Everything below here was pre-rally information. Bomb Shelter Radio comes to the National Mall to cover the Stewart/Colbert Rally. BSR is an equal opportunity internet radio station, we promote SANITY and FEAR. Stop by and say hello during the broadcast!
Broadcast Time updated 11:00 Friday 10:30AM to 3:30PM US Eastern Time. The chat room will be open and we will be using the standard server (details in the left sidebar). It is likely we will be broadcasting at a lower rate and in mono because of bandwidth concerns. Google Latitude updated 11:00 Friday An alternate way for finding us is using Google Latitude from a GPS enabled device. Contact Illya@bomb-shelter-radio.com to join in. Note 1: We will be using my regular Google account for Latitude, so expect a connection from JOHN (something) MCMAHON (something) at google.com. Note 2: To preserve my privacy and yours, I will turn it off on Sunday. Thanks to Sasquatch for the idea. (A Google Gadget To Access Google Latitude Was REDACTED)
No Show On Thursdayupdated 14:15 Thursday BSR will not broadcast tonight as scheduled. We are getting ready for the Rally and attending TRON Night. Road Closures updated 11:00 Friday Our thanks to TBD.COM for publishing the road closure data that the US Park Police provided. Be safe! Be sane! Yet Another Handy Google Map showing the road closures (6AM-4PM on 10/30/10) related to the Rally to Restore Sanity. Update: Be flexible if you are driving. Some media outlets have reported additional road closures beyond what is shown on the map. If you are driving you probably want to hit a garage a few blocks away from the mall since street parking can be tricky. Pictures updated 14:00 Thursday http://yfrog.com/2sblpj - Stage as viewed from 4th Street at Noon on Thursday. Map Point updated 11:00 Friday Handy Google Map The National Mall is a big place. After some thought, we decided to pick a "map point" (those of you who attend raves, stop giggling) which people can find easily. We should be setting up near there, but if you have trouble you can text or call Illya at (REDACTED MY CELL PHONE NUMBER) and someone will come get you. Text will likely work better. Finding the map point
Update: A few local media reports indicate that the entrance for the rally will only be on 7th St. We also have concerns that the area we have chosen may be a VIP area. We aren't going to move the map point at this time (since the information is as clear as mud) but if we have to abandon this plan we will stay on the south side of the rally area. If you have Google Latitude you should use it (see above). Also make sure you have my number (see above). Metro updated 11:00 Friday The closest Metro station is Federal Center SW which is at 3rd and D street SW on the Blue/Orange line. It is marked on this map. Update: If it becomes clear the rally can only be entered at 7th street, you should use the L'Enfant Plaza Metro Station. You will find the 7th and Maryland Avenue exit to be the most useful. Archives/Navy Memorial/Penn Quarter is a good alternate. Smithsonian station is almost always a bad choice due to crowding and distance from the rally. Weather updated 12:30PM Tuesday Use the zip code 20024 at your favorite weather web site to get information. Currently the prediction is partly cloudy skies in the low 60's. Who is attending updated 11:00 Friday Currently on the list: Akiyo Alys Amber Boots Dr. ZRFQ Heidi Illya Kuryakin Orla Kevin Killernurd Mona Punkwalrus Rogue Shaune Advise Illya@bomb-shelter-radio.com of any additions or deletions BY E-MAIL please. I likely missed some messages from some other sources (e.g. Twitter, IM, Facebook). |
