2. Welcome to DU, and
what's better, DC in the bitter cold when millions showed up, or you getting to see our prez?

Hea, don't do it if it's such a problem, but do it because it will be historic, and/or because you want to.

Bring water.

5. Sunscreen, water & bend your knees!
Don't stand with your knees "locked" or you'll likely pass out. Flex your legs, hydrate often and enjoy the wonderful experience - with your sunscreen!

6. I have a wicked cold. I hope that doesn't get in the way.
I'm pretty fit though. I've ran 6 years of cross country in the Arizona summer.

This is a big deal. I can't believe I'll be going through this in less than 4 years.

10. You have to have a ticket (Given to you by a family member). Or you have to volunteer.
If you want to volunteer you need to be next to Wells Fargo arena at 1 PM tomorrow. You'll be working until about 6 or 7 outside. At the end of your work, you get a ticket for the commencement.

11. Ticket counter? Heat is no problem
Edited on Wed May-13-09 01:42 AM by JonLP24
I've worked hours on end in a motor pool in Kuwait.

Do I need to bring any other documents besides ID?

edit: Do I go to the ticket counter at Wells Fargo to volunteer? The entrance? Where?

You'll get instructions as to where you are assigned, when you arrive.
