And Now, A Metro Shower Curtain
How much do you love Metro? Sure, you have every commemorative farecard, you’ve got both the Nationals SmarTrip AND the Barack Obama SmarTrip card. You even dressed up like a Metro pylon for Halloween. But, do you have the shower curtain yet? No shower is complete without the Metro Shower Curtain. It’s an easy $30 gift for that friend of yours that you once caught looking a little too intently and longingly at the station manager at Chinatown/Gallery Pl.
We’ve worked out a giveaway with the manufacturer, Izola Shower Curtains. Enter a comment, and include your email address in the form, and we’ll pick a winner at noon tomorrow.

hmmmmmm….what’s the best way to get from GW to AU? I know! I’ll check my shower curtain!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:00 am
And a SmarTrip bathmat to go with it?
November 18th, 2009 at 10:02 am
I’m always looking for ways to multitask – showering and trip planning, done!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:03 am
I think it’s awesome. I have a guest bathroom that that will be perfect for!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:03 am
Sweet shower curtain.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:03 am
Oooh, I’ve been hoping somebody would make one of these for DC!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:04 am
I always get lost in the shower…
November 18th, 2009 at 10:04 am
I am going to wrap myself in this shower curtain for Halloween next year. Who needs to be a metro stop when you can be the metro map?!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:04 am
Ironically, the Metro system is actually cleaner than my current shower curtain.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:05 am
Sooooo, this is so we can spend even more time looking at the Metro map half awake???
November 18th, 2009 at 10:06 am
Good for when a strange girl wakes up in your room, she won’t have to wake you up to leave.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:07 am
It’ll probably get creepy when there’s track work and a metro official walks in on you showering to update the map.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:08 am
Oh wow, and I thought my world map shower curtain was cool. this is awesome!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:08 am
OMG! I’ve been looking all over the place for one of these.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:09 am
major drainage clog at Metro Center!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:09 am
I dont think my shower is big enough to add the purple line
November 18th, 2009 at 10:09 am
I can still plan my trips even when my internet connection is down!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:11 am
Awesome gift idea for the new Congressional member or staffer–DC Metro is bigger than Union Station, Capitol South, and Eastern Market!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:12 am
love it!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:13 am
“Touched what?!? I was just showing you how to transfer at Gallery Place!”
November 18th, 2009 at 10:13 am
Now I can figure out alternative routes when the metro closes stations or has huge delays — all before eating breakfast!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:14 am
It’s a bit surprising that I don’t have this already.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:14 am
ooh, ooh, me, me!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:14 am
Where is my next adventure to in DC? :)
November 18th, 2009 at 10:16 am
Now that is what I call multitasking – planning my route to the bars while getting ready to go out to the bars all at once!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:19 am
This brings a whole new meaning to the Yellow Line.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:21 am
The only questions is whether I should point the map into the shower or out. Would it be more entertaining while shampooing or sitting on the pot?
November 18th, 2009 at 10:21 am
Let’s see…where is a train going to break down today? It’s like pin the tail on the fail!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:22 am
Finally caught up to NYC on this one. This would have been ideal for my old apartment, but I have a feeling it won’t fly in the master bathroom of the condo. We’re not on Metro anymore anyway :(
Maybe for my sons bathroom though — get learning early. Of course we’d have to get rid of the “So long and thanks for all the fish” curtain.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:24 am
Um, awesome! Just moved and have been considering shower curtain options. This definitely just made the short list.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:27 am
Is that the orange line or are you just happy to see me?
November 18th, 2009 at 10:33 am
Even better than the world map shower curtain!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:34 am
That’ll be perfect for my map-crazy kid’s bathroom.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:44 am
I will anticipate an additional 30 minutes of shower time.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:47 am
haha, that’s wonderful! Some extra zing for the bathroom.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:49 am
That’s pretty cool!
November 18th, 2009 at 10:54 am
I love this map! I have actually contemplated having it tattooed on myself.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:58 am
It should include the imaginary silver line.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:59 am
Ooh, does it come with a speaker reminding me that Metro “regrets the inconvenience”?
November 18th, 2009 at 11:01 am
This would go really well with my “In case of choking” bed spread.
November 18th, 2009 at 11:05 am
Neato! I’m in the market for a new shower curtain, & in the market for an oversized Metro map. Win!
November 18th, 2009 at 11:05 am
That is… incredibly awesome!
November 18th, 2009 at 11:08 am
Now if i slip and fall in the shower it will make 9. What poor taste
November 18th, 2009 at 11:25 am
I have the Metro app and now I can have the Metro curtain. All is right in the world. * sigh *
November 18th, 2009 at 11:25 am
i want it!
November 18th, 2009 at 11:40 am
That’s very sweet! I think I’ll buy one.
November 18th, 2009 at 11:55 am
Neat. If I win, I’ll look forward to washing from my Glenmont down to my Huntington.
November 18th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
well this is a good conversation piece. ;)
November 18th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
The costume killed me. Sign me up for teh contest plz!
November 18th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
this is perfect!! please please
November 18th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Ingenius!! Is there a “you are here” arrow too? Lol
November 18th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
“I have mildew on my showercurtain ! No wait, it’s just the Anacostia.”
November 18th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
But will looking at this in the morning make me as motion sick as manual braking?
November 18th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
This would be perfect for our out of town guests to be able to study.
November 18th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
excuse me, is that your “bag”?? WANT!
November 18th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
Great map
November 18th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
that’s great! who doesn’t need a metro map in their bathroom :)
November 18th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
What a great Christmas gift!
November 18th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Perfect for when I need to contemplate the miserable commute that awaits me while showering. This could be therapeutic.
November 18th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
I need this.
November 18th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
I agree, I’ll have to find a SmarTrip bathmat to go with!
November 18th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
I wonder if the shower curtain also contains updates on weekend track maintenance?
November 18th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
If this is truly a Metro Shower Curtain, it better be as inefficient as possible. I want holes in it. I want it to derail from the shower rings. And really, only $30??? Don’t use the WMATA name if you can’t live up to it…
November 18th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
sadly, only way the Metro will end up in georgetown…
November 18th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
This would be awesome to show to guests, it would make a great conversation piece!
November 18th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
That is so awesome!!! Would love to win!
November 18th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
Oh, how awesome is that! I would love it!
November 18th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
I really want the bus map version (but I’ll take this one if I win!)
November 18th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
This is the coolest! I’d love to win one!
November 18th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Awesome. My fiance would love it!
November 18th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
This a little excessive. Just up my alley!
November 18th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
Or, we could take the Green Line?
November 18th, 2009 at 7:07 pm
This is very cool, maybe if I had this I won’t get lost as easily…
November 18th, 2009 at 7:09 pm
Yes, please.
November 18th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
My roommate and I are obsessed with Metro. This would be perfect for our apartment.
November 18th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
Despite my love/hate relationship with wmata, that’s just nifty
November 18th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
I have a friend who is moving to the area soon, this would be the perfect house warming gift.
November 18th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
I literally gasped out loud when I saw this. So exciting!
November 18th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
Given that I spend at least a few minutes a day staring intensely at anything within eyesight (yeah, in that bathroom), owning this shower curtain will make me a walking metropedia. Yeah, give it to me.
November 19th, 2009 at 12:58 am
I took one of the sample metro maps they have available to visitors at the university admissions office just to display in my room. This would be way cooler…because I was so cool doing that before.
November 19th, 2009 at 2:08 am
This metro map will be a good go-between to help me decipher welovedc.com and greatergreaterwashington.com’s analyses of peak ridership comparisons between orange/blue and red lines, since I’m only familiar with the one line I use every day.
November 19th, 2009 at 8:32 am
Sweet, now I know what my roommate is getting for x-mas.
November 19th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
My roommates would hate me forever, but I’d love to shower behind this thing.
July 17th, 2010 at 7:38 pm
Awesome!! WMATA should be capitalizing on this stuff to raise more revenue.
