I visited the rally after the march, as a spectator, hoping to maybe bump into someone I knew from years gone by. There were many, many people there both departing and arriving (both directions) when I got there at about 12:45. I spent about an hour there and walked at least a good mile or more before I headed back to my hotel on the other side of the river.
I was in town for a different function. I had some free time on Saturday so I hopped on the Metro and checked out the rally/protest. I was too late to see the march so I headed toward the Capitol to check it out.
Mudbot says he was there too. I didn't bump into him or anyone else I knew from over the years - too many people were there.
I was looking for FReakers, but like I said, the crowd was too big and lady luck wasn't on my side. I spent about 45 minutes looking and walking but I didn't bump into anyone. I suppose if I wanted to spend hours I might have found out where they were.
Since you got there late, what was the "feel" concerning the size of the crowd? I wasn't there but as you know that particular Washington DC demonstration was one of the LARGEST in history.
