In DC? Looking for some fun with 1,000 close friends?

[Thanks to ToniD for this link] by Kagro X

The people who brought you this:

... are looking to do it again.

The organizers of the San Francisco "Impeach at the Beach" event are looking to recreate their feat on the Mall tomorrow, with the Capitol in the background.

If you're in DC and want to take a load off and maybe make the news while you're at it, then:

Show up on the sidewalk on the MONUMENT side of 14th Street, at the Mall, no later than 11:50 a.m..

More detail from an earlier diary by dsb:

On Saturday, Jan 27, we are going to repeat the event here in Washington on the National Mall at noon. Please come and be part of this historic event -- meet at 11:50 a.m. just east of the Washington Monument – specifically, on the sidewalk on the Monument side of 14th Street. A photographer at the top of the Washington Monument will take a picture of 1,000 of us lying down in the grass, spelling out "IMPEACH!" with the Capital Dome in the background. Please come – bring anyone and everyone you can.

We need 1,000 people to fill the lettering, but can accommodate thousands more. It will be a bang-bang affair –- no more than 15 minutes from start to finish. If we pull this off, it will be huge (possibly NY Times, Washington Post, etc...) and it will be historic. Don’t be late -- arrive by 11:50 a.m., look for volunteers handing out flyers with directions, follow the flyer’s directions and also the voice commands of the nearby volunteers. Stay off the grass, keep to the sidewalk, until the ropes that outline the lettering are in place. At 12 o’clock sharp, if all goes as planned, you will see a volunteer in the middle of the crowd raise a green flag. Walk slowly please into the lettering that you will see outlined in ropes and lie down (it’s a good idea, but not necessary, to bring a small tarp or blanket to lie down on), and wait until you see the red flag indicating that the photographers up in the Monument have gotten what they need, and that the event is over.

The guy said he needed to get 1,000 people together overnight. And I was like, "Hey, I know where I can find 1,000 people..."

What the hell, eh? Rest your weary feet, and get your picture taken for free.

InterTubes, represent!
