Woohoo! I am getting excited!! DC in 2 more days!!!!

[proud2BlibKansan]

Our bus from Missouri is F U L L. Plus we are taking a van and a car so we can squeeze everyone in. People are so PUMPED.

Two reporters called me today. I wanted to ask "Where have you BEEN?" But I was so glad to be getting press I was incredibly polite to them.

Now here is the best part - a producer for an NPR radio show in L.A. emailed me and wants to send a reporter in the bus with our group from MO to DC!

We are getting their attention, folks!!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Glimmer of Hope]

1. Awesome! I think the turnout is going to be great and maybe

(big maybe) we are going get some press.

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. Baby, we are already getting press!!

They are waking up!!

[Captain Hilts]

3. We look forward to seeing you! The Show Me State will show 'em! nt

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Here comes the sane people from red state hell!

Yes, not all of us are fundie froot cakes here in the midwest. :)

[WiseButAngrySara]

4. KNR and good luck! I'm jealous... n/t

[ptvet]

6. That's Great!

Great to hear busses are full....and people are pumped up man! See you all there....

[Mabus]

7. I'm so excited for you!

Good going. I like the idea of a reporter traveling with people from the midwest. Make sure the reporter goes to the DU meetup! I know all of you going will make those of us back home proud.

:woohoo:

:loveya:

K&R

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. I will take pics tomorrow of the bus send off

and watch the news too. We sent out press releases and maybe some TV reporters will actually show up.

[Mabus]

9. I'll be watching the local news

This is so cool. I'm so happy that you guys are going. And apparently you won't be alone! I really wish I was going too. I'll miss you guys but I'll be comforted with knowing that you all are there in my stead.

We'll get to DC together later this year.

edited to add: Tell the reporter that we want Gore!

[evlbstrd]

12. We've got our buttons!

[Mabus]

17. No hijacking proud's posts

outside the K-Zone.

We'll try to get you to DC with us this summer. A DU road trip.

[evlbstrd]

18. Excellent.

No, I won't do that again. Or the other thing.

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. Ah sweetie, you can hijack my post anytime

:hug:

[Mabus]

33. Just didn't want to subject the rest of DU

to one of our free-for-alls. You know what happens when you, me and evl start posting on the same thread.

[evlbstrd]

10. I volunteered to ride in the van.

So that the reporter could get on the bus.
Hey, you don't suppose proud is trying to keep me away from the reporter, do you?

[Mabus]

11. Whew

I was a little worried about that. You really gotta watch that proud, she's a crafty one. :P

[evlbstrd]

13. Yup.

Damn teacher.
If she's a cute girl reporter, I'll get her to the meetup.

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. And evl's a liar

He volunteered to ride in the car so he could smoke.

[Mabus]

32. I thought it was to smuggle Guinness

or Jameson from a flask but his smoking did cross my mind.

[evlbstrd]

42. I'm actually supposed to be helping.

So I have to be as good as I can be.

[evlbstrd]

40. You weren't supposed to be looking.

[proud2BlibKansan]

44. yes I bet you wish you could block me from certain threads

no such luck though

:rofl:

[evlbstrd]

46. I would never block you.

I gotta keep an eye on you.

[proud2BlibKansan]

47. And don't forget I have an extra pair

in the back of my head.

[evlbstrd]

48. Ooh!

That was close!
Not to mention your secret video camera.

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. Damn you figgered me out

[Jcrowley]

14. K&R

See ya' there.

Are you comin' from St. Louis by chance?

[proud2BlibKansan]

24. Our bus starts in KC

and we pick up in Columbia and then go on to St Louis. Plus a van is coming from Springfield.

[Blue_In_AK]

15. How exciting that you have press coverage.

I'm looking forward so much to meeting you.

[proud2BlibKansan]

27. Same here, Blue

I am calling evl as soon as my plane lands. So stick around if you can at the Hawk and Dove Friday night.

[Blue_In_AK]

35. I'll stick around as long as I can hold my head up.

I leave here at 1:05 in the morning tomorrow night, and probably won't get much sleep on the plane, so I imagine I'll be fairly wiped out fairly early, but I'll do my best. :)

[Luckyduck]

16. How long are you staying?

Can you bring some maps?

:applause:

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. Wow what a great idea

The Sunday morning shows!!

:woohoo:

[w8liftinglady]

19. wow..I am SO jealous..Do us proud!

[Recursion]

20. Sweet. Stop by the Wonderland

It's at the Columbia Heights stop, on the Green Line. Great bar, a block from my house.

Also, remember to push your Congresscritter for DC voting rights. Taxation without representation needs to end.

[midnight]

21. Thanks for being one more voice. I'm so excited for you.

Enjoy making history, and please post everything for us who are at home.

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. Will do.

evl will have his computer so we can blog from DC.

[Kurovski]

25. I'm jealous of all you lucky bums, er...I mean...

wonderful Americans!

[countingbluecars]

30. I'm excited too.

The march got some coverage on the DC network news channels tonight. They mentioned the large number of buses expected. It's going to be big!

Hope to meet you at the Hawk and Dove Friday night.

[proud2BlibKansan]

34. See you Friday?

I hope you can stick around till I get there.

[countingbluecars]

37. I'm planning on it.

I talked my husband into the Friday night meetup and booked a room outside DC near the metro. I think the metro has extended hours on Friday night, so we can stay late and still be there when you arrive.

[proud2BlibKansan]

38. Oh whoopee!!

Let's pray my plane arrives on time. It's a nonstop flight so I am anticipating no problems. <knock on wood>

[Robbien]

31. Green with jealously

Don't have the money to take off the time but my heart goes with you guys. Represent and have fun!

You guys :yourock:

[faithnotgreed]

36. so they may actually finally report on anti-war protests huh

this should be interesting
thanks so much for the information and i hope that reporter gets a couple EARFULS

[Pierzin]

39. Thank You!!!! Everyone who goes is Truly Blessed!!!!

Will it actually get covered by the media? go go go go!!
vigiling is hard work! You should all be proud! Call the liars out for the vampires and chicken hawks that they are!

[EFerrari]

41. You're lucky! My FOF is horrendous.

But, I'm just going to pretend that I'm getting on the N Judah only it's really clean and there are no hills. :hi:

[Sugarcoated]

43. My husband and I are down for this!

Making plans, wondering if we can park in DC or if it would be better to park outside of DC and take a train? And if so, which train/station?

[proud2BlibKansan]

45. The train is probably your best bet

UFPJ sent out an email today recommending park and ride into DC.

[kiteinthewind]

49. If you're coming from Philadelphia, it looks like

coming in on 295 you could park at either the Deanwood http://www.wmata.com/metrorail/Stations/station.cfm?station=65 or the Minnesota Ave http://www.wmata.com/metrorail/Stations/station.cfm?station=64 station and take the Orange line towards Vienna/Fairfax and get off at the Federal Center SW and walk a few blocks north to the mall.

[Sugarcoated]

50. Thank you so much for the quick response!

Not only am I looking very forward to expressing my feelings at this thing, I can't wait to meet some of you!
