ROBOTS INVADE Washington, D.C.!

Kcjapan2 The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. has a really cool Japanese culture and hyper-culture arts festival going on through 2/17/2008, and if you get the chance, check out their website and look at some of the shows and exhibits they have! Some of the shows are even free!

The coolest part of it all is the robots they have there! Asimo, a Honda designed robot that can walk on it's own is there, as well as robots that can play the trumpet, humanoids that can carry on conversations, even robot seals (They oddly cute, and they purr!)!

Kcjapan1 The art exhibits are out of this world, too! They have anime and manga displays, modern hyper-culture art exhibits, and all sorts of other neat shows (Japanese Opera, Robotics Lectures, There's something for everyone!).


It's a huge benefit that we live so close to cultural resources such as the Kennedy Center, and arts festivals like the current Japan! festival make a great way to spend an afternoon with the family gaining an appreciation for international art and performance. If you get the time between now and the end of the festival, you'll be glad you got the chance to see it!

That sounds really fun... I am close to San Francisco and somehow rarely take advantage of the museums... I'm going to have to change that!  I still haven't even checked out the new Asian Art Museum (no longer all that new).

Chris-  I feel guilty that I don't get out to the museums in DC as often as I would like myself!  I like your signature, how did you come about that image?

I can play around on the internet all day if I let myself!  Have fun!
