3/29/2008 11:35:27 PM

oh shit i thought this thread was about terpball

3/29/2008 11:35:56 PM

they don't have to apologize for pearl harbor

the cherry blossoms are just a marker of the antagonistic and imperialistic relationship the US has always had with Japan

3/29/2008 11:35:59 PM

THAT SOUNDS LIKE THAT THAR BOOK-LERNIN'!

3/29/2008 11:42:43 PM

no books involved

huge projected power point running from a laptop to an Extron breakout box at the front of the house and all the way to the back of the auditorium running into a Kramer audio follow video switch which is also run through our soundboard from which we manage the wireless and podium mics and any audio clips

I learned all of this through doing it and direct instruction

I majored in literature and the book is dead

3/29/2008 11:46:34 PM

don't know what this is about but let me pad it

3/29/2008 11:50:32 PM

thanks

3/30/2008 7:43:04 AM

I went last night because these girls though the fireworks were going to be last night.

Turns out the fireworks are NEXT Saturday night. It was still really nice though - the waterfront across from the Jefferson Memorial was for lovers.

3/30/2008 7:49:50 AM

3/30/2008 7:58:20 AM

that's disgusting

Anyway, it's really nice at night

Trivia question-
What two movies does Ken Watanabe reference cherry blossoms?

3/30/2008 10:37:25 AM

^ Letters from Iwo Jima and Last Samurai

3/30/2008 11:01:02 AM

I was thinking of another movie besides Letters from Iwo Jima but that counts as well. I wonder if he mentions them every movie he is in?

3/30/2008 11:13:26 AM

4/5/2010 10:15:00 AM

I was there this weekend. What a clusterfuck of obese tourists and foreign families it was...

Holy shit, just crossing the street near the Mall was like the stampede scene from the Lion King.

4/5/2010 10:21:53 AM

this year is the worst ive seen it.

thanks for your money tourists, but thank god you are leaving.

4/5/2010 10:29:02 AM

4/5/2010 10:34:22 AM

The Scientologists were out in full force this past weekend, passing out copies if Dianetics and doing free "stress testing" on the Mall.

4/5/2010 10:55:08 AM

Went to this a couple of years ago. It was pretty nice.

4/5/2010 11:50:07 AM
