So you got an invite to go bowling at the Whitehouse. Living in Washington D.C. , you can easily network with people with access to many exclusive events. You can bring wine, beer, pizza and party food into the Whitehouse complex as well. Before getting in to the Whitehouse complex, you will have to submit to a security check weeks ahead. Surprised they let me in with my political views and battles with government. At the day of entry, you will have to go through two Secret Service checkpoints where they look you over and X-ray and search any bags you are bringing in. Make sure to have a few forms of identification. A few people were turned away for not having proper identification. U.S. citizens will receive green badges and foreign nationals receive a pink badge.
We were not supposed to drink on the bowling alley floor, but we did and I spilled some wine on the pea green carpet by accident leaving my mark. One lane was broken like government. Was surprised how you could just roam around the grounds without an escort, but sure they kept a close eye on everyone.
The Indian Treaty room was the most expensive room to design and build at the Whitehouse complex with lots of weird esoteric art and greek keys. First thing I noticed was an angel in each corner of the Indian Treaty Room (pictures below). One angel held a scroll or plaque. On the plaque was imagery of the Western and Eastern Hemisphere. The sun / light was over the Western Hemisphere with the moon / darkness over the Eastern Hemisphere. An olive leaf for peace below the Western Hemisphere and a Snake reaching out for war below the Eastern Hemisphere with both elements emanating from a triangle (order / balance). At the top of the scroll was a masonic compass with an unknown symbol above it.

really cool did not know you could go that "easily" inside. Would've liked to see more pics on the esoteric symbols
OMG I can not believe that you were there inside, it must have been very exciting, the truth has always given me curiosity to know what the white house would look like inside ... but if we have only seen it in movies haha I guess it was a great experience. I loved your photos
