LiveBlogging from the Presidential Inaugurasian
Hello from Washington, D.C.– our nation’s chilly, beautiful capital!
I’m here this week to celebrate at stuffy panels, earnest documentary screenings, overstuffed, decadent balls, and colossal public events–all in preparation for the moment that Barack Obama says that beautiful Oath of office and closes the door on America’s eight-year Era of Shame.
I’m not the only one excited about the festivities here. Guess who arrived on my flight?
Mr. Bean goes to WashingtonIt feels like it really began yesterday afternoon, but the streets are buzzing with energy. People are simply going bananas, in a good way! They’re breaking out into “Yes We Can!” chants on the street. They’re partying until 5am! They’re watching CNN EVERYWHERE.
I can barely handle the hullabaloo (this may because I am nursing a monster hangover from showing my “energy” until 7am last night), so instead of shouting my joy out on the street, I’m just kicking it old school with my real friends at the hotel:
Just hangin’–DISGRASIAN girls roll large!
