So we had a busy weekend this weekend because it was a weekend of celebration.
Friday we went to the US Air Guitar Championships with Ben and some friends. It was fun in some ways and not so fun in other ways. It was fun watching everyone play air guitar like crazed baboons, but it was not fun listening to all the judges & emcee's lame and stupid jokes.
Here are some example competitors:
It was an interesting evening to say the least. As you can see, the costumes were amazing.
Saturday we went to Harper's Ferry, West Virginia to see the sites and get away from the city a little bit. We had both frozen custard and shaved ice, which was great. It wasn't too hot thankfully.
Our favorite thing to see was the Civil War artillery demonstration, which you can see below.
We couldn't believe how LOUD the cannon was. To be in a battle with 80 of them plus musket and other small arms fire would be terrifying. I can understand why Henry Fleming ran off at first.
Here are a couple other pictures.
