LGBA was invited to play at both of Clinton's inaugurations, but only in concert style on inauguration day. Strangely, the Bush administration didn't accept LGBA's application to perform. And now Obama, beautiful, magnificent, intelligent, forward-thinking, open-minded and accepting Obama (yes, I'm in love with him) has no only accepted LGBA's application to perform, but allowed us a spot in the parade. And I have to decide if I want to do it by 9pm EST tomorrow. Eeek!
OH, and I should point out the money factor. $110 for registration and uniform. God only knows how much for airfare. Same for hotel for three days. I would have to miss three days of work as well, which I will probably not get paid for. Hella expensive. But that's why credit cards were invented, right? I'm really really really undecided. If I lived in Baltimore I wouldn't think twice (and I did attend Bush's inauguration parade, but only in the capacity of the Turn Your Backs on Bush protest). But now I'm on the other side of the country.
What say you, wise council?

That said, it's a historic event, and there'll never be anything else like it. Plus, they extended liquor serving hours for all bars till 5am in the DC area, so it'll be a huge party! If my wallet could afford the airfare, I'd be there in a second. And to march in the parade?! That is just awesome. Guess I'm voting that you should do it (and take lots of pictues!)
