Why is was so great to be in the thick of things. If took allot of hard work to get to near the stage.
I woke up at 5am to get to the crystal city metro at 530. One on it took us 45 min so go two stops. Each stop we sat their for a good 15 -20 mins. I knew at this rate i was not going to make it on time. So I bailed at the Farragut west metro stop and started to march with the thoughsands of other people towards the capital. With streets barracaded and lights flashing everywhere you walked it was easy to tell what direction it was. I would get to one street to relize there were so many people i would have to double back to try to get to my friend willi, his sister and her friend.
At about 8am i finally made it to willi. The swarm of people i had to get past to get to him was insane.
Then we waited in line for a long time finally getting up to the blue gate at about 10:30. This was the gate for our area where the Inauguration blue tickets worked. This was a long battle but worth fighting.
We entered into the blue area battle torn but ready for the show. Then the show started. It was so amazing. It was truly like watching history in the making. Looking on peoples faces you could see this was truly a remarkable event. I am so glad i could been there for this history in the making. I am excited to see what the next 4 years will bring. For the first time in a while i feel we have someone who maybe will look out for the interest of everyone. We shale see
Me and my boy Will dog with the our tickets.
Sheer number of people behind me was crazy - as fare as the eye could see
