SilentLoner Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hi all, I don't know if there was a thread amde on this already, but since its two days away now I was wondering who on this site is planning to go? I'll be there since I don't live far from D.C. And if anyone is planning to meet up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhampir Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 It's pretty much a lock for me. I don't divulge much personal info, but I don't live far from there myself. Excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhampir Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I was also planning to attend a black atheist after-party later on. I guess anyone is welcome but it does cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhampir Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Is no one else going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I think Margee, n00b and florduh were going as well. Not sure if they are still on the board right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsRoper Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I wish I could go. Hope you guys write about your experiences there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurari Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I would if I could, but I'm way on the other side of the country and too broke to afford the trip. Otherwise, I would SO be there. I wish there was a way the rest of us could virtually "come" and have our numbers count among the ranks as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhampir Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 FUCK A DUCK! It's supposed to rain saturday, and my wipers don't work properly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentLoner Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Looks like I have to shop for ponchos tomorrow...luckily I already have rainboots Can you imagine the number of religious nuts who'd be jizzing in their pants if someone at the rally got stuck by lightning?

★ Citsonga ★ Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I didn't see this thread until this morning, but I'm getting ready to leave for the rally right now. It's raining and rumbling outside where I'm at now, and there are chances of that throughout the day in DC, but I'm hosting a carpool for a few others and we're going regardless of the weather.

SilentLoner Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Just got back. It was awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackpudd1n Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Just got back. It was awesome! I want to hear ALL about it! How was it?! Are there going to be any videos uploaded to YouTube? I wanted to get a hoodie as a mark of solidarity, and sent an email, but they never replied to me. Do you know where I can get one, if I can still get one?

SilentLoner Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 I want to hear ALL about it! How was it?! It was so much fun! There were some hilarious speakers and performers - Tim Minchin was incredible especially. A good mix between serious and fun...I'm not sure I can sum it up well enough. Tons of people showed up. They told us at some point we matched the numbers for the Glen Beck rally. Are there going to be any videos uploaded to YouTube? I'd be very suprised if there aren't a bunch of videos on youtube by now, pretty much every other person was filming. I wanted to get a hoodie as a mark of solidarity, and sent an email, but they never replied to me. Do you know where I can get one, if I can still get one? Did you try and buy one through the Reason Rally website? That's where I've seen them for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got confused by them having a deadline for ordering so that the stuff shipped in time. If they have a sale on them at some point, I'll probably pick up a couple more- they were only $24.95, and shipping was only $5. Dirt cheap for a hoodie to begin with, and dirt cheap shipping, too.

Inqui Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I just saw the list of speakers, and now I want to echo this sentiment: I hate you all. I am so, so, so jealous!!! Fuck NZ sucks some times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck NZ sucks some times. I'm hearing ya, Inqui. Australia is having an Atheist Convention in Melbourne in April, and Dawkins will be doing some talks before and after in Sydney, but that's probably not much use to you, hey. Not much use to me, either- Sydney is six hours south of me, and I'm not well enough to travel at the moment, and my op's not until the end of May. Spewing.
