 Re: Anyone going to the inaguration? Too cold and crowded for me. I never even went to Times Square on New Years Eve when I lived in New York.

Re: Anyone going to the inaguration? Nope. I have jury duty that day so I'm not even sure I'll be able to watch it on TV.

Re: Anyone going to the inaguration? I'm not, but I have some friends that live in Alexandria and they are renting their room for tomorrow night for $500 or something crazy. I know there are people willing to pay thousands for a place to stay.

Re: Anyone going to the inaguration? Bo-ring, if historic.
But I will buy three or four newspapers before going to school and keep them mint in my drawer for a few decades. Like the Pearl Harbor newspapers some people have.

Re: Anyone going to the inaguration? No way. I don't care if I live 20 minutes away, I'm not subjecting myself to the miserable crowds/cold/etc. without even being remotely near Obama. I'll be watching on TV. Floydboy wrote: I'm not, but I have some friends that live in Alexandria and they are renting their room for tomorrow night for $500 or something crazy. I know there are people willing to pay thousands for a place to stay. Hah my neighbor down the street's doing that! Maybe we should've too.

Re: Anyone going to the inaguration? Nope. I'll be in class. I wouldn't have wanted to go anyways. 30 degrees, 3 million people - no thanks.

Re: Anyone going to the inaguration? No jury duty that day so I'll definitely be watching it on TV.

Re: Anyone going to the inaguration? Does anyone have a good website where I can watch this? (I'd like a good streaming site if anyone knows...)
Edit: I know a ton of sites are going to host it, I was just wondering if anyone knew of one that was better than the rest... (ie better bandwith and loading capacities).

Re: Anyone going to the inaguration? BARACK OBAMA IS OFFICIALLY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
