Rally – Day 1 (10/29/10)
Abby and I just arrived in DC. I’m getting the impression that the Rally to Restore Sanity is going to pull some big numbers. The flight was packed, and a good number of people around us were talking about Stewart and Colbert. It’s nice to be surrounded by like-minded individuals, even if some of them were too damn chatty. I’m not a plane-talker.
Our hotel picked us up from the Metro station…pretty nice service for what is pretty much a glorified motel. The driver, Suresh, seemed to think that the Rally would beat Glenn Beck’s event by a good margin. About 70% of the hotel is booked by Rally-goers, which beats Beck’s numbers, and the weather is perfect. It should be about 65 all weekend and clear skies.
Sounds like a great recipe for lots of sanity! For today, Abs and I are going to hunt down some lunch (Five Guys, right across the steert!) and then meet some her friends for dinner. She studied abroad in South Africa with these ladies, so this is a big reunion for her.
