National Book Festival Weekend Here in DC...

oh, and oh yea, it's also the weekend of the protest here in DC.

welcome back kids! nothing like juxtaposing a war protester right next to a person in a "clifford the big red dog" costume. the cindy sherman led, traveling circus that is protesting the war picked a fine weekend to come an march on the capitol. ...that is, they would have, except that they didn't know that there was an IMF/World Bank protest this weekend too.... oh, and the president's sponsored book festival that is taking over the national mall as we speak. good times man, good times. thank goodness the book festival gala was last night. : ) among other dignitaries and heads of state, the evening was well attended by most of the presidents cabinet, and various luminaries from all walks of the literary world. from tom wolfe to dikembe mutombo, if to be seen was what you wanted, you needed a pass to get into the library of congress. needless to say, thanks to the fact that i now am the number one 'on staff' photographer for DC magazine, (a modern luxury publication) www.modernluxury.com some of us commoners got in. enjoy...
