Collaborative Art Piece at Intimat Finale, stitched together from several camera pics. This was as of 0900, party continued until 1400 but I didn’t make it til the end.

EDIT: I found out the other night that the party kept going over the weekend. It was a good one, to be sure. Thanks to IntimÃ¤t for throwing this.

I found this a really interesting article. I was kind of ignorant of Andrew Jackson until, of all things, watching the TV show “House of Cards”. There is a scene where the main character is trying to arrange a corrupt deal with a native american leader, and the native guy refuses to have it happen with a picture of Jackson on the wall.

I learned a little bit from that and when I spend money, I call $20 bills “Indian killers”, which is a little bit cringey. I made a point one day pointing out to some boy scouts selling overpriced popcorn products outside a store for $20 to tell them that they needed to know about this guy, he was president but he wasn’t a good guy.

Informed by this article, I realize that it’s not subtle that that guy in the big white house in DC has Jackson’s picture hanging on the wall in his office.
