Just booked my hotel and flight for the DC protest, 9/24

[WilliamPitt]

Are you all set to come?

If you can't make it, can you spread the word in your community to let people know about it?

Cool.

See you there.

This is what PDA is doing all weekend there. You should try to come with us:

2. Booked my room last week

Still haven't figured out how I'm getting up there, but I'll be there no matter what.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

3. I'm driving in but still looking for afford housing. I can't wait!

Hope to meet you while in DC.

[abluelady]

14. Try Priceline.com

I understand from friends who have used it that it works well.

[MuseRider]

4. Can't be there but

there are a lot of Kansans who are going, at least quite a few that I have spoken with.

I have a contract so I will be playing the "Ode To Joy" that night for each and every one of you that you be successful and safe.

[King Coal]

5. Will, are you staying in the city?

I think my brother and SO are going. Where's a good place to stay?

[WilliamPitt]

11. I'm staying near Dupont Circle

There are a half zillion good hotels in DC. Do a Travelocity search based on location, i.e. near the capitol building, near the white house etc., and you'll find something. Quickly, tho. I think a lot of places will be full soon.

[King Coal]

15. Thanks a gazillion.

[GOPisEvil]

6. I'll see you there!

I'll be the one pissed off at Bush, you can't miss me.

[DancingBear]

7. We'll be there

Currently working with some members of Code Pink (Tuscon) trying to find them housing, etc.

We live about 90 minutes west of D.C. - in VA. If anyone needs info on housing, flights, etc. please PM me.

I'm also spreading the word to some "closer-in" D.C. friends -trying to set up a housing network for those who want to come but can't afford hotel rooms in D.C.

[ultraist]

8. I plan on going! Thanks for the info and reminder.

:kick:

[VelmaD]

9. I'm trying but it doesn't look good...

I'm not sure I can afford it and give to hurricane relief. I'm trying to figure it all out and I'll keep you posted. Cross your fingers for me that the universe aligns. If I make it you gonna buy me a round for my birthday (9/29)?

[mod mom]

10. I will be there whole-heartedly!

[Barack_America]

12. I'll go as long as you expand the scope of the march...

...while I am certainly against the war, I think that the issue that needs to be addressed is why our government placed issues, including the war, above the protection of its citizens.

The incompetence of this administration in general should be the focus. Homeland security, foreign policy, war planning, disaster planning...you name it, they've fucked it up.

[rocktivity]

13. I was on the fence until I heard about "9/11-Palooza"

I want to see it out-attended ten times over!

I was going to make a day trip out of the Saturday rally. But if I did that, I'd miss the concert and the DU after-party. And if I left work early enough, I could be in town in time for that other DU function on Friday night. I found a hotel a mile and half from Union Station, which is good because if gas prices get any higher, it will be cheaper to get there by train!

21. It is cheaper by train

Coming from NC and my ticket was $75 RT.

[Talismom]

16. I'll be there with a vengence! Planning poster right now!

P.S. I'm a big admirer of your writing--always looking for the next piece! Keep it coming, please!

[katinmn]

17. I've had my ticket for two months. Welcome aboard!

[meganmonkey]

18. See you there!

:woohoo:

[me b zola]

19. We've got the airline tickets, now we just need a room!

:hi:

[mnhtnbb]

20. Booked Aug 19th coming on Amtrak

And my hotel, booked, too.

[Autonomy]

22. Trying to make it!

I had a travel plan set up, but I suddenly had to move 100 miles away, so my plan is void. If anyone from central Delaware (Dover area) is going to DC and willing to take passengers, shoot me a private message. Thanks!

[DinahMoeHum]

23. Gettin' there by Amtrak on the Friday before . .

and on that Sunday, I'm headin' over for the Green Expo at the Convention Center.

I may stay another day Monday and head back Tuesday, IF, my DFA group is lobbying our Congressional rep.

:kick:

[Ellipsis]

24. Some communities are sponsoring bus tours.

Madison bus tour leaves the 23rd.

...I have to work, or I'd be on one.

[SeattleGirl]

25. Don't forget, there are concurrent protests in other cities.

I can't do DC, but am going to the one here in Seattle. My daughter is going with me, and I think my husband is going also. So, if you can't make it to DC, consider joining one where you live.
