as a speech. I mean really, if I weren't in this industry and of course, without the entire history making portion of it all, this would rank #1 as B-O-R-I-N-G. If you want to know what trumps that, people do the same thing every year during the State of the Union.
All I can say to conclude is that we must have converted over to the DC side because in true DC style we are hosting a few friends over to watch the speech.

Being a fellow DC politics junkie, I can say with certainty that last night's speech was the best acceptance speech I've seen ever. Better than Gore's (ugh, the kiss) and better than Kerry's, by a mile. Wish I could've been at your place last night, sorry I couldn't make it.
