Last-Call Is So 2008.
Ciph & Rosenberg report that Washington D.C is going to allow all the bars to sell alcohol 24hrs a day during President-Elect Obama’s inauguration. This does not sound like the D.C I know, so I do some “research”. Sho-nuff, NPR and The Huffingtonpost also report that from Jan.17th through Jan.21st at 2am, D.C is going to be completely drunk.
All drunk anxiety aside, it’s a pretty good idea for a city to capitalize on what is sure to be a huge influx of revenue; especially during the current economic environment. A economic environment I like to call “Yeah, it sucks being poor doesn’t it! Now you see what all the bitching was about Mr.Wall street man. I’ll take paper thank you.”
I digress.
I wish I could be there during the celebration because I know what D.C was like after Bush was first “elected” to office, because I was there. All of D.C seemed to hate itself. There were protests through the Federal Mall everyday. Instead of celebrations, there were angry marches. Instead of wine and spirits flowing all night, there was extra security around the White House and Capital Building with an extended security perimeter. Everyone was nervous about tomorrow, and now we know why. Actually, after reflecting on those early Bush moments, there is a bit of poetry in ignoring last-call for a few days; after the past eight years, an extra beer is exactly what America needs come January 20th. Cheers.
