Here is the last word as I know it on the march.
The rally will begin at 10 am and there will be speeches from lots of celebrities. The actual march will begin at 1 and end at the Ellipse.
I am re posting what you can and cannot bring: please note all bags may be subject to search. Backpacks are not permitted. Bags should be no larger than 8″x6″x4″. Specifically for people who would like to bring meals, each marcher is permitted one additional 12″x12″x6″ plastic or gallon bag. For marchers who have medical needs or for mothers who need baby bags or breast pumps, one clear bag or backpack no larger than 17″x12″x6″ will be permitted and subject to search (colored transparent bags are not permitted). Do not bring anything that can be construed as a weapon, including signage with any kind of handle (e.g. a wooden stick).
We will open at 8:30 and you may bring your handbags, luggage, backpacks etc. to the store. Please do not bring anything that is of value as we cannot be responsible. So take your phones and your wallets as well as any jewelry with you or leave those items at home. We will have lots of snacks and drinks. Also, several people have asked if their moms can come here as they cannot march. YES! YES! YES! Anyone who wants to hang around with us is more than welcome.
The entry to our store is on E STREET NW between 12th and 13th Streets. There are flags on the building above our door. For Uber use this address: 1299 E Street NW. If you are using the Metro to get here get off at Metro Center, walk out the F and 12th Street exit and turn right. We are on the corner right next to Au Bon Pain. Our phone number is 301-351-8308. You can get into the building through Au Bon Pain or enter on E Street.
I am re sending the invitation to Nora’s on Sunday. Katy and I are going at 1 and you need to call and make a reservation. It is bound to be lots of fun and a great way to end the weekend. Nothing beats great food.
About these shoes: super internet sleuth Jill Stillwell found them on sale. I tried on this season’s all black ones at Vince and it ran about a 1/2 size big on me if that gives you some info on the fit.
Link to the shoes at Nordstrom and by the way you have to sign up as a NR customer to be able to make the shopping cart work otherwise it spins and spins but it won’t let you buy them.
Remember we are here today and closed tomorrow but we hope to see you on Saturday!
Ricki and Katy
