Good night, good morning or good day

The best thing about this trip is that making a documentary is AWESOME! Not only do we get to travel and learn about something we are passionate about, stories, but we get to do so many neat things. For example, we had an interview at the Library of Congress in the Jefferson building. We were then taken into the ultra secret secured stacks- in the underbelly of the library. The Library of Congress has some books in the reading rooms that researchers are allowed to use, but generally they have to have in mind what books they want and ask for them to be brought out. We got a tour of the folklife section, where materials are kept. Ducking and breathing tight as the ceilings are low and the hallways small, Matt and I were blown away by all the books and the documents kept. It was cool to hear from Todd and Valda about all of the archiving that is done there. After the interview and tour we went and got our researchers cards, good for two years, to be able to research and go into the reading rooms there.
We met with Amy from SpeakeasyDC and interviewed her and will see a show hosted be SpeakeasyDC on Tuesday. She explained the difference between an open-mic storytelling and stand-up comedy. Stand-up comedians adopt a persona and work to make the laughs. The laughs are crucial and important. Storytelling may be funny, but the more real the person, the less persona they present on stage, the better the story. Laughs may come and go, but telling the story is more important.
We've also gone to the Spy Museum, Arlington National Cemetery and the National Archives to see the original Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Tomorrow we're heading to the Smithsonian to learn more about history. Matt and I keep taking turns being sick. I wasn't feeling well the last two days, Matt has a headache today. The temperature is hard to adjust to, with us traveling in and out of cold weather, muggy, rainy, etc.

Yea, this isn't a profound update or entry, but at least it is one. Goodnight, good morning or good day to you all.
