5:30 AM - phone alarm goes off. I whisper to Ari that it was just my alarm, and he still has a half hour.
5:45 AM - I'm almost done getting ready and get back into bed, waiting for Ari's alarm to go off.
5:55 AM - five minutes before his alarm, Ari decides that we're going to mobilize. Uncharacteristic of him, but something I really appreciated.
We get breakfast, get snacks, and get the first Metro out, that's already packed with people. On a Saturday morning. Why? For the greatest Saturday I've had yet out here in DC!!
The Rally to Restore Sanity and/ or Fear was full of funny signs, people, and some awesome acts. Colbert and Stewart really inspired me to vote (which I already did) and to tell my congresspeople what I think. It was also inspiring to stand around the people I did and to get the true rally experience, something I think everyone should have at least once. After all, "those who stand for nothing fall for anything" (Alexander Hamilton)
