This is a reply to Jim and the Newtons as well.

I was thinking of eating someplace close - such as the
Old Post Office - and then walking over to the
Washington Monument.  I'd like to get at the concert
site between 7:15 and 7:30 to get a good spot.  Even
then it might be a little late and I don't know what
sort of security to expect.  I'd like to travel light
(just a quilt for sitting and a bag to carry it in)
due to the security, both at the Monument and the Old
Post Office.

So, I'm looking to get to the Old Post Office about
6:30.  This leaves time to eat and gather; the food
court has lots of variety.

My usual strategy for this concert is to get a spot as
close to the VIP section as possible and when the
concert starts, grab an empty seat.  Which is why
getting a space early is important.

Call me if you're planning on going, as I'm not sure
if I'll be on late in the day.  I'm getting ready to
spend all tomorrow at the Mont. County Fair, for which
I have only drive-in free passes left.
