My sister called last night to discuss our plans (more specifically, my plans) for Saturday. My plans are still rather vague, so that doesn't quite help her.
Here's what I have so far:
Friday
3 pm: leave NC
8-9 pm: arrive in Gaithersburg, MD [assuming 95/495 aren't doing good imitations of parking lots]
Saturday
morning (9?): to Metro station, into the city
upon arrival in city: brunch
12-3: Rally
post-rally: ??
Sunday
morning (9?): leave for home
mid-afternoon, gods willing: arrive home
evening: contribute to dental cavities in children
Here's where you come in! There's a variety of eating establishments as well as drinking establishments that serve food within a couple Metro stops of the rally, according to my sister. What do you want to do with me when we're in DC at the same time?
Do you want to meet up before the rally and hang together?
Do you want to meet up after the rally and get something to eat and/or drink?
Do you want to meet up after the rally and go to a museum and then get something to eat and/or drink?
Do you want to meet up after the rally and go wandering around Dupont Circle and then get something to eat and/or drink?
Do you have other ideas?
(Getting something to eat and/or drink isn't really negotiable ;) I'm going to be doing that for certain, whether any of you are with me or not.)
My sister knows somebody who lives in the city somewhere, and they're having a low-key party of sorts, and she's thinking of making an appearance there. (We're not invited.) I don't know whether she's up for hanging out etc, or if she'll be doing her own thing. There's another party she was invited to, but she didn't sound very interested in going to it.
The main reason we need to make at least firmer vague plans is so we know whether we'll need to take one car to the Metro Saturday morning or two. If Ben & I are going to be in the city later than she's planning to, or vice versa, we'll need both cars. She's going to give us the spare key to her apartment, so we can go separately from her.
How late do y'all plan to be out after the rally? What sort of things do you want to do? I have![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tsubaki_ny's number, and I sent ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
smarriveurr mine in a PM. Is anyone else going? (Yes, I know there's a smallish COUP crowd going; I'm not going with them. Wm and G are planning to leave almost immediately after the rally.)
