When DCist swung by DC9 last weekend for the Rock Paper Scissors D.C. National Championship, we didn’t see The New York Times’ Jennifer 8. Lee up on stage facing off against her opponent. But in the NYT’s Sunday Styles section, Lee writes about her experience as a jumping off point to explore the world of Rock Paper Scissors. (In the teaser on the front of the section, it says “I join the cult.”)
My opponent and I faced each other across the white lines, separated by an arm’s length in the dark, smoky bar. He planted his feet firmly, shoulder-width apart, while I fell into a fighting stance, right foot forward a natural response from years of tae kwon do. The referee stood between us. The crowd looked on expectantly.
