Anyone coming down for the Inauguration? This might be a good opportunity for a meet-up. 
I could probably put up a couple FOT on couches, a couple more in sleeping bags if necessary.

Man, I was going to, but the thought of sharing any space with 5 million people started giving me panic attacks so I decided not to go.

I did take off work that day and will be watching the inauguration from my living room, in pure bliss. Bye bye Bushy.

FWIW, the Black Cat only holds a few hundred, but I definitely relate to the possible stress of the whole thing.  I wouldn't be going at all if I didn't live within metro distance.

Yeah it was more the travel down there that got me. I was so gung-ho about it, but then reality set in and it made me queasy.

I'm thinking of going to the Black Cat thing.   I see Thomas Frank will be there, maybe he'll do some Embarassment covers.

I am still not convinced that Ron Paul supporters will be welcome there.

Dave should show up with a case of Hudy Delight and tell the Secret Service folks that he's a Friend of Tom.
