Yes, for my sins, I am going to Washington to see Barack Obama become POTUS. I will be spending a week there, and I expect it to be damn cold. Irish Examiner colleague Conor Ryan (who will soon dip his toe into the world of blogging himself) will be coming with, as will one of my fellow subs.
We have booked tickets for at least one ball (the Lincoln 2.0 one), and are keeping an eye out for others (The Purple one looks interesting, if expensive).
Hopefully lots of photos and some video. And yes more writing, following complaints from Joe that my writing has become lazy of late.
Anyone else going?

I am so unbearably jealous.
Enjoy! Tweet early and often.
I’ll try and do that tweeting too! 🙂
Jealous +2 – you’ll be free from wheelchairs in your midst though! http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2009/01/02/presidential-inauguration-will-be-inaccessible-to-many/
