The prices are themed, of course. $440 for a budget package, $4400 for a nicer room and tickets to various events... if you want the $440,000 special offer you get a warning that this package is not appropropriate for anyone getting a federal bailout.
it is probably going to be exactly like the south park parody of the election. obama supporters too happy, mccain supporters too sad. that show is so often 100% right on.

LOL, yes I'm definitely looking forward to the south park inaugural special.
I can't believe they are estimating 4 million people, that's insane. That's like doubling the size of DC metro area. I'm going, but it's going to be a logistical nightmare. I know a lot of people are thinking of driving in from outlying areas and parking at the Metro, but those lots will eventually fill then what? What about the folks trying to get on at closer in stations, will they have space to get on? Same thing for the VRE and MARC.
Like other's have brought up, what about porty-potties, that's going to be a lot of turd. Hopefully restaurants in the area are ready as well as gas stations for folks driving in. I'm excited about it, but I hope officials really do their homework on this.
Wow. This is like doubling the size of DC. You know, I'm really glad I'm at a terminus station. We're going to have to get there early for a parking space.
