There was lots of fresh hope in the wind. I have Obamapneumonia. Caught it this summer and hope it lasts for another eight years. But the thought of being downtown in this cold and the crowds (and now that they are saying Metros gonna be screwed up...) I'll stock up over the weekend and snuggle with my partner for a few days. A kind of John and Yoko Bed-In for peace and all that's right, ya know? The first inaguaration I attended was Carter. There was lots of fresh hope in the wind.

I went in '93 and '05 and I've done the ball circuits too. While I get that this one is different and whatnot, I'm taking a pass. I hate crowds, tourists and enthusiasm, so I'll be at home with my Snuggie (if it ever gets here!), some bourbon, a fire and my dog. I just can’t bring myself to do it.

I am staying at home with my family to watch the events unfold on TV - I will have a better view!

Also, my mighty schlong is looking forward to the various appearances by Beyonce, Shakira, Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Halle Berry, and Jessica Alba. Seriously though, the Inauguration is a grand event and all that stuff but, I haven’t gotten nearly as excited about it as I was about election night.

The dealbreaker was getting an email this morning telling me I needed to be on the Mall at 5:00 am on Jan. 20. Right... Otherwise I am going to park my car today and not move it until Jan 21 and watch everything on TV. I am a PIC Volunteer drop out.

We're marching from Columbia Heights down to the mall, skipping over the metro madness. But I have a feeling in the end it's going to be one of those things I'm glad I got dragged to. Last time I attended inauguration was in 2001 to protest; I lived in Ohio at the time and it was my first trip to D.C. So hopefully this will wash away some bad memories. :) I’m playing tour guide for some out of town friends who want to go to inauguration, but I’m not looking forward to the crowds and numbing cold.
