Just to get a somewhat vague headcount - who is going to be in DC...

[LynneSin]

..for the big protest on Sept 24th. Just check in here and let us know

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

1. Well, I live here.

I ain't got no choice!

[LynneSin]

3. Yes, but will you be joining us

Not taking a census of DC Metropolitian area here!

:D

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

8. Hopefully yes, and hopefully no.

It all depends on my job situation. If I get this job I've interviewed for, I wouldn't be able to (in fact, I'd have to end all political involvement on DU).

If not, then I'll be there.

[LynneSin]

9. well, you could show up and just give us a fake name

:D

[Mutley]

2. me!

:hi:

[WCGreen]

4. I am going to try my hardest.....

If the health holdsup,,,,

I;ll be there

[JimmyJazz]

5. Moi!

:hi:

[LynneSin]

6. I'm sorry - did someone post here? Or was it a figment of my imagination

:shrug:

[In Truth We Trust]

7. I'd like to! By hook or by crook I'll try to manage to get there.

[terrya]

10. I'm going to try. I want to.

I may not be able to fly out there. But I still have loads of vacation time available. I might take some extra days and take the train to DC. :-)

[texanwitch]

11. I am.

Booked me a room, now all I need is a cheap airline ticket.

I am getting excited.

[LynneSin]

15. Try these websites!

http://www.kayak.com
http://www.sidestep.com

They aren't airline websites but instead searches all the airline websites including some of the smaller ones to find you the best price out there. ANd their prices usually include all the airports in the area.

YOu'll want to fly into either Baltimore-Washington (BWI) or Washingotn National (DCA - some refer to it as an idiot's name, I think you have one like that in Houston too).

Good luck!

[texanwitch]

16. Many thanks for the information.

:hi:

I am looking forward to meeting everybody.


What is the weather like in Washington at the end of September, the only other time I was there was for the big protest march in January 2002 and it was 20 degrees during the day. Should I pack a jacket?

[LynneSin]

17. Well, I got sunburned at the Oct 2002 protest

and it started out cold that morning.

Protest clothing I would recommend - jacket, sweatshirt and tee-shirt underneath. More than likely, late September will still be warm.

Where's your hotel? - PM me :D

[kitkatrose]

12. I'd better be, I live there.

:D

[SarahB]

13. Pat and I talked tentatively about going together.

We both work a lot of weekends and have coordinating to do with kids, jobs, school, etc. so we won't know for sure until early September. :(

[Beware the Beast Man]

14. Well, since I'm currently jobless, I'm out.

:(

[JimmyJazz]

19. I can fit you in my suitcase!

:)

[GOPisEvil]

18. Moi!

[toey]

20. I'm so gonna be there

I can't wait. I still have a couple seats in my car if anyone in the Indianapolis area is interested :)

[bicentennial_baby]

21. I would if i could, but

I don't think i can get down there...sigh. x(

[LynneSin]

23. Try these websites for transportation to the protest

THis is going to be such an important event that everyone who can make it in that day should try so, even if you can't stay the weekend. Be there for the protest!

[bicentennial_baby]

25. Thanks Lynne...

I'll also see if any of my Masshole homies are driving down, maybe we can carpool :)

[madinmaryland]

22. I have a company picnic

that afternoon that the family wants to go to. Its the first one and I should probably be there. Is there anything going on later or on sunday?

[LynneSin]

24. We have stuff going on both Friday and Saturday night

check my link out below for more details. I'm expecting that we should be at RFD's around 7pm
