I must consult with my master, Doctor Demming as I believe costumes are in order.
SOME costumes appear to have been present at the FIRST March, from

NOTES ON A PROTEST RALLY
By J. Peter Mulhern
-- snip --
...After spending the morning working to improve the hygiene of the Chesapeake Bay, I turned my attention to political hygiene. Specifically, I went to swell the crowd on the Mall at the March for Justice sponsored by FreeRepublic. My spell-checker has no idea what I'm talking about, but I'm confident that most of my readers are familiar with FreeRepublic.com and aware of yesterday's march.
Along with many of my fellow freepers (I'm a frequent lurker and occasional poster) I went to the Mall between noon and quarter past four to show support for removing the present occupants from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. I also went to be reassured that others feel as I do that Bill Clinton is a grievous insult to the nation I love, and to be inspired by the scheduled speakers. I got everything I bargained for.
The March for Justice was more stationary than its name suggests. It was more of a rally than a march. The first fact any competent report should provide is how many people were in attendance. No doubt some news reports will confidently state the number of attendees, but all my efforts at estimation failed miserably. I asked two Park Policemen for their estimate. One said a couple of thousand. The other said several thousand. Neither seemed very confident in his answer, and neither claimed to be an expert in crowd assessment. Perhaps I should adopt the Nation of Islam approach to crowd assessment and announce that there were at least a million freepers present at yesterday's march.
The protest gathered just west of the Washington Monument. Facing the stage, the Monument was to one's right and the reflecting pool was to one's left. The site, and the weather combined to show Washington at its best. The idyllic circumstances contributed to a cheerful, holiday atmosphere.
The March was serious business and, for the most part, everyone there took it seriously. But the tone was lightened somewhat by the man in the chicken suit with a Clinton mask, the basset hound in a T-shirt marked "IMPOOCHMENT," and other flashes of humor...

Best to take the Metro in from the Burbs. Will canvass the DC Chapter for hotel recommendations. Thanks, but no need to over do this...as I understand the advice, Fly into Reagan if you can, and stay in Alexandera-Mt Vernon area as shown on the priceline map...and Metro in to DC the day of the march. Correct?
Given the above info we can optmize our own hotels etc. Thank you.

Leslie Nielsen, if asked would probably suggest this:
The March for Justice II :
The March for Two Justices

Stay away from a rental car, if possible. Driving in downtown D.C. can be a nightmare for locals, not to mention visitors. When I visit DC a couple years ago .. we made the mistake of trying to drive in the downstown
Finally bagged it .. found a parking garage and just walked
It was way faster that way

LOL! :^D Just imagine my niece, who was with me when that pic was made (and who was the reason I donned that silly Halloween mask in the first place).
She was around 5 years old when that pic was taken. She's 27 now and has 2 littles ones of her own.
Maybe I will dig the pic of the two of us together and host and post it here later. She's wearing her Casper the Friendly Ghost costume!
