Inaugurationpocalypse

By: Sonny Bunch

DCist has the scoop on road closures and the like. Unfortunately, I live squarely within the Forbidden Zone. I plan on spending as much time as possible at the Irish Channel (also squarely within the Forbidden Zone, and within 30 feet of my doorstep!) that day. I encourage any of my fellow prisoners to join in.

(Of course, that evening I’m sure I’ll have to cover one of the innumerable balls. That’ll be awesome!)

If you’re all stocked up on glow sticks and pacifiers, you could always check out Moby, who’s doing a DJ set at the 9:30 Club. His DJ set is actually kind of fun (if you’re into that sort of thing), and he’s a  smart, well-spoken guy. (All of which is to say, “When I interviewed him, he was nice to me.” It’s really not hard to obtain the loyalty of journalists. If you’re famous, be nice to us; if you run a think tank, provide a decent spread at lunch. We’re simple folk.)
