Glass in the Wild (Washington, DC)

So I finally got over my reservations of wearing Glass out and around Washington, DC.

I jumped on the Metro and decided to take a little trip to the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Renwick Gallery:

As expected, there were a number of strange looks and the occasional teenage tourist obnoxiously yelling out, "hey, don't take my picture!" Most museum staff just looked at me curiously from a distance- a few of them mentioned it was the first time they had ever seen Glass.

I rather like the Washington Monument with all the scaffolding.

It was nice to just walk, basically soaking in the sun and DC without having to pull out or glance at my phone. If I wanted to know what time it was, I just gave my head a quick nod. Having Glass on was strangely freeing. It was nice to just snap a few photos with ease and minimal disruption.

Feeling rather good about the entire experience, I decided on an encore outing and donned Glass out to a local mall- bad idea. Everyone and their mother was yelling and asking to try my Glass- just non-stop harassment.  I get that Glass is a bit odd and still extremely new, but I am certainly not digging the unsolicited intrusion into my space.

So how are other Glass explorers dealing with this kind of unwanted attention?
