A couple of days after my trek to The National Mall, I made another trek. This time to Bethesda, MD to Georgetown Cupcake with my friend, K. A mere 3.2 miles compared to the closer to 5 miles a few days before, I thought it would be a nice stroll. Little did we know that the sidewalks on route had barely been shoveled after the 2-3 feet of snow had fallen. We did not walk back to DC, thanks to K's hubby, but on the way home, we passed NBC4's Pat Collins. During the snow storm, he had been stationed in the same location interviewing passerbys, some of whom brought him treats. When I saw him standing on the sidewalk at the intersection of Connecticut Ave. and Fessenden St., I wanted to tell him how unhappy I was of the conditions of the sidewalks in the Chevy Chase area of Montgomery County, MD. I then thought I'd have a better chance of chatting with him if I gave him one of my 4 cupcakes from G'town Cupcake. So I carefully chose a cupcake (one that I would be the okay to not eat!) and approached Pat Collins. I gave him the cupcake, explained my trek, and he then asked his cameraman to set up the camera. Later that evening, on the 6:00 news, there was my cupcake! Then there I was, chatting with Pat Collins for my 15 seconds of fame!
what a cool story!
