I got two bleacher seats to the parade!! The key was to go to ticketmaster.com ten minutes or so before 1, sign in and then refresh every 30 seconds or so until the sales box showed up :)

The coolest part of this is that I was able to surprise a friend with my 2nd ticket!

Are all the Washington Repuglicans going to Bimini for the inauguration? Or do some secretly want to be at this historic event and are willing do dress in drag to attend? Or not dress in drag, as is sometimes the fashion.

This is the last time I’ll make this announcement:

I’ll be in DC and Richmond starting next Friday for one week. Anyone wanna get a beer or maybe just a motel room for some quick blow jobs?

“Sexy … Details and Threats” is quintessential Wonk-speak, isn’t it?

[re=214927]meg9[/re]: [re=214950]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: I too will be attending this Insaneopalooza Inaugural and wondered if there might be means, motive and opportunity to have some kind of Wonketteer gathering. How would one go about making that happen?

Beer I’m ok with, but I don’t do Britney Spears impersonations.

[re=214950]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: when will you be in DC? And I think Wonkette should make this a Wonkette-Sanctioned (TM) event like the Paultardapalooza Protest.

Once the PUMAs figure out the Mandy Pepperidge reference, the aneurysms will asplode. Brava, Juli!

I started a discussion thread there and that might be the easiest way to coordinate something. It would be sweet if we could put something together but the whole city’s going to be such a mess and it may not work out. But fuck it… let’s try.

[re=214999]Kev-O-Tron[/re]: ah, I am a Facebook Luddite. No like teh Facebook. I am sorry! You all coordinate and then maybe announce over here when it is settled? I think Sat. night is the best bet, but, as you note, it is going to be heinous getting anywhere in the City. Maybe then do something in Alexandria?

Kev-O-Tron January 9, 2009 at 5:14 pm

[re=215024]Doglessliberal[/re]: That’s a great idea! I’ll be staying in Oakton with my friends family. I have fond memories of a TGI Fridays in Tyson’s Corner (I think). I almost got my ass kicked for some drunken shenanigans about eight years ago.

landlords are begging for out-of-towners to sleep in their apartments.

I want the genuine Washington DC experience, though, so I will be sleeping in a tattered trenchcoat with the hobos in a back alley, surrounded by the smell of feces and the sound of black folks shooting at each other.

I just want to say “Bravo!” on the Animal House reference.

As tribute to changing size of MSM staff, all bands at Journapalooza required to play “Theme from Exodus.”
