That sounds ridiculously awesome, if I lived near D.C. I'd definitely be there. I'm sure Kon-sensei's bereaved family would be proud to hear his works are showing in the Smithsonian like this.

Had I known about this earlier, or lived near D.C., I'd definitely attend.

:happytears: Yay! What an honor! Nice to know that the genius of Mr. Satoshi Kon is being recognized so highly by the Smithsonian Institute.
I'm so proud to be a D.C resident!! ^__^

Damn, I'm going to have to make sure that I'm in that particular area on Saturday! (and the Cherry Blossom Festival is around the corner as well.....)

The Freer Gallery at the Smithsonian shows a lot of awesome anime related stuff. A few years ago they had the east coast premier of Paprika along with a showing of Tokyo Godfathers and actually had Satoshi Kon there. When I still lived in Fairfax, VA they had like a whole month devoted to Tezuka where they showed all sorts of his works like Unico and Marine Express.
Being close to the Smithsonian was one of the better perks of living in Fairfax.

Gah, I really wish I would have known about this earlier, but alas, I am all the way in Wisconsin.
