The day of our DC show, I met up with my cousin Mark Henneberger, and his daughter, Danielle, at a local tavern.
Much catching up and much tour chat. While in this Georgetown tavern, Jamie and Stacy came in for lunch, and a few minutes later, tour manager Charlie and dancer Christina showed up. Within a certain radius of our hotels, we're pretty much guaranteed to see other show folks when we go out for meals.
But I digress. Mark is ridiculously smart, and designs submarines for a living. He employs about 1000 people. And Danielle works at a splendid towering Cathedral, of which she was happy to give us a tour.
Absolutely gorgeous. They held a contest to Design A Gargoyle, so we saw some really strange ones, like the Darth Vader gargoyle, and the gas mask gargoyle.
She walked us through the grand and overwhelming main hall, and then took us to the contrasingly dumpy basement area.
Dani works in the Center for Global Justice and Reconciliation. They're currently working on eradicating Malaria, which seems like a pretty good idea.
Also, we saw the very spot in the cathedral where Hellen Keller and her companion are buried.
The stainglass windows were some of the most beautiful I've seen:
Strangely enough, in this traditional old-world cathedral, there were brand new flatscreen TVs on every column.
Dani and Mark were joined by their family at the show later that evening, and afterwards we stopped at the Tombs for the juiciest burgers in existence. I still dream about them.
