The inauguration of President Barack Obama is just a couple of weeks away and it’s looking more and more like Barb and I will be in D.C. for the historic event. We’re told we have tickets. A friend of Barb’s has graciously provided a place to stay. And we have two insanely expensive airline tickets.
Given that our tickets are two of 250,000, we have no illusions about this adventure and are approaching it like Woodstock: cold, muddy and a lot of fun. No, I wasn’t there.
But now there’s some talk of tickets to one of the many Inaugural Balls. In for a penny, in for a pound. In the event we do get tickets to a ball, yesterday I got fitted for my first tuxedo since my high school prom.
There was some discussion of showing up in a powder blue number but the Sean Connery model (From Russia with Love) won out. All Barb would say about her new dress was, “It’s sparkly.”
Stay tuned as this story unfolds.
STREAM it . . . Qik or Kyte will do. What about some twittering and twitpicing…eh?
If you’re there, you gotta share.
I bow to your all knowing and all powerful Mrs. Mays – you know that without her none of this would be happening.
Hello Steve….
I have been frantically looking for a local person to do some phoners from D-C during the Inauguration. Will you have time, the stamina or the desire to do a few minutes during my Morning Show? Sometime between 7:15 to 7:30 or 7:35 to 7:55 or 8:20 to 8:30 am. And I am sure that mY boss will comp you free “Disney on Ice” tickets as compensation.
Thanks for your consideration-

Re: powder blue tux. What colour fez would go well with that ?
