Check in here if you're NOT going to DC

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

If I still lived in Pittsburgh I could hop in the car and go, but it's a little more challenging to get there from Dallas. Besides, my husband is working on an application for a major research award which is due October 1st and wants me here for moral support. SIGH. I'll be looking forlornly through the window at all the kids outside having fun!

1. Alas....I'm not going...it breaks my heart too...nt

[KitchenWitch]

2. I cannot be there

Kids are in school etc.

[FuzzySlippers]

3. Checking in.

:hi:

4. Why not check to see if there are local protests in Dallas

I'm sad that you're not going :cry: but maybe Dallas is hosting some local protests.

But we will have computer access in DC and hope to have posts & pictures as soon as feasibly possible

We'll miss you and all the other DUers not there. For everyone of us who makes it to DC we're representing several 100 who wish they could be there!

5. I'll do that.

I think Bullwinkle925 (my sister) is looking for SF protests. We had wanted to go to DC together, but life trudges on.

[LynneSin]

6. SF and LA are both having protests

I think that was mentioned on the UPJ page. Usually there are always protests on the West Coast when DC/NYC is having them on the East Coast and they get great turnout too!

7. Not a member of the cool kids club ...

.. so nope, I'm not gonna be there.

[LynneSin]

8. Oh don't be sillly you're probably cooler than me

:D

[progmom]

13. aw - come on.

[tyedyeto]

9. I won't be able to go

Working all weekend. Grrrrrr

10. ME Also

I was going to but high gas prices killed me-----damn

[LynneSin]

11. Why don't you see if there is a bus group coming from your area?

Many of the East Coast major cities have buses heading in for the protest. If I wasn't going for the weekend I know I'd be on our peace bus out of Northern Delaware. They're such great trips to take!

12. I Did and I was going

but it was chargin like $100 each and I had all this money set aside for it and then Katrina hit and gas jumped up to like 3.49 over here and all that extra money I had saved for the trip I had to use on gas.

[Beware the Beast Man]

14. Not going, for several reasons:

1. Gas is too expensive.
2. It's my anniversary weekend.
3. I'm low on funds.
4. Lynne Sin does not find me yummy on the grounds of my contempt for a particular seminal British rock band of the 70's.

15. I'm not.

I can't afford it right now.
Maybe someday.
