After my partner and I performed our scene last night in the showcase (it went well, incidentally), I hung out outside the front doors of the building with all the smokers.

BANG!

So loud! I saw the windows in the building across the street shake. Was it a bomb? People on the street started walking and running west, away from the intersection of 38th and 8th, where smoke was pouring out of the ground. A police car raced down the street towards the commotion.

BANG!

This time, I was looking in the right direction. I saw something rectangular fly, maybe, twenty feet into the air. Too small to be a car; maybe some sort of grating. More people got into their cars and zipped west (the wrong way on the one-way street). The Mexican restaurant on the corner looked like it might be smoking. I had been planning to dine there Thursday.

The general consensus was that it had been transformers. "Damn Decepticons." Nobody got the joke. People came down out of the surrounding buildings, but none of the agents came down from the showcase. An actor told me that it was still going on! The smoke in the air made me sneeze.

The street filled up with firemen and policemen and flashing lights. One cop told us to stay out of the lobby in case there was another explosion and the glass shattered. But we couldn't leave the lobby: if an agent somehow came late (though the streets were blocked by police) we'd need to open the door to let them in.

Nothing else interesting happened.

I heard they were exploding manhole covers. Maybe a cover-up story? Who knows? But it happened quite a few times in DC when I lived there...
Funny story, they exploded in Georgetown, due to old wiring. When the DC subway system was expanded years ago, Georgetown residents lobbied to keep it out of their neighborhood; they didn't want the "riffraff" coming in. But the Metro expansion included updating of all the underground cables (like NYC, all utilities are underground). So as a result, they never got upgraded in Georgetown. Ha!
