A Congress of Art at the Congressional Art Show
March 11, 2009
For three weeks of the year, the walls of the Bent corridor (which I totally thought was just a descriptor, not the name of two illustrious alumni, up until last week) are graced with beautiful local artwork from students from the 9th Congressional District.

I'm keeping the coat, of course. There's a lot of life there.
