changing the world. brb.

after a whopping five nights back in my own bed, i'm hitting the road again tomorrow, this time heading to our nation's capitol for the next week or so. it's time for our annual lobbying trip on capitol hill, and it's all hands on deck down in dc.

*stand back! i'm about to let my nerd flag fly*

it's basically my favorite week of the year, as i get to play blogger-in-chief, documenting all the great things that happen when a couple dozen of our members roam the halls of the capitol, demanding that congress pay attention to some crucial issues. it's a crazy long week, full of 18 hour days and crappy hotel food, but it's also inspiring, exhilarating and satisfying like no other part of my job. 

i know, this post isn't quite as exciting as a instagramed photographic journey through austin for sxsw, but i daresay it's slightly more important. wonder if we'll encounter any surprise big boi concerts in dc?

so pardon the absence for the next week, as i'll be stormin' the hill with america's best and brightest. but for now, enjoy a small sample of my dozens of hipster iphone photos taken down in tejas.

fitz and the tantrums!
