I'm in Ottawa right now. It's 10:15, I'm in a cafe. There is a bar downstairs that is already packed and shit but mostly there is an insane amount of bass. Like this joint is shaking. There are police dressed in their blue with green side packs hanging off their belt, looks like riot gear to me. There are flags stuck to people's heads umbrella hats- the like and soldiers bleeding off a man's Canada t-shirt, I wish I brought my 3d glasses. I am surrounded by an active expression of nationalism and there's a man with his family trying to talk business travel with me. It's like this city has become some sort of religious pilgrimage and from the further you've come, the more righteous you just might be. Sadly enough, I have no flag to bathe myself in.
Something tells me DC isn't quite like this, all the people that live there are just a little too poor.
