I had been looking forward to attending this all month and went with a small group just in time to get situated as it got started. The crowd was immense, overwhelming. While the inauguration had more people, it was also much more spread out. This was more like being in a Rock concert. Sometimes we just had to let the crowd direct our movement. The signs were everywhere and they were hysterical. I felt I did my part by being a number here. I think the rally did a lot to undermine the pompous gravity of the Beck rally.
Anyway, we could only handle it for a little while. After about a half hour, we got some food truck food by the National Gallery and watched the crowd while we ate. Then we headed to a nearby bar to watch and listen to the rally on a big screen. We just beat the crowds as we scored a table before everyone else caught on to our idea.
