This rally in Washington will also air on Comedy Central and The Comedy Network.

It is my understanding that there are also several surprises not included on this schedule.

I just returned from walking to the East Seaton park at the end the National Mall.  It is about a half hour walk from where I am staying and I intend to get there early, probably around 9:00 A.M..

I did the touristy thing and visited as many of the Smithsonian buildings as I could, including the Natural History and the Air and Space Museum. I also saw the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial, the World War 2 Memorial, and of course the White House. Whew!

The wind is blowing like crazy today, and there are dark clouds rolling in, though the forecast says it should be sunny on Saturday.  I hope so, not that I would not GLADLY sit in a downpour to see Jon and Stephen. Cause you know I would.

I am really looking forward to tomorrow and hope I do better at taking pictures then I did today.

Here are a few that survived.

Building the sets

For those who are overwhelmed with all of the sanity

I am not gay or anything but I have to say that Georgie was rocking quite a physique

Like I said I hope to have more, and better pictures, after the rally tomorrow.

Wish me luck.

Update: As for meeting up tomorrow, I have received a number of phone numbers and contact e-mails from many of you to facilitate a meet up. However, I don't really have the time to answer each query individually. So if you don't mind how about if I just use my twitter account (You can see the twitter feed on the right hand side of this blog) to let you all know where I will be tomorrow during the rally (as soon as I figure that out of course), and we can meet then.  I will be wearing a McAdams "It's about Alaska" pin so I should be easy relatively easy to spot.

As for this evening I am heading over to Malia Litman's book signing at Borders Books on 1800 L Street at 6:30, so we can meet up then as well. .Even if we don't see each other I hope that ALL of you attending have a great time.  I know I will!
