How late is the Metro going to be operating this night? I would hope it would be past the usual midnight time for weekdays.
I don't know, but I think someone said they thought it would run later than normal hours on Inauguration night. We need to find out for sure. Don't want to get stranded in DC and have to take a cab out to Alexandria. There are several contact numbers on their website HERE. I will try e-mailing them and see if I get an answer.
Good thing this Ball isn't being held in the People's Republic of California. The smokers would need to go out into the parking garage to smoke. Even then they'd need to keep a sharp eye out for the anti-smoking nazis who own all the air in this state. LOL.
Last time Metro ran until 3 a.m. I imagine it will run after midnight this time, too. They're waiting to see what the President's Inaugural Committee's plans are before announcing their schedule.
Just saw that you asked to be added to the DC Chapter ping list months ago, but apparently were not on at least some versions of the list. I apologize for my error.
At any rate, I've added you to the list. In the next few days, I will send the revised list to others authorized to use it.
I did want to ping you to this thread.
Hope that you can come to the event! It should be great!

Are FReepers ahving any success getting tickets to the actual inauguration? The Vermont congressional delegation will not give me any tickets.
Last time we stood so far away it was somewhat of a waste of time.
On the previous thread, I requested that two tix be set aside for me. Circumstances have changed, and I won't be able to attend. Best wishes for an outstanding inaugural ball!
