Raise your hand if you are headed to DC today or tomorrow
*raising hand*

Raise your hand if you intend to carry the flag for all the DUers who can't make it.

*raising hand*

Could someone please post in this thread the final place and time for the Gathering? Thanks. And thanks to bettyellen for taking over the planning. I ran out of time.

1. We're going to protest the coronation
The 19th to the 21st, but we will be watching C-SPAN tomorrow !
Are you going on the 20th ? Are we doing a DU thing ?

5. I'll be here.
Trying to figure out where the action is tomorrow though.

I stupidly made plans for tonight thinking people would go out afterward tomorrow evening.

Still, I'll be at the Capitol wherever we are to meet.

11. Not at the Capitol?
Edited on Wed Jan-05-05 09:56 AM by tasteblind
That's odd. Any reason for this? Or is it "Get out of Kerry's house!" ?

Thanks, at any rate.

Edit to note: Oh yeah, I suppose we will migrate in time for the electors to be counted at 1.

Nevermind.

7. I'll be here...
But there would appear to be a conspiracy afoot to keep me here in the office tomorrow. :tinfoilhat:

Okay, not really... But I'm not sure really how long I'll be able to get away. My plan however is to be on the Hill tomorrow.

9. Some of us from NJ will be there for rally at noon tomorrow!
I am driving from Princeton area with someone from North Jersey and we will meet up with others along the way. Look forward to meeting up with you all. Please settle on a spot today as we won't have web access tomorrow. Would be fun to meet all of you who have kept me hopeful through these excruciating weeks.

13. Flight was cancelled...
...due to weather.

I'm trying to change my flight to tomorrow--leaving at 5:30 am and arriving in DC at 10:30 am. I hope this isn't too late to attend the protest.

I'm on hold with Travelocity right now. They're being major arses.

22. Flying in now on the 6th...
...I'll be there, but my new flight gets in at 12:30--not as early as I'd hoped.

I'll have to take a cab straight to the protest.

Look for me: I'll be waving around a broom, because we need to do some cleaning up at the White House, in Congress, and especially in Ohio.

37. *raising hand* I think...
hoping my daughter is well tomorrow and goes to school so I can drive down to be in DC at 9:30. I'll need to be back by 3:15 to pick her up so I'll have to leave by 1:30 and listen on C-SPAN radio (90.1 FM in greater DC area)
