today cynicalscribe and i went on an adventure to see the cherry blossoms around dc, and lucky for us we managed to avoid the touristy crowds about 99% of the day! peep the photos up on my flickr — i really like how they turned out. depending on how the videos i took came out, maybe in a day or two or never those will be up online too.
