12. ALWAYS NOTE AT LEAST 2 EXITS WHEREVER YOU ARE

13. WEAR COMFORTABLE RUNNING SHOES

14. BRING PONCHO

15. ENJOY MEETING PEOPLE BUT ALSO BE WARY OF STRANGERS. PAID DISRUPTERS WILL BE SENT TO CAUSE CHAOS.

16. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY TO REPORTERS. THOSE BASTARDS WILL EDIT TO MAKE YOU LOOK AS BAD AS POSSIBLE

17. BRING A LITTLE EXTRA WATER/ SNACKS TO HELP OTHERS

18. REMEMBER THAT JUST BECAUSE WE BACK THE BLUE DOES NOT MEAN THE DC POLICE BACK YOU. THEY ARE UNDER ORDERS FROM TRUMP HATING OFFICIALS. AVOID CONFRONTATION.

19. BRING PORTABLE SEATING IF POSSIBLE. THINK BACKPACK STYLE CONCERT SEATING.

20. BRING SUNSCREEN

21. REMEMBER, IN MANY STATES YOU CAN BE LEGALLY LIABLE FOR WHAT YOU POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA. CONSIDER CAREFULLY THE CONTENT OF WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO POST AND POSSIBLE REPERCUSSIONS.

22. REMEMBER TO HELP VULNERABLE AND ELDERLY ATTENDEES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

23. HAVE PAPER PHOTOCOPIES OF ALL OF YOUR CREDIT CARDS, DRIVER LICENSE, PASSPORT, HEALTH INSURANCE, CAR REGISTRATION ON HAND.

24. HAVE A PAPER PRINTOUT OF ALL NECESSARY PHONE NUMBERS IN YOUR GROUP. CONSIDER THAT YOU COULD LOSE OR BREAK YOUR CELL PHONE.

25. FANNY PACKS ARE A GIFT FROM GOD ABOVE. YOU CAN BUY CHEAP ONES AT ALMOST ANY MALL, BOX STORE OR ON AMAZON NEXT DAY.

26. BRING A SMALL AMOUNT OF ANY NECESSARY PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE (IN ORIGINAL PACKAGE ON YOUR PERSON) JUST IN CASE THE UNEXPECTED OCCURS.

27. TWITTER, ETC WILL LIKELY DO A PURGE OF CONSERVATIVES ON WED. GET SCREEN GRABS OF THE HANDLES OF PEOPLE YOU FOLLOW SO YOU CAN FIND THEM AGAIN & HAVE ALTERNATE METHODS OF COMS SET UP. SHARE EMAILS, GET A FREE GOOGLE VOICE NUMBER, MULTIPLE OPTIONS IS KEY.

28. IF YOU’RE 21+, ALCOHOL IS FUN...BUT ALSO MAKES YOU DO AND SAY DUMB THINGS. DON’T DRINK AND TALK TO REPORTERS/ANTIFA/COPS...YOU GET THE IDEA. THIS EVENT WILL END BUT VIDEO FOOTAGE OF YOU DRUNK DANCING HALF NAKED AT THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE LAND IS FOREVER.

29. THE MAYOR OF DC WILL TRY TO CLOSE DOWN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO DISCOURAGE ATTENDANCE. DON’T LET HER WIN BUT BE PREPARED. DON’T EXPECT RESTAURANTS, RESTROOMS, PARKING, ETC TO BE OPEN/AVAILABLE. PLAN ACCORDINGLY.

30. STAY HYDRATED. HYDRATED. HYDRATED!!!!!

31. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THE GRAVITY OF HOW VOLATILE THE CLIMATE IS. WE ARE HAPPY MAGA PEOPLE BUT MANY PEOPLE ARE ENRAGED. BE CAUTIOUS.
