My wife and I are local...any gatherings on Saturday open to Freepers who couldn’t afford this year to attend?

[wxgesr]

I do not know, I am riding AMCRAP to D.C. tomorrow. Best of luck to all of us.
I am considering packing a gas mask.

Hi there! We are in a hotel near Capitol Hill.
I want to come over tonight to register and say hello. Where would I go and who do I see?

[MinuteGal]

Our co-chairs have just pulled into DC after road trips from their state. I'm sure they'll be answering your questions ASAP. Hang in there!

Your best bet unfortunately will be to grab a cab. The Metro Rail which we will be using to get there will take about 45 minutes. We are leaving the hotel at 5pm to arrive at Walter Reed by 6pm.

The Walter Reed Freep is from 6pm to 7:30pm when we start to return to the Sheraton for our 9/11 Candlelight vigil.

I’m afraid with the time you are arriving you will miss most of the Walter Reed Freep.

That is my best advice.

Thanks, that’s what I needed to know. I wasn’t sure how long you’d be out there. If we get in on time, we might still make it, we’ll see. Otherwise, we’ll meet up with everybody back at the hotel.
Looking forward to meeting everybody.

Is this the live thread? I sure hope I can find it, I want to see pix and read accounts of this Historic Event.

Wish I could be there but my father in law is having surgery and we need to be with them.

I’m certainly with our FReepers in spirit though!

LET’S ROLL!!!!!!!!

[MinuteGal]

This is da live thread! Freepers who are at the Sheraton probably will be posting here tonight and tomorrow as the spirit moves then. At least I hope they will to let us know the feel and excitement of DC and inside our Sheraton Convention on this historic weekend!

You have freepmail.

Leni

[prairiebreeze]

[MinuteGal]
