I'm hoping for the world's biggest ever block party.

From what I am gathering, tickets are pretty much unavailable to the great unwashed (us), even now.

Here's a map of the area:



The swearing in will happen on the Capitol's West steps, facing The Mall. Reserved cattle pens extend to 4th Street (where the "A" in the words "The Mall" is). This is also the farthest one can probably be and still see him unaided. Beyond that is binocular range (The Mall is about 2 miles long).

I expect the entire parade route (Capitol to Constitution to Pennsylvania to the White House) will mostly be reserved seating, too, although the riff raff may be allowed on the side streets such that if one were to be carried on another's shoulders, one might be able to hold a camera even further aloft and get a picture of the passing parade.

But think of the energy that will be there that day!

The last one I attended was Clinton 1. I can't WAIT for this one!!!
