Thank you for contacting me regarding ticket requests for the Inauguration Swearing-In Ceremony on January 20, 2009. We have received your request and have added you to the waitlist. Please be aware that the waitlist does not guarantee tickets to the Inauguration Ceremony as Congressional Offices are allocated a limited number of tickets for their constituents. Please also be aware that we are receiving a large volume of requests and will do our best to accommodate as many people as possible.Based on that response, I didn't expect anything. But today I got this email from someone in The Kooch's office:
Hello Anthony:Holy shit! I'm in!
We are pleased to let you know that you will be receiving 2 tickets for the Inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama on January 20, 2009. It will be a day to celebrate and we expect everyone will be in good spirits. That being said, up to 3 million people are expected to arrive in Washington, DC for the festivities. To make your visit as pleasant and memorable as possible there are a number of specific requests/requirements/rules that you will need to observe on the day of the Inauguration.
So now all I need to do is to find lodging near the DC area during the most in-demand time of the year. Should be a snap, right?

Forget about the Red Roof Inn. They are booked solid in DC and in surronding areas like Laurel MD. You may have to stay in PA!
You could be as far as Baltimore and still get there by mass transit. Look for places within striking distance of the MARC routes as well as the DC subway system.
