1. I would like to go...

but I don't know if I'll be able to. It'll be my first weekend at OSU and I won't have a car. :cry:

Not that I'd ever use it that much, what with the free bus service and all... but being from the Motor City I just feel like it should be there, even if I don't have to use it...

So now, plan B... how do I get to D.C....?

2. Bus transport from OSU

Comments: We have reserved three buses from Columbus, Ohio for this trip please consider Columbus as your departure location! This fall mobilization could be very important!

I feel like I should go too, but I don't know how prudent it would be for me to take off now and have to pay my employee overtime, etc.

Too much going on in my life right now.

Right now I plan on leaving for DC from COL OH Friday evening Sept. 23 right after work. I have room for 2-3 people, if ya need a ride!

I found this post on another board:
Storm the Bastille!

...so it looks like the movement is picking up steam.
