I just spent the last week in DC working for Local 22 at Union Station and helped produce three Inugural Events in the lobby. Sunday night the 18th, we held the Latino Gala with music by WAR, Marc Anthony with special guests Jennifer Lopez, George Lopez.. On Monday night the 19th we hosted the VP Dinner for Joe Biden with his friend Carol King for entertainment. On Tuesday night we hosted the New England Ball with James Taylor and also was the scene of the last dance by Obama and Michelle at 12:40 AM...
All in all it was an amazing time I met many people who are looking forward to just some change in the future.
I got the call yesterday from Aunt Lizza in California - she got two tickets to the swearing in ceremony and she's invited me to go with her!
I can't believe it! I am telling people it's happening. But I'm not sure I really believe it's happening. To be able to attend any presidential inauguration event is an honor and a privilege. But to attend this one - probably the most historic inauguration EVER. It's beyond anything I can imagine. To experience the event, live, with millions of other Americans is an honor I will never forget. I don't know what it will be like - but I can't WAIT!!
Hey You ~ How about a Grassroots Inaugural Party?
"Party": groups acting together, leaning more towards the effort of staying active and organized for Barack as volunteers, than to have an extravagant celebration Ball. A scaled back approach to the gathering, being that our country is at war and our economy is the pits.
Here is where we are ~ We have a local Maryland kick-off committee, submitted a formal request to the official Inauguration Committee to include our gathering as an official event, have a local event organizer already doing research, found location options including the Convention Center, and have a list of several entertainers to choose from.
The "Party" theme is a promise to continue our community involvement, tickets will be $200 per person, dress code is relaxed.
The Maryland kick-off committee is looking for volunteers to spearhead the event, and you do not have to reside in Washington DC.
If you are interested in attending and purchasing a ticket, or would like to offer your event coordinating talent as a volunteer in one of the committees please send an email to: obamatallgrass@gmail.com.

Who else is going to the Inauguration event? It's going to be HUGE! From what I understand, they are estimating over 5 Million people will be showing up for the event. A friend from my job has put our names on a list for tickets to get inside the gates. I'm telling everyone I know about the event and will also be twittering and blogging the event live from my BlackBerry!
So very excited!
I am so excited about the results of the election and the enthusiasm that has been generated that I am proposing a way that we can keep it going... special events on January 20 in which we commit to MAKING A DIFFERENCE. You can read more at http://www.leadershipoptions.com/id13.html
