NASA at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival

Editor's note: I just got back from a visit to the Smithsonian's Folklife Festival on the National Mall in downtown Washington, DC. The featured participants are NASA, Bhutan, and Texas. NASA has managed to cover a rather impressive amount of territory - both physical and topical - and the tents were already filled with people on this first day of operation. No doubt, as the 4th of July approaches and tourists flock to DC, this attendance will become even more impressive.

FWIW I will be speaking on 3 July t 2:15 pm about "new media". I am not exactly sure who I will be sharing the stage with.

Oh yes, by all means skip the Texas food tents and try the Bhutanese food. Yum.
