That was when I took my kids out of school for a day and led a Freeper convoy from Lexington, MA (first shot of the Revolutionary War) all the way to Washington D.C. where we stayed at the Hotel Excelsior. The event took place the next day (Saturday) which was also Halloween. We met Matt Drudge in person as well as other notables. Jim Robinson was there in person as well.
It was a very warm day for that time of year and afterwards, my family and I walked around the reflecting pool and saw the sunset form the Lincoln Memorial. The kids were a little bummed they missed Halloween but before driving home on Sunday, we let them buy about 10 pounds of candy at the CVS (which was marked down considerably).
Class of 98 here. It’s been a long, long time. Lurked first for much of that year and then joined. So infinitely glad I did; it was my haven for like minded people. Seems like yesterday, but it isn’t LOL. I’m a whole lot older, but like a vintage wine we have all aged gracefully. Here’s to fond memories.
