The Distcos spent Wednesday evening with his kick-ass-ness the Prez, Mrs. Prez, Sidney Poitier, James Earl Jones, Katie Couric, and Kelsey Grammar. So, you know, just a typical Wednesday evening.
Ford's Theatre celebrated its reopening with a gala the likes of which our not-so-humble nation's humble little capital rarely sees.
Mr. Distco got to walk the red carpet behind George Lucas, waiting as Mr. Jar Jar held up traffic glamming it up for the paparazzi.
One highlight: Jeffrey Wright reading words of Lincoln. Now officially Mr. Distco's vote for most underrated actor.
Another highlight: Sidney Poitier handing off a torch of sorts to our trailblazing Commander in Chief.
One lowlight: The silly ginormous copy of the Gettysburg address given to Obama.
Final highlight: Dr. Stephen Ledbetter hosting the whole shindig. The episode of The Outer Limits with killer nanobots nearly led Mr. Distco to a career in biomedical engineering. Maybe the only counteracting force was the biomedical engineering professor at Mr. Distco's alma mater. Well, the biomedical engineering professor and her indecipherable English.
Dinner after the gala at the National Portrait Gallery was great. The new center courtyard area makes for quite an event space.
