A lovely autumn weekend spent in Philadelphia... I road tripped with a few girls in DC (who moved here from LA). We decided to pack the car and head for Philly to hang with some of our friends up there. We used a wine and cheese event as the excuse.

An interesting little story from Friday night to prove how small the world is, a couple of the guys wondered off and met some strangers at Wawa's (convenient store in Philly) and decided to join them at a party. There were some interesting illegal things going on at this party which the boys wanted nothing to do with. However, in the middle of all of this, they met a girl who interned in Washington over the summer. Turned out this girl was Turkish and worked in Rep. Weldon's office who refused to meet with our ANCA interns from his district because they were Armenian. This girl blocked all our faxes, letters, e-mails, etc. in that office from getting to Weldon and advised the office not to deal with Armenians. In fact, earlier that evening, we had done a letter signing campaign to Weldon's office asking for support on Armenian issues... only to run into the source of the problem later that night. What a small world.

We partied the rest of the weekend, got back Sunday only to watch the Redskins loose the 3rd game in a row. Not pretty. They were a mess and Ramsey (QB) might be out of the game for a while due to injuries... another year of Redskins misery. Even worse, Cowboys are leading the division... Raffi I can now relate to your sports depression.
