do u txt ?

I’m new to texting, and have a pretty disorganized contact list. In hindsight, I should have created some sort of “group” to send all the messages to, but in reality I scrolled through my contacts and selected some each time I sent something out. So, if you’d like to use your imagination and think back to Tuesday, here’s a transcript of my text traffic:

7:27 Welcome to DC!

9:19 Inauguration Update: If you are still in transit to the Mall, we suggest you head west of 14th Street. Thanks for participating in this historic day.
9:25 On the Mall since 630. Standing in the exaat same place. Snipers have appeard on all bldg roofs.
