Yesterday Lauren and I went with SAIC alum Amber Hawk Swanson and her girlfriend Sam to the Sixth Floor Museum. Since I arrived in Dallas I have been kicking around the idea of going to the museum, but the $13.50 entrance fee really put me off. It just seemed really steep to visit a former book depository. But I came around when Amber and Sam expressed interest. If you have not heard of the Sixth Floor Museum then I should let you know that it is the location in which Lee Harvey Oswald shot John F. Kennedy. The museum was really worth the $13.50. As soon as you get out of the elevator it is sort of a whirlwind of information from JFK being elected to him being assassinated to conspiracy theories. It was a really intense. Being able to stand in the location where Oswald was was really hard to fathom.

There was an exhibition on the seventh floor of home movies that people had taken of that fateful day. In a smaller closed off room they played the Abraham Zapruder film which shows the entire assassination and was pretty graphic. I felt really overwhelmed when I left the museum from both the footage and just thinking about all of the theories that are out there.
