Mimefest, Washington DC

 

\ 

The Library of Congress is perhaps the most beautiful building in Washington DC, and it provides unquestionably the most opportunities (1) for forced public mimicry of nude, unrealistically muscular old men in strange acquatic settings. After performing your mime of choice, you should proceed directly to the Exploring the Early Americas exhibit, which features the controversial 1507 and 1516 world maps by Martin Waldseemüller. Bioephemera blogged on this topic far more eloquently back in March, but she has yet to appear on her blog performing any public mimicry of nude old men in strange acquatic settings. Let’s just call it a draw and move on.
