I'd like to think that I'm a proud Canadian. We got a pretty good thing going here -- poutine and doctors are easily accessible so what more could you want in a country??
But then I think back to my days (all 3 of them) in Chicago. We took the Art Institute by storm and BTA'd it up all over the place there. Security merely looked on in bewilderment. But go ahead, lie down on the floor, wrap your body around a statue, balance on one leg and lean into a million dollar piece of art. Chicago didn't say NO. Then we take a trip to our nation's capital to celebrate our home and native land (ugh, did I really just write that?) on Canada Day. We are PUMPED to go the National Gallery to check out some art and more importantly BE some art.

So we were delighted to first see this Warhol in the Pop Life exhibit. Erin and I got right to it. And it's GOOD. Ok well whatever, my head isn't perfect and I needed glasses and a snooty glare (it's difficult for me to be snooty because I'm just so damn NICE.). As soon as we snapped that photo we got in trouble. IN TROUBLE. For BTAing!! Clearly that security guard did not know that Be That Art is Canada's Fastest Growing Game in the WORLD. We were told that photography is not allowed ANYWHERE in the National Gallery.
Time to take a trip to Pawnee and see if Tom Haverford is up for another green card marriage.
