Sting!
Sting was the last to perform! At this point we were about 6 rows back
James Cameron and his wife
Me and Maddie in the crowd while some musicians played. We pushed our way up to the front so we were really close!

Maddie and I went to the Mall for a huge Climate Rally. 2 people there were dressed up as those creatures from the movie "Avatar"
Funny story: Kris Allen, the reigning American Idol champion, was on campus (yes, the guy from the poster I got)! He was there to talk to one of the high schools nearby about his trip to Haiti. If you know anything about me, you know that I love American Idol, so I went up to him and told him how big of a fan I am and asked for a picture with him. Somehow I was the only person who went up to him/knew who he was/knew he was on campus, but it was still pretty cool! And I had just gotten out of class, so I still had my backpack on. I also posted links to some of his songs at the bottom of this blog. "Let It Be" is a great performance-I would definitely recommend watching at least that one.
Colin, Leah and I went to a DC United Soccer game. Unfortunately, we bought our tickets at the game and we didn't want to spend a lot of money, so we got stuck in a really high section. It was also really windy that day, and Colin and I are scared of heights, so we were freaking out. Then we left at half-time (or whatever it's called in soccer).
I went to a record store one day with Leah and Colin, and they were giving away a ton of free posters, so I grabbed this one with 4 album covers from people
from American Idol. Try to remember the guy in the top left corner...
We went out to dinner for Maddie's birthday, so here's
Me, Maddie, and Becca posing in a Metro station.

Leah and I posing in front of the Maryland statue at one of the monuments (I forget the name right now). This was during the Cherry Blossom Festival at the beginning of April. The trees were beautiful, but there were SO MANY TOURISTS. It was so crowded. Plus I was sick and it was really hot out, so wasn't my favorite day ever.
