I'm only about 3 hours from DC, so I may go.

DC is a short plane ride for me(after the three hours of body cavity searches to board a plane for DC that is). I'm definitely going.

I live only a few miles from the Mall. Even better, I'm close to a Metro Station so I won't have to drive into the city. I'll be there!

COOL! Thanks, funy, <img src="graemlins/notworthy.gif" border="0" alt="[Not Worthy]" /> I have a friend who lives in Burke, VA, and will ask her if she can let me bunk by her place for a few days. I'll try my best to be there.

I'd certainly go, except I live over the Atlantic Ocean! I think it sounds absolutely fantastic!

If I had the resources to go (i.e. available time and money) I'd be there in a hearbeat. But since November is during the school year and I'm broke, I'll have to pass. :-(

If I have the time and money I will be there.

I sure hope every nonbeliever who can attend will do so. I cannot, for I live 3,000 miles away on the west coast, and I am in high school. Bummer. If I could, I would definitely go. If the amount of marchers is a good amout (a couple thousand persons, at least) then it will be better. A 500 person march would be rather lame (but I'd still support it, of course). Oh, I wish I could attend!

I can imagine that the event will enjoy much media across the country. I'm simply afraid that much of the coverage will be leaning toward negativeness. I'm sure there will be passing remarks here in my substantially religious city, including some letters to the editor. I can just hear those Jay Leno jokes over the event right now...
