Well, you probably will need a union ID. That's what the unions do during
legislative meetings...you can't get in without some sort of appropriate
ID...but with two million souls on the mall, it could easily get out of
hand! :)

Being the 56,723rd person to climb into a porti-potty on the mall is a
scary thought.

Getting out of town is going to be a bitch, too. The only good way is to
wait for the crowds to thin out a bit and then head for a metro station
not well known to the touristas.


When I was stationed in Annapolis during my last two years in the Navy, we
would often zip down to DC on weekends and hang out at the museums and/or
walk the various sites. It was always fun, you learned something during
every visit and I got to know how to drive in and out with no problems. We
would leave our house early in the morning, get a full day in in the Capital
area, and be home for dinner. I often used to get a parking place on the
street right across from the Smithsonian's main entrance.

I'll bet all that has changed now.

Hope this isn't an indication of how the "Organizer" administration
organizes things.

Speaking of organized, time for those photos of Obama swearing in his

This is the Democrat's party. They will get all of the glory and all of
the blame.

Bring an empty plastic bottle. Carry it in your hand, 'cause backpacks and
large purses won't be allowed.
I'm going to play it safe John. on the 20th I'm going to Kentucky
Fried Chicken, and watch it on big screen.
Gee, and I was going to be on the lookout for you and for Herring...you
in the crowd and Herring in the ambulance, on his way to the hospital
after suffering a stroke. :)


Nah, I've never been to an inauguration yet, and really dont' see any
reason to attend this one either, fighting crowds and traffic isn't'
my thing. especially when it's going to be on about every TV network
for weeks to come.


I've lived in the DC area, Fairfax County, Virginia or Montgomery
County, Maryland since July of 1971. I've been to the Mall once for 4th
of July fireworks and never for an inauguration. The one time I went for
fireworks it was on my motorcycle, easy in, easy around and easy out.
It's just too damn cold to go for an inauguration.

I really think you mean all of the glory and none of the blame.. They
will still be blaming Bush for the next 4 years until they get run out
of town on a rail. Only Republicans are responsible from the day they
are sworn in..

Actually, the last few times we went to any of the museums, we found
on-street parking no more than a block away. We tend not to go, though,
during tourist season, unless there is someting spectacular and
short-term at one of the art galleries. There's also parking where my
wife works, and it's only a block from there to the Metro.

We hop on the Metro out at Shady Grove and ride down to the Smithsonian
Station. No need to worry about driving into DC and all of the freaking
non-law abiding bicyclist, one-way streets and parking meters and
general hassle of driving.

Metro is the way to go, no doubt about it. If the Metro is ever extended
to Tysons Corners, why...I might go out there again!

I'd like to see the Metro extended to Annapolis, and also to the old
race track in PeeGee County, but there's no money for that.

John, for someone who is quick to chastise someone for replying to a
