If it's the 4th of July, then it's Folklife Festival time in DC. The festival is an annual event that spotlights folklife from three venues: A state, a country, and a science-based idea or organization. This year the three are:

1) Texas: A Celebration of Music, Food, and Wine

2) Bhutan: Land of the Thunder Dragon

and 3) NASA: 50 Years and Beyond

This year's a real mixed bag, I share some photos to follow and some thoughts, but in a word or phrase here's the shorthand review of the exhibits. Texas: LAME! Bhutan: ROCKS! NASA: A Science Geeks' Paradise!

If you live in the DC area and want a fun stay-cation, come to the National Mall by the 6th of July.
