1. No tickets, open to public.

I'm just gonna show up, will probably take place on the US Capital mall, possibly the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

There needs to be room for well over a million.

2. I've already secured a hotel room although unfortunately it's in Silver Springs MD

But good enough for me - I'll look for hotels again right after the election. I figured half of them will be dumped when McSame loses.

5. I expect to stay in Fairfax county and take the metro in.

I live in California, this is well worth the trip!

Good luck on the room, I don't think it will be too hard if you're flexible.

13. Stay in Silver Springs - we're doing the same exact thign

and I think a few other DUers may be there too. But I'm not 100% committed to this hotel, just wanted something secured.

15. Yup, take it to work every day. But you will have to get there early to

park. Although the federal government is closed, so that will help some, but I expect it to be very crowded downtown.

17. Yep

I'm very familiar with DC - I use to, um, work for pharma lobbyists :hide: (I was computer supporter).

I don't have the details now but at work I'll PM you the hotel. Thing is, after election day I'll start looking again for a better hotel perhaps downtown to the city.

We're about a quarter of a mile from the Silver Springs Metro, which isn't bad. But we'll keep looking.

6. Good Idea, I should do the same just in case they are needed...

but I doubt it:

"Several Presidents have thrown the White House open to the public. Andrew Jackson began the tradition, serving an enormous cake. Bill Clinton revived the open-house tradition in 1993."

See you there!

18. I want to go..I'm only just in New York..

all I'd have to do is get on bus with others who are going and get a place to stay for the night and then go back home after being there for Obama-Biden's Inaugeration:)
