Al Gore announced this morning that there will be a Live Earth event in DC tomorrow after all:

The Washington concert will feature a rare performance by country-music power couple Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, along with remarks by the former vice president and 2000 Democratic White House nominee.Their appearances — to be televised internationally, with the U.S. Capitol in the backdrop — will be high-wattage add-ons to the museum’s previously scheduled Live Earth spinoff, “Mother Earth,” a daylong program of performances and speeches by members of the Native American community.The concert is free and will begin at 10:30 a.m. on the outdoor plaza of the museum, at 4th St. and Independence Ave. SW.

How bizarre. Most activists will surely have already gone to, or be on their way to, the New Jersey show. The timing seems guaranteed to provide no audience whatsoever beyond the media. Ah.
