Travel in the NE Corridor will be hell that day.

“The official balls are basically like bad proms,”

Probably true - but - the Freeper Balls were a great time!

It's going to be a Sodom and Gomorrah freak show.

For Reagan's second inaugural, I had to wear a Civil War Period Union cavalry uniform for the Parade. Several of the balls invited us a couple of nights before (if we wore the uniforms) and we went to several. I don't know how many we made because my memory only allows me to remember the first two. I had a grand time. We didn't get to ride in the parade because it was cancelled as the wind chill was somewhere between -5 degrees and -20 degrees Fahrenheit.

I thought the Freeper Ball was pretty good, especially Honorable Cong BillyBob, it is a lot easier if you live close.

I wonder how many people know that a middle school band of gays and lesbians have been invited to march in the parade?

I bet they get a lot of phone calls on that one. You don’t even go to the inaugural for 300,000 grand. LOL Talk about fleece. These idiots are sitting ducks.

How pathetic is this?

I had to commute through DC on the Metro during the last inauguration. I didn’t want to attend it, even though it was an ‘our side’ crowd. It was just too many doggone people. If I were still commuting through DC, I’d take the day off. I’ve been through some heavy crowds on the Metro, but this one is going to be worse than the Fourth of July post-fireworks crush of people.

Thankfully, I won’t be any closer than Fairfax.

Inauguration Day is usually a pretty miserable day, weather-wise.

The FReeper Ball in 2001 was the greatest! I don’t think anyone was disappointed, and it sure didn’t include a shake-down.

Can anyone tell me if they close off streets so the anointed one can get from event to event? Sounds like DC is going to be complete gridlock, even to pedestrian traffic.
