Chief Washakie and John share a remarkably similar life story if you ignore virtually everything about John’s life story.

Knowing William Tecumseh Sherman, I'm sure he would have appreciated this mime almost as much as the monument itself.

Thomas Jefferson would have really appreciated this.

That Thomas Jefferson was the third U.S. President, first U.S. Secretary of State, principle author of the Declaration of Independence, a horticulturist, architect, archaeologist, paleontologist, musician, inventor, and founder of the University of Virginia all seems sort of trivial when you consider how incredibly awesome I am at miming his statue.

Ian is in the band, Deville. He also looks like this statue of Caeser, which gained considerable poularity after Laura mimed it in Caesar’s Palace. There is pretty much nothing else about Ian that I would like you to know at this point.

I’ve really been into user-generated content lately, so I was extremely pleased when Laura sent me this mime from Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. Three stars for the mime and another half star for navigating the Vegas crowds to find a piece of historical art.
