Inauguration Weekend



Most people celebrated over the weekend, I was no exception. Washington DC was crazy. I went to a couple bars and they were packed. Everyone was celebrating the new president! People were partying in the streets and yelling "OBAMA!!" I ended up in Chinatown and there were chinese people doing a dragon dance, like they do on new years in china. My only regret is that I ended up at the metro at the Verizon Center. Roads were closed and there were cops everywhere. I soon found out why. The kids concert just let out. Jonas Brothers, Miley Cirus, Obama and his kids were at the concert. When I say I was met by a stampede of kids im not joking, I thought I was going to die. I was glad to see my friend Kevin from Pittsburgh and Dan from Philadelphia who came down for the festivities. Overall it was a good weekend, for me and the country.

    I like that you are discussing politics and current issues. I wish more people did that!

  3. I work at Union Jack's in Ballston and that weekend was crazy! A lot of people were from out of town (much more than normal) but what was really awesome was all the locals out and about. Young and old, everyone was celebrating something.
