I am so there.

It will be nice to go to D.C. to celebrate, rather than protest for a change.

4. Here's betting it will be the biggest turn-out in U.S. history
I imagine Barack will have some cool plans to include the public more than past inaugurals, much like he did with his convention speech

10. I would recommend you get a hotel in Maryland or VA that's on the Metro Line
most Hotels have free shuttles to the trains
then you don't have to pay the jacked up DC rates

and there's always the youth Hostel on 12th street

11. I actually have 2 hotel rooms right now but will probably get rid of the one
I'm splurging for a place in Arlington, VA so I'm closer to the event.

15. How about we make sure that we have enough gains in the Senate
to make the party more than just an empty celebration first?

16. I would love to, but I'm half a world away in Asia
Better believe I'll be in front of my TV though screaming at the top of my lungs. My Korean neighbors will think I finally went nuts.
