Inaguration

[Thump553]

<--- Proud winner of two tickets to the Inaguration, c/o a lottery by my congressman. Makes up for never winning the Powerball, I guess.

Any locals have any suggestions on other things to do in DC that weekend?

You get to like...be inside the building? In the same area as the Prez?

That's in late March; a bit of a wait for the OP.

I have tickets too and will be there. I'm excited.

I'll know more tomorrow when I get the email with details, but I think it means we can sit fairly close up front. Hopefully I won't be sitting behind Aretha Franklin, or if I am, hopefully she isn't wearing one of those big hats again.

I'm not sure what I would get out of seeing an inauguration but meeting Aretha Franklin would cool.

lol well, if there's food she will just hit the buffet and leave like she did last time.

Not a D.C. local, but last time I went was for work and I was so busy I didn't get to do anything while there. Personally I would've liked to have seen some of the Smithsonian museums while there. The stuff I didn't appreciate near enough while I was younger. Also I would probably wanna see certain sites that my current only experience with is Fallout 3

I also have tickets.....we should have an ATOT get together....

How much did you contribute to the campaign?

How much did you contribute to the campaign?

It isn't based on that. While I'm sure that donors get tickets as well there are quite a few available for people who didn't give anything.

 

[dmcowen674]

Yeah right. I've got a bridge for sale for you too.

 

[Doppel]

Yeah right. I've got a bridge for sale for you too.

All you have to sell is wanton ignorance. If you googled this, you'd know it is as they say, not as you wish it were.

 

[fskimospy]

Well you will have to explain how I got mine then, because I'm no donor.

You already do - it's called a circle jerk in PaN.

You explain it.

You frequent P&N and magically have tickets to a much smaller inauguration.

Not a Donor, Yeah right

Maybe not in money but in something else.

Go to Arlington National Cemetery and get a small taste of the sacrifice that it took to be a free nation.

The Smithsonian museums are great too, but pick one and spend your day there.

The monuments / memorials are worth seeing as well.

Please go away. Even though you couldn't pay me enough to go to the inauguration, they do provide tickets for the peasant class. You've demonstrated enough ignorance for this thread, your work is done here.

It's called calling your congressman and asking for tickets.

By all means I'm interested in what you believe I did to get them though.

Why would you do that if you had nothing to do with the campaign and why would the Congressman give you tickets?

 

[fskimospy]

Because anyone can call their congressman at any time for any reason. Every congressional member is allotted tickets and every single one of them that I am aware of distributes a large portion of these tickets through a lottery that all people who request them are entered in.

I guarantee you my congressman has absolutely no idea who I am. The only person in that office who would even know my name is the intern who took it down when I called. Stop being an idiot, you could have requested them too.

Anyways, to the OP if you're looking for some good brunch, try Founding Farmers on Pennsylvania ave NW. Its one of the best in town that I've been to.

I like to ride my bike around during it. the whole city, with the exception of the mall is empty. Roads and bridges are closed to cars. It's like something out of a zombie flick. It's the one day out of every 4 years cyclist own the roads.

I hadn't thought of Arlington. I think that's the best suggestion so far.
