Restore Sanity or Keep Fear Alive

[feuervogel]

Ben and I are going up to DC for the Stewart/Colbert wossname. The current plan is to drive up Friday, stay with my sister, go to town Saturday, and do Something Familial on Sunday Mom wants to try this another time, since her family's busy, then drive home.

If you're going, drop me a comment. Maybe we can meet up! My sister is going to a party Saturday evening, so we'll be on our own.

If at all possible, I want to go to Teaism, because YUM.

I'll be there. Unfortunately, I left my Founding Fathers duds back in Jersey, so I'll be hard to spot. ;)

That would be pretty recognizable, yes! I may or may not be wearing the "Communists have no class" t-shirt, depending on if I buy it or not.

Where are you staying? Or are you making it a day trip?

I'll PM you my cell number.

Sadly, I'm more likely to be in jeans and a t-shirt. But cell phoneage will likely make connecting simple.

Right now, we know that we'll be staying the night before and probably after with friends - as yet, we're not sure which friends precisely. There is some debate.

Cell phones make life so much easier. Remember the days when you had to do crazy shit like plan in advance where and when you'd meet people?

http://www.teaism.com/Restaurant/PennQuarter7.html is open until 9 pm. I am pleased. (Tea! Food! Cookies!)

God I'm so jealous. Especially because I could have gone, since I'm from the DC area and then we could have met and omg. I really want to be there. ;_; Why do all the fun things only happen when I'm out of the country?

I think I'm going! Staying with a friend of mine, if so. I'll send you my #.

Am thinking dinner/late lunch at Teaism @Penn Quarter. (Link further down in comments.) They have delectable food and a lot of tea. (dur) Lots of Japanese-fusion food - bento, ochazuke, tofu...

So you guys are going up on Friday and coming back on Saturday?

If so, then we're interested in carpooling. We've been having trouble finding people who aren't giving the whole weekend to it (as we kind of need to get back so Geneva can do school work and I can beat up small children for candy in a mask).

I'd like to come back on Sunday, but since we're not doing family stuff, we could leave in the morning instead. I'm hoping to be able to see folks in DC and do stuff there in the evening Saturday.

From what I can tell, the rallies are 12-3, which gives a reasonable amount of time to find people and food, then get a reasonable night's sleep. (And since the Smithsonian is at the Mall, perhaps an expedition to Air and Space or Natural History (dinosaurs! rocks!))

Ah, that's okay. We're going on the super budget mode of "spend as little time away as possible", so we'll find another way there. We'll probably just one-night on Friday night, then go and immediately head home when it's over. Maybe we'll bump into each other in the massive throng of people, though!

If you stay near my sister's at the Comfort Inn Shady Grove, we can meet at the Metro.

Alternatively, mobile phones! These can be used to arrange for meeting up.
