yeah youre right about that. last year they were filiming Salt when we cruised into DC. didnt cause any backups but this could possibly cause a traffic headache.

I'm not sure if it will be much of an issue. The article says they are hoping to get 8 bus fulls of people. What does a bus hold, 50 people each so maybe 400 total? I don't see that being anything major.

what about the people that live in the DC area? on the news i heard upwards of 100,000 people...............

on casa's website (casa of md is sponsoring) it says it starts at 2 pm. i'm looking for projections of how many people. 100,000 sounds like a lot...

we can leave earlier...

If it is that many people then I'll be driving somewhere else on Sunday.

I say we leave at 930 AM instead of 11... we'll all be heading back by roughly 12 noon - 1 pm. an hour before it starts. what do you think?

OR... we can switch it to the 28th and deal with the cherry blossom festival traffic......

by 05RedDevil on Sat Mar 13, 2010 3:17 pm

I say switch time or switch location. If we switch date then I'm a no show

by **ndnboy** on Sat Mar 13, 2010 5:28 pm

I think it will be fine, the way we are going in the worst case may mean we skip the drive by Capitol and stick with Ind Ave and across to the VA side, still can hit the Iwo/Pent/AF mem.........

by SVT_N8 on Sat Mar 13, 2010 5:30 pm

would it be possible to bump the time up a little? i have to be at work at 1:30pm

by alkemist on Sat Mar 13, 2010 5:38 pm

I think the cherry blossom festival will be much worse regarding traffic and people.

by Cdude2010 on Sat Mar 13, 2010 6:27 pm

OK...

We'll meet in Bowie at 9:30 AM. What do ya say?

by SVT_N8 on Sat Mar 13, 2010 6:28 pm

i prob will be meeting you guys in D.C. or right before your enter D.C. rather than driving the whoel way to Bowie just to drive back
