So who's going down to the Mall tomorrow for the inauguration? I am still debating whether I want to go -- I mean, I want desperately to go, but oy, the crowds. I'm not entirely sure my knees can take it.

I would say you're MUCH better off watching it at home. Not only will you have a better view, but it's just going to be completely insane. I've heard there are so many people who have been planning to come from out of town that no hotel rooms have been available for months, I keep hearing about all the bus trips down from my area (for like $500 a person!!!!) and various other insanities, esp. from a friend of mine who works for the FBI who is on security detail for tomorrow. Just from what I've heard from him there's no way in hell you'd get me anywhere near DC tomorrow, let alone close to the Mall.

But, YMMV.

Yeah, they're saying 4 million people will be cramming onto the Mall. No doubt it's going to be a very special brand of insanity!
