Pictures

I just spent over 1/2 an hour trying to upload pictures from the last three months on to facebook with no luck. No DC pictures for you!

Okay, a couple.



ACT UP! Graffiti on the Berlin Wall, now preserved at the Newseum.



My pal, author Neil Gaimen reading from his new book way back in September.



A view of DC from atop the Washington Monument. You can almost see my building from there!



A great idea.



And because I can't find the brochure from the Alexandria walking tour, an explanation from Wikipedia:

In 1830, John Hollensbury's home in Alexandria, Virginia was one of two homes directly bordering an alleyway which received an annoying amount of horse-drawn wagon traffic and loiterers. To prevent people from using the alleyway, Hollensbury constructed a 7-foot (2.1 m) wide, 25-foot (7.6 m) deep, 325-square-foot (30.2 m2), two-story home using the existing brick walls of the adjacent homes for the sides of the new home. The brick walls of the Hollensbury Spite House living room have gouges from wagon-wheel hubs, and the house is still standing and occupied.
