all things Obama

There is a lot of excitement in DC as the region prepares for the inauguration. Earlier today he stopped in at Ben's Chili Bowl in our neighborhood for a half smoke with Mayor Fenty. Lelaine and Christy actually met an hour after they were there to go try out the place the Ali's opened next door (but it was closed so they had to go elsewhere). It is nice that the President-elect is out and about in DC. Hopefully that continues.

In addition to the actual inauguration, the ball Lelaine and friends are throwing, and the end of the Bush years, I'm excited about all the surrounding events. Next Sunday Bruce Springsteen is playing a show at the Lincoln Memorial. Not sure if the entire E Street Band will be there, but I will be. Also, on MLK night the Beastie Boys (yay) and Sherly Crow (eh) are playing a special show at the 9:30 club, just across the street from the Bigelow Estate. Unfortunately tickets sold out before we even found out about it, but maybe Mike D, MCA, and Ad-Rock will stop into Duffy's.
