Saturday Night - Pubcrawl the Capital Hill bars (Dubliner, Hawk and Dove, Tune Inn, etc.)
Sunday Night - rally participants travel to Georgetown to participate in DC's famous Halloween bash.
Monday - Hung over. Some participants return home.
Tuesday - Most participants travel back to their home states, planning to vote in the late afternoon. Complain that they were denied their right to vote because their connecting flight was delayed or they had to pick up their checked luggage and they couldn't get to their polling station in time.
