That is really cool. I love that she was inspired by her love of kayaking around here and wanted to emphasize the connection between the shower and the DC waterways.

Fair. Our logo is pretty cool and translates well. I think it's part of the statehood movement too, though I like DC as it is (not a state). Its unique. I wonder if that shower has that wet penny smell?

I love it. I hate pennies, this is one of the only ways they should be used.
