Mapquest link to rally location at Upper Senate Park.
Travel: Upper Senate Park is located between the Capitol and Union Station.
Union Station is accessible via Amtrak, Metro and Marc trains. There is also a large public parking lot at Union Station.
Union Station is located along the Red Line on the Metro subway system. Link to Metro here. If you plan on using the outlying suburban Metro parking lots, please be aware that they fill up early in the morning because of commuters.
The parking garage directly behind Union Station charges $14 for all day parking. Street parking on Capitol Hill is restricted to Senate staff. There is limited street parking available, but most of those spaces are two-hour metered spaces.
Wednesday evening's pre-rally dinner will be held at Tom Sarris' Orleans House restaurant in Rosslyn, Virginia at 7 p.m. Take the Orange or Blue lines on Metro to the Rosslyn Station. The restaurant is a two story white brick building across Moore St. from the station. Limited street parking is available. There is a parking garage on Moore St. at Wilson Blvd. that charges $6 after 6 p.m. The street address for the restaurant is 1213 Wilson Blvd.
Please RSVP for the Wednesday night dinner to me either on this thread or by freepmail.
Thursday's after rally dinner will be held at the Cap City Brewing Co. located at 2 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, right next to Union Station in the Postal Museum building. This dinner is unreserved, but I told the restaurant we would be arriving between 4 and 5 p.m., after we finish visiting the Senate offices.
For both dinners, even if you are unable to attend the rally, you are invited to dine and socialize with your fellow FReepers.
The rally itself is finally coming together. We'll be ready to announce speakers and co-sponsors starting Monday. The weather forecast for Thursday (click for updates) is for highs in the 50s or 60s with a slight chance of rain.
AMEN! And if you can't get there, please do what you can from your desktop, phone and fax.

Count me in for dinner on Wednesday night.
What's happened with the press conference that was supposed to be broadcast on C-SPAN at noon? I've been switching back and forth between its channels, with tears in my eyes.
