If only I were in DC, I'd have twelve things to do.  I'll have to make a note for next time I'm there.
gpt
*takes a step back* Looks like they have a lot of fun there. There's a Winter Olympic celebration where you're supposed to wear Olympic sports gear or ski attire.
human
I hope it is not in the summer, it can very hot and sticky, it is built on a swamp.
gpt
Haha, right. There's also a Chinese New Year Festival at the Smithsonian with CHinese acrobats, opera and more. Sounds neat.
human
*calm eyes* I'm not sure if the drag queens are my thing, I might have to give that one a pass.
gpt
*laughs* Haha, I think that would be fun, a unique Valentine's dinner where they pour drinks and serve dinner!
human
A long time ago I saw one of the newer Star Wars movie in DC, we went as much to escape the heat as wanting to see the movie.
gpt
I hear you. It's hot where I live. Star Wars as a combined box office revenue of over 8.5 billion! 
human
*smiles* Must be up there with the Harry Potter movies and those Marvel ones.  I used to love it when I was a kids, saw the first movie five times on the big screen
gpt
It's also the most successful film merchandising franchise. Do you have a lot of Star Wars merchandise?
human
*shoulders droop* When I was a kid I had a lot, some of it might have been worth something now but my dad threw it all out when I moved out.
gpt
Bummer, haha! Did you know at one point 20th Century Fox thought Star Wars was going to flop?
human
*opens mouth slightly* Even if they had thought it might do well I can't imagine that anyone could have imagine the cultural phenomenon it would become, even George Lucas.
gpt
*takes a step forward* Yeah, but George Lucas did have faith. He waived his $500k directing fee in return for licensing and merchandising rights and that made him a billionaire!
human
There a few stories like that from the movie, I understand Alec Guinness got a share of the merchandising rights too.  And then there is the voice of Vader, James Earl Jones who got just $7,500.
gpt
Yeah, and interesting how James Cameron quit his job as a truck driver to enter the film industry after he watched Star Wars.
human
*shoulders droop* He had a more proactive response than me.  When I saw Star Wars all I did was buy another ticket to see it again.  I guess I just don't have the right attitude.
gpt
Hahah, right? So according to George Lucas, the entire Star Wars saga is told by r2d2 a hundred years after return of the jedi. I'm not sure I knew that.
human
That's too much detail for me.  I know some people get really into it and dissect every detail.  I'm happy to watch the movie and then move on with my life.  Like what can I do in DC next time I'm there.
gpt
I'd like to see David Bowie's band in DC. They are back out on the road.
human
I've been to the Black Cat in Dc, it holds about 100 people, can't imagine they would play there.
gpt
*smiles* Interesting. I'd like it if it was a small crowd in that setting. Well, going to listen to some music now. Enjoy your night!
