It is also being re-broadcast tonight on HBO--I believe at 7:30. I just might watch it again.

It's a good dry run for Tuesday, too. I think they said a half million people came for the concert. It didn't look as crowded as I thought a half million people would be. There was still plenty of free space. So I guess a million or two won't be that bad.

Exactly, the aerial pictures during the performances was really nice...Gave you great angles & views....I suspect the number will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.5 - 2.0 million

The other thing I noticed is that the crowd seems very racially mixed. I was glad to see this, considering the snide predictions that inaugural events would attract mostly black people. I knew all along that was a bunch of bull--but I'm glad to have visual proof. Nothing like a camera panning through a crowd of 500,000 to prove a point.

Yup, it was plain to see that people of all races are excited about our new POTUS, and excited to see him inaugurated. I noticed the same thing yesterday with the crowds in Philly and Baltimore. Also, looks like the alarmists who predicted hundred of fights and a wild crime spree were wrong. So far it's been a pleasant weekend, and things are going smoothly.

Default Stand UP !

To all those who went to Washington DC today , to show support for our new President , and his administration , they stood up. To all those who will brave the cold on Tuesday , you are standing up.
Its now time for all of us to stand up , and be counted. These are historic times. Never in the minds of most of us , has it been more important. Show support !
Stand up...and be counted , its your Country , be proud.....whatever your politics.
