Who is marching in LA on the 24th

[tamtam]

I decided to go to LA instead of DC to march on the 24th. I was just wondering how many of you are going to be in LA on the 24th?

[ronnykmarshall]

1. Me!!

I'm wondering where I'm gonna either park or how to get there.

[JDPriestly]

24. Check the metro schedules.

You might be best off parking near a metro stop and taking the train in. Where is the demonstration starting point? If it is near a metro station, I advise you to take the train.

26. here is info from the ANSWER website

The march starts at Olympic and Broadway and ends with a rally at Temple and Spring at the downtown Federal Building.

There is a Metro Red Line subway stop at Pershing Square. Walk 5 blocks south and 1 block east to get to the march start. After the rally, get on the subway at either Union Station or 1st and Hill.

I was told there was going to be a demonstration in San Diego also. Maybe we can all meet up in L.A.

[Beaverhausen]

6. thanks and duh!!!

I posted this same link for the thread on Bush's visit next week.

Yes...we should definitely plan to meet with other Duers after the event!!!

4. If I cant afford to go to DC, I'll definately be at the LA one!

[Carla in Ca]

8. My husband and I are going

So is Code Pink OC. Their opinion is it is better to have a lot of people at fewer protests, more impact.
Can we coordinate a sign or a color to recognize each other?

[tamtam]

11. That sounds like a good idea

What do you suggest? I would really like to meet up with DU'ers while I'm there.

[Carla in Ca]

12. Probably the best thing to do is

have a DU bumper sticker on all our signs. Do you have one?

[Beaverhausen]

14. I have one but we can just write it on signs as well

so we can find each other.

We should also pick a bar or some venue to hang out afterwards. Who knows that area?

I will have an 8 year old with me.

[ronnykmarshall]

15. I'll have this sign

The back of the sign has two DU bumperstickers on it.

[Kerrytravelers]

9. I'll be there with SESW

Students and Educatirs to Stop the War. One of us will be speaking (it might be me... don't know yet... just saying)

Everyone is welcomed to join together and we can all merch together a bit and meet one another!

Hi Ronny! :loveya: :hi:

[ronnykmarshall]

37. Be on the lookout for my sign.

I look for you too. I think we are going to park at Pershing SQ.

[Tiggeroshii]

10. That sounds like fun n/t

[rumpel]

13. I did not know there was a march in LA. I'll probably be there.

[puerco-bellies]

16. I'll be there.

Meet up where?

[Beaverhausen]

18. We have to figure out where to meet

I don't know that area at all.

anyone have any ideas???

[puerco-bellies]

19. Afterwards or before meet at the Biltmore Hotel Lounge

We'll turn it into the DU lounge west.

[Beaverhausen]

20. Is that near where the rally ends?

If so then great! We have a spot!

Will they let a bunch of commie hippie anti-war freaks in though?

[Carla in Ca]

25. The Biltmore is a good idea

Does anybody know the route of the march? We should try to meet before it starts.

[jjmalonejr]

17. I'll be there.

I'm takin' the Metro!

[Beaverhausen]

21. kick

[ronnykmarshall]

38. I am such a ding bat!

I found the PERFECT way to get there.

Hollywood/Vine Redline station has a parking lot.

SHEESH! I love it! I love taking the train!!

[xxqqqzme]

22. me

and a bunch of other :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: s
on a bus from Orange County.

[Beaverhausen]

23. Great!!! We have to find a place to meet after the march

still looking for ideas. I don't know the area well at all.

[OC_Lars]

27. I'll be there with bells on

I managed to get most of my lazy, non-activist friends to commit to going too.

[SouthPasadenaDem]

28. I'll be there

and drinkies at the Biltmore afterward would be lots of fun. Or maybe margaritas on Olivera Street would be closer to the ending point of the march (I assume the march will end up at City Hall/civic center or thereabouts?)

[Beaverhausen]

29. see post #26- it's ending at the Federal Building

Is that near Olivera Street? I don't know downtown at all I'm ashamed to say.

[SouthPasadenaDem]

33. Yeah, Olivera St. is basically on the North side of the

Hollywood Freeway (between Main and Alameda) and the Federal building is on the South side of the Hollywood Freeway (between Main and Los Angeles streets.)

Olivera street is probably a closer walk from the end of the rally than is the Biltmore, but the Biltmore is right next to the Pershing Square Red Line stop, so either one is reasonably close.

[Beaverhausen]

30. Monday kick

lets figure out where to meet!!!
