REAL!!!

after a seesaw of confusion about my previous "commemorative" inaugural ticket, i was luckily rewarded with an actual ticket!

i owe my luck to the fact that they are not allowing strollers into the ceremony, my coworker was unable to use her tickets lest her baby be stranded at home alone (seeing as it is nearly impossible to find a babysitter willing to skip the biggest moment in presidential inaugural history).

it turns out my decision to come to dc with the faint hope that i'd be around for the swearing in of a democratic president was a good one. so come january 20th, i'll be right there...soaking it all in.
