Wife and I are concert bound tomorrow. Anyone else going?
Looks like quite an event: Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, U2, Garth Brooks, Sheryl Crow, Renee Fleming, Josh Groban, Herbie Hancock, Heather Headley, John Legend, Jennifer Nettles, John Mellencamp, Usher Raymond IV, Shakira, Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, will.i.am, and Stevie Wonder. Starts at 2:30 pm. Near Lincoln Memorial.

There was some confusion that the start time was 7pm but WashPost now has it at 2:30pm.

I cannot attend the inauguration so this is the next best bet. Should be fun if we don't freeze to death!

pretty warm.

6. I'm going. Good thing I found Dad's polar flight suit he wore on a submarine in '62!
I'll look like an idiot, but I'll be warm.

7. HA! Clearly fashion will not be highest priority tomorrow.
We will be bundling up like eskimos. If I see someone in polar flight suit that looks like an "idiot" I will be sure to introduce myself. :)

12. I heard HBO is broadcasting it free as long as you have a cable box.
Not sure if any other stations will have it. I think HBO may have an exclusive. Which kind of sux since this is supposed to be a national event.

15. That's not clear.. I have read they might broadcast it live at 2:30pm ET and/or again at 7 pm ET.
I think HBO may have changed from their original plan which is why there is some confusion.
