Inauguration Day
While the Washington Post has fully convinced me not to make my way down to DC for Tuesday’s inauguration due to the logistical nightmare that the city faces with masses of people trying to make their way to the National Mall, I’m instead trying brace myself for the crowds in Baltimore as Obama and Biden stop by tomorrow as they make their way via train -in the spirit of Honest Abe – to DC. Temperatures are predicted well below freezing here, so I thought I’d share a few links you can enjoy from the comforts of your (warm) home.
- Postcards to Obama (pictured above)- a postcard project started by Baltimore artist Rebecca Nagle to send messages to the President Elect {via red prairie press}
- Can & Did: Graphics, Art, and Photography from the Obama Campaign – a show of top-notch design that has come out of this political season at Danzinger Projects in NYC {via The Daily Heller}
- The Official Inauguration site
- Obama and Unicorn Save the Market by Dan Lacey – um…wow {thanks, Ben}
*I’ll update the list as people share links
P.S. Thanks to Lara for including Prêt à Voyager in her list of 6 travel blogs she would want to have access to if she was trapped on a desert island. From a person who makes a living as a travel writer, that means a lot! Check out her complete run down here.

I am trying to figure out what time they’ll be coming in, and stand along the tracks leading into the city. I hear he’s “slowing down” at one of the MARC stations north of B-more.

I really, really wanted tickets to the Inauguartion… and now that I didn’t get them, I am really, really trying to be disappointed, and I am, but not as disappointed as I feel like I should be. I am looking forward to drinking hot cocoa in front of the television, under a warm blanket.

One of our authors, Kat Calvin, is heading to the inauguration. She’s put together a brief inauguration guide. She’ll also be covering the event from an independent traveller’s angle.
