    Tickets for the inauguration are starting at around 500 bucks every place I looked. Hotels are just about as much.

    Why would you? You can just watch it on TV, lol. No sense in paying any c-stacks on it.

    Umm, yeah. It's not that important to me, like a Rockets Game 7 in the playoffs would be. I have a nice TV and will enjoy the HD feed.

    I read the initial post real fast, and I thought you said "Its going to be one big Chocolate party."

    never been to DC. It would be cool to go but can you just stand from really far away for free (or cheap)?

    I have a free flight and lodging. Someone asked why would you go when you can watch it on TV.

    I still don't get the whole Chocolate City thing. If any place is Chocolate City it's Atlanta.

    Why go to the Super Bowl or World Series or NBA finals? You can watch it on TV.

    Good LORD, where is this money going?

    I wouldn't mind going just to witness history and all, but I think I'd rather pay my mortgage this month.
