I not only secured tickets for myself, but was able to give away 6 more tickets to members of the Biking for Obama team. Josh, Eleni, Albert, Julian, Kenjus and Jamie all reaped the benefits of the hard work they dedicated to helping film, coordinate logistics and support me ever since I came up with this idea. It was great to be able to pay-it-forward and get them tickets to experience yesterday’s historic events. (Its too bad we hadn’t gotten them earlier, they coulda paid off all my college loans!)

Anyways, my thoughts are fairly sporadic at this time, I haven’t had a chance to put it all together or even sit and be satisfied that I made it to DC.  The hoopla and media blitz that has gone on this week really tired me out (so much that I was too tired to get up @ 4:30AM on Tuesday to make it to a live interview on the mall–sorry “Fox & Friends”).

Getting into the inauguration was an amazing experience. If I had to describe it in one word, I’d have to say: People.  There were people for miles and miles. Riding the metro was like joining an enormous mosh pit, and walking two blocks around the mall took me an hour and a half!

Well, I’ll be sure to get on in the next day and update everyone with more of the experience, but for now enjoy the photos from this weekend in DC.
