October 29
Tomorrow it’s The Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. I had plans to be in Washington DC during this week before Jon Stewart thought of it so for me it was all a big bonus.
Paul and Gretchen and I met up, I from Nepenthe, they from NYNY. We’re staying in a business hotel in Alexandria, VA. which is actually a fair distance from the tourist section of Old Town Alexandria.
We’re out by a highway interchange where we take a hotel shuttle to the metro, the metro to the Alexandria station and then the trolley down into ‘the cute part’ taking 30-40 minutes tops. Or you can walk instead of taking the trolley and you can take the bus when the hotel shuttle isn’t running.
It’s one easy metro ride into DC too so the location of the hotel turned out to be quite ok.
